This was a great way to see many historical spots and also learn some dark serial killer history. Ted was a wonderful guide. He is witty, knowledgeable, and genuinely interested in the subject matter. Take this tour!

Great tour with some great history sprinkled in. I would definitely look to do another tour with this group next time in Philly!

Grim Philly has a serial killer tour with Ted Sisco and it is simply splendid. Not only do you learn more about the grim side of Philly but if you’re a history buff like me, the tour is riddled with a plethora of information. And Ted does an amazing job at sharing bits of information that you wouldn’t normally read about. He was so informative and had a great sense of humor that helped to lighten up the tour during some of the darker points. He asked us questions and gave us time to answer which, for me, was a nice engaging aspect. The tour was over two hours and with everything we saw it felt like it was only 30 minutes and I was bummed when it was over because I could have listened to him talk for hours. When you take this tour, and you will, be sure to get Ted. You won’t regret it!
