About Providence Ghost Tour, LLC
Providence Ghost Tours hosts the city's longest-running haunted history tour, the Providence Ghost Tour. Since the company's founding nearly 20 years ago, its guides have led guests by lantern light through the shadows of the city. In recent years, Providence Ghost Tours has expanded to include an alternate route, Haunted Benefit Street, as well as Investigation Tours, where guests take part in a live investigation of sites along the tour route.
For those who prefer their history without the haunting, the company also offers two history tours: Parasols and Pocket Watches, available year-round, and Christmas on Benefit Street, offered between Thanksgiving and New Year's.
Tours run at least once a day, and private tours are available for larger groups such as corporate gatherings, birthday parties, family reunions, and conferences. Step back in time with Providence Ghost Tours and explore Providence in the most memorable way.
