Very informative and entertaining. Our guide Pat was very knowledgeable and made the tour interesting. The groups aren’t large which is nice. Wear comfortable shoes , lots of walking .

Dare to walk in the shadows of America’s most haunted history… without the sound of sippy cups or snack requests. Founding Phantoms is Philadelphia’s adults-only ghost tour—designed exclusively for brave souls 16 and older. This chilling journey dives into the darker side of the Founding Fathers—uncovering ghostly legends, unsettling truths, and spectral secrets they hoped would stay buried. But that's not all... We'll also descend into the eerie evolution of America’s healthcare system, where "breakthroughs" often came with a body count. Fatal mistakes. Fascinating discoveries. And plenty of things that go bump in the operating room. If you're ready for a spine-tingling night of history, hauntings, and a few uncomfortable truths... we’ll be waiting in the dark.

I have lived in Philadelphia for 70 years and this tour taught me many things I never knew. The architecture of the old buildings we walked among made the atmosphere enchanting and unforgettable. I recommend this tour highly.
