    Ted gave an awesome tour! He was so fun. You can tell he genuinely loved the material and knew a lot about the different murderers/crimes. Can’t recommend enough.

    Ted did an amazing job. We came late and he filled us in on what we missed. Something he did not have to do. Very knowledgeable on his facts.

    We took the True Crime tour in Philly last week. It was tour number 2 for that day with guide Grimm and Ted as our guide. It was excellent! The events covered are interesting and Ted’s delivery is terrific. The focus was on serial killers - one of my favorite topics. Who knew there was so much to learn! The tour we took earlier the same day was family friendly but this one was adults only - there’s definitely a reason for that! We highly recommend taking this tour - we thoroughly enjoyed it!!

    Had an excellent time with our guide Ted. He’s super informative and we learned so much that you wouldn’t be able to learn on your own. Would definately recommend this tour to anyone! The added bonus was the Christchurch cemetery portion with our guide Bob from the site.
