The tour guide was really great but it was just a history tour. Nothing to do with serial killers and cemetery’s. We did not follow the the listed itinerary. The tour description was very inaccurate but we still enjoyed it.

I fear you may have gotten on the wrong tour. We have different tours that begin at the same place, and at the same time, but that go in to different directions. If you did not go in to a cemetery or discuss anything about serial killers then you definitely did get on the wrong one somehow. Sincerest apologies for any confusion. Just email us and we will get you out to the right tour as soon as you can make it out. Your next tour is absolutely free, and please do bring a guest free also with you as our apologies for any confusion with checking in the last time. We definitely want you to see and hear what you expected and to provide you with the best customer service here you can expect as also.

We really enjoyed seeing Philly sites and learning about serial killers from Philadelphia. Our tour guide, Joe, was very knowledgeable and kept the tour interesting. The only part that we were disappointed in was not seeing the actual sites where the serial killers lived, though we understand that those houses are not in safer areas of the city.

Even though I missed the cut off time for the groupon and had to pay full price I still feel totally satisfied with this tour and feel like it was money well spent. The guide was very informed and had great stories, and was sensitive to how cold it was when our group was out. The moonshine bar at the end was a nice touch where I got to spend a little extra time with the guide and ask follow up questions. I hope this tour gets really popular and that the guide's podcast blows up because he certianly deserves recognition for how well spoken and entertaining he is!
