I definitely learned a lot and it was fun but I would have liked more serial killer and less history lesson. Had it also been a bit shorter it would have been better. We definitely could have gotten all of the most interesting stuff in, I less time. The tour guide was AWESOME though absolutely LOVED him, he knew his stuff for sure!

A group of friends and I did this tour last Saturday and it was so good. Our guide Joe was amazing, very knowledgeable and funny; I've lived in Philly my whole life and thought I knew a lot but I learned so many interesting facts and tidbits from taking this tour. I will definitely recommend it to my friends both local and who visit from out of state!

Having done historical and ghost walking tours in other cities, when I saw the cemetery and serial killer tour, I signed up right away. I wasn't disappointed at all. Both tour guides were terrific -- they know their material and have fun sharing it with the group. It is adult in terms of subject matter and language, but that made it more interesting and brought the stories to life (so to speak). Very enjoyable way to spend 3 hours walking around Philadelphia.
