Excellent experience! We used Go City passes and they were a little tricky to understand, but the staff was amazing and helped us figure it out quickly and easily! Our tour was fantastic and our tour guide, Joseph, was both extremely knowledgeable and fun to interact with! Definitely a fun way to spend a few hours and a great way to experience some of the classic sights of Philly with a fun, novel twist!

Ted was a wonderful tour guide! Personable, funny, and super informative! We’ll definitely be returning! While the weather wasn’t ideal, it was still a great time!

Ted was fantastic it was easy to see how much he loved the subject of serial killers and history- his excitement was infectious and despite the rain, I felt as though it ended too soon.
If you love to walk, talk, learn about history, stand on top of so many so many buried people- take this tour. Be sure to ask for Ted.

Perfect walking tour. One of the best I have done. Ted mixes a good amount of Philly (and American) history and serial killer stories. Highly recommend.

Joseph was a great guide. We had such a wonderful time touring Philly’s historic district and learning about all of the true crime that went on. Who knew?! So fun, so interesting. I highly recommend.

Joseph was a great tour guide and story teller. He knew the details, which was appreciated. We went to different locations and learned a lot about history and some very historical crimes. It was very entertaining. I took my daughter and her friend, both 16, and they enjoyed it as well. If you want a tour off the beaten path, you can't go wrong with this one. Well worth the money.

Fun way to spend an afternoon in Philly after you have done the usual tours. Joseph was a great tour guide - full of quirky, funny and lesser known history!
