Ted was the most incredible tour guide! He made this experience so much fun and so enjoyable. He had such a large amount of knowledge to share and I learned so much from him in a short amount of time. I would recommend everyone to take a tour and I will most definitely take another one my next trip!

I had such a great time! The experience was super fun, educational, and interesting. Our tour guide, Ted (I remembered his name with the mnemonic device he suggested- Ted Bundy lol) was hilarious, super knowledgeable, and has that classic East Coast toilet mouth us west coasters have come to know and love! My husband and I love Philly and like to visit often. I can say with 100% certainty that we will be back for one of the night tours. Hot tip: Check out the podcast! Super fascinating and a fun thing to do after soaking in the cool info from the tour. The folks at Grim Philly know their stuff!

This was the best most witty and enlightening tour I have ever taken. Our guide was a local history professor. This tour included a fantastic eclectic mix of dark history and true crime and the cemetery visit was a beautiful touch. Their philadelphia true crime podcast is an added bonus! Fabulous experience in Philadelphia that should not be missed!
