Ted was our tour guide for this Saturday afternoon tour. He was GREAT! He is personable, funny, knowledgeable, and an absolute HOOT! If you're offended easily by certain language, then perhaps this isn't the tour for you. It's all adults and handled as such! Thoroughly enjoyed the tour, along with the Christ Church tour by Bob included. You don't feel rushed and feel like the guides truly enjoy their tour-guide duties. Lots of fun and planning on going back in the future for yet another Grim Philly tour. Chose "Friends" tour as none of the categories were suited for us. This was my son who is an adult and myself.

We had such a great time taking this tour. Ted, our tour guide, was really funny, knowledgeable and *right* amount of vulgar. I highly recommend this tour to anyone who loves hearing about blood and gore and history. It's great for out-of-towners and locals!

We decided to do this tour at the last minute and had a complete blast. Our tour guide Ted was hysterical and knowledgeable. One of the best tours we've done and are already planning to come back for the Vampire, Sex and Ghost tour.
