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.

Ted was amazing and it was a very interesting tour. I didn’t expect to learn as much as I did. I normally am not a huge history person but the way he told the stories and interacted with the crowd was refreshing. Already looking into another tour later in the year!

The gf and I went on this tour today and we got Ted as out tour guide, he was awesome and told as if you get offended this isn’t your tour after that his personality kicked in and it was great 10/10. Ted if you see this thanks for being the guide.
