This was a fantastic tour with a knowledgeable guide who provided an insightful exploration of Rhode Island's literature and mysteries. The tour was well-organized and offered plenty of new information about the state.
The tour focused too much on H.P. Lovecraft and lacked the haunting stories of Providence. I was hoping for a more dramatic and engaging experience rather than just a collection of facts.
The walking tour primarily highlighted authors connected to Providence and featured historical buildings. However, there was only one genuine ghost story shared at the conclusion. While some topics were dark, I wouldn't classify it as a ghost tour.
I anticipated a more chilling experience focused on ghost stories, but the tour leaned heavily on horror authors like HP Lovecraft and Edgar Allan Poe. While it was intriguing, I hoped for something more spine-tingling. Our guide shared her ADHD at the start, which I initially overlooked, but her frequent distractions by passing bunnies and other groups made it difficult to stay engaged. My biggest concern is that this tour is not physically moderate or wheelchair accessible. I’m not sure why it’s listed that way; older women in our group, despite being in good health, struggled with the constant uphill and downhill walks. This tour would only be safe for a motorized wheelchair. Overall, it was satisfactory, but I recommend investing in a pricier tour with better reviews.
This event is highly informative and enjoyable, blending history, beauty, and a hint of spookiness. However, it's worth noting that the tour features several hills that could pose challenges for individuals with orthopedic concerns.
On a brisk autumn evening in historic Providence, a small group gathered at Memorial Park, uncertain about what to expect. Then Nicole appeared with a lantern, ready to guide us into the night, distributing spirit detection devices along the way. As she recounted the tale of Providence’s medically verified vampire, we were captivated. Our hearts raced as we made our way to the Athanaeum, a place intertwined with the lives of Edgar Allan Poe and H.P. Lovecraft. Nicole skillfully blended history and lore into a captivating experience, having researched and crafted the script herself. Her warm and engaging presence ensured everyone, even those of us with hearing challenges, could follow along. When she offered an extended tour downtown, my wife and I had to stay behind due to our physical limitations, regretting the intriguing stories we missed across the river. Our farewell was bittersweet since we felt Nicole's charm and passion throughout the tour. Though we are now far away, we encourage others to join her for an enchanting adventure into the mysterious side of Providence.
This experience was an excellent opportunity to explore Providence while also gaining insights into its history. Although there were some steep hills, most of the ride was either flat or downhill. The city is beautiful, and the ghost stories and fun facts added to the enjoyment.
The guide focused excessively on Lovecraft, the author from Providence. The tour felt more like a discussion of his stories related to specific locations rather than sharing ghost stories, which was disappointing.
Riley had a wealth of knowledge and shared fascinating insights. We appreciated the time we spent with him and would definitely consider booking another tour on our next visit.
I had a great time on an informative tour guided by Nicole. Lasting around 1.5 hours, the tour highlighted various historic and “spooky” aspects of Providence. Nicole created a fun and relaxed vibe while clearly knowing her facts. I highly recommend taking a tour with her.
