5.00Kelly & Pete were very excellent in their presentation of several spooky encounters in Providence. I especially liked Kelly’s definitions of different terminology as we got underway. Also, Kelly was excellent at the ad lib when the gas ran out. Pete was very good at navigating the tour boat with high traffic of braziers & gondolas.
Haunted Boat Tour

4.00This was a very informative history and spooky folklore tour of Providence! It was a relaxing boat ride through the Venetian-style canals of the Providence River. The guide and boat captain were both friendly and helpful. My only criticism is the pressure to tip when gratuity is already mentioned on the website and in the confirmation. My wife handed the guide a $20 on our way out and when I followed and thanked her she didn’t respond, as if she expected a separate tip from me. It’s not a cheap experience to begin with so that moment felt a bit off-putting, especially since I worked as a hotel valet for years and never mentioned gratuity aloud.

3.00Couldn’t hear the guide clearly at the back of the boat. He needs to use a microphone. The check in is poorly marked.

5.00Just the perfect amount of time and fun facts. Evening tour made it more fascinating for my teen boy and girl. The dramatic narrator speaks clearly and shares the haunts of PVD, the captain adds his historical angle, too. A highly recommended way to spend an evening in Providence!

4.00The captain and guide are very friendly, professional and knowledgeable. We learn many of interesting things about the city, it's history and architecture. It the best way to "feel" the place. We definitely recommend this tour for all visitors. Also would love to explore another tour options during our next visit.
