We were looking for something to do on the weekend and decided to try the Philly Grim Serial Killers & Cemetery tour. It sounded a little gruesome and some of the stories were but it’s also part of the history of Philadelphia. Our tour guide Joe showed up right on time and was very friendly and outgoing. Joe explain some of the less commonly known history of Philadelphia as we walked from place to place visiting some of the historical landmarks. The stories were great the tour was fun, and we had a great time. Our thanks to Joe and the folks at Grim Tours for an inciteful fun afternoon. We will be back for another Grim Tour in Philly.

Took the tour with Ted as our guide. He did an excellent job keeping the tour dark without becoming morbid. Definitely not a tour for kids (we had to pause a few stories to let a Boy Scout troop get out of hearing range), but an excellent choice for dark history fans. When a city is too dangerous for Ted Bundy, you know you’re in for good stories.

Had a cool afternoon in old city learning about local serial killers and a little bit of history and even some ghost stories! Tour was larger than I expected so it was sometimes hard to hear, A suggestion would be to ask everyone to come in closer when telling stories to larger groups or choosing a more quiet spot (I know that’s thought tho in a city) but our group lead was cool and made it fun and was also open to questions! We even got to get drinks and chat after the tour! We want to go back for a ghost tour!
