Mostly positive

This was a well organized tour. Ted is very knowledgeable. I appreciated his detailed information about the historic areas of Philly and the serial killers of Philly. The best part of the tour was the burial ground tour where the information was entertaining and highly related to the specific location. The Lizzy Borden side story, personal stories and excessive use of the f-bomb were distracting.
Great Experience for the Macabre History Nerds

We did two tours with Grim Philly on our trip (this one and a Dark Philly adults only night tour). Ted was our guide for both of them. He was a great tour guide. Very knowledgeable and easy to get along with. He also tweaked the tour to our interests when possible. My husband is interested in history and I’m into the macabre and these tours fit the bill to keep us both entertained. I’d recommend these tours to anyone who is interested in the darker side of history and isn’t offended easily. My only complaint is a minor one but the tours did not end where they started. But like
I said that was just a minor inconvenience. Still good to know before you book which is why I’m including it. Looking forward to checking out their podcast and so glad we found these tours to check out.
Very entertaining

Yes was fantastic. Really knows his his history and serial killers. I loved the mixture of the stories about major historic landmarks as well as information on serial killers known to the area. It was a great way for us to see major areas of the city while getting some unique stories about the darker side of Philly.
Entertaining and informative

Our guide, Ted, was knowledgeable and personable. He is obviously experienced and has a personal interest in both serial killers and history. The actual walk was probably less than one mile while the pace of the "lecture" was brisk. TV-MA so not for the little ones, but my 14 and 18 year old children were fine.
Ted was very informative and has a great sense of humor. Looking foward to booking another tour with him.

I learned so much on this tour! Ted was very knowledgeable and was great at answer questions. The only bummer is that with the snow and pandemic, some locations on the tour we could not go into. But the route and the tour guide were great! I would definitely go on a different tour with this company.
Great tour even in winter with snow on the ground

We had an excellent experience on our tour. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about Philadelphia. Highly recommend. I realized afterward we didn’t get the complimentary drink mentioned but they may be due to COVID. Still ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️

Ted was amazing! I honestly wasn't sure what to expect because sometimes types can be cheesy. Not only was it interesting, Ted made it really enjoyable. I think if I had anyone else as my tour guide I would have been enjoyed it and left it at that. My friend and I plan on trying other tourd in the future and will be looking to request a tour with Ted.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
