What To Expect

Liberty Bell Center

Not your typical Liberty Bell, this Dark Philly Adult Night Tour nonetheless traverses the path's of our Founding Fathers and doubles as a historical and sightseeing tour that includes mature-audience content and ghost stories. We walk directly up to The Liberty Bell and will discuss its history, damage, and significance in American history and as an icon of These United States.

Independence Hall

Independence Hall where the Declaration and Constitution were signed sits directly across the street from a known brothel and den of iniquity in where statesman and sports alike were known to frequent. Contextualizing debates for independence, the war, and founding of The United States with baser urges, philandering, and the sex industry in 1776 is what you will here in this location.

The President's House

The home lived in by George Washington, John Adams, (and Benedict Arnold) was not always revered the way it is today. Contextualized on this site will be the presidencies and military governorship occurring on this spot, along with darker histories of the location both during and after the revolutionary period; including the significance of archaeological excavations to the revelations.

Congress Hall

Significant for the inaugurations two American President's and early debates of our young nation while Philadelphia was America's capital...information on this site will flesh out the darker aspects of those men who sat in congress and senate here. We have a daytime tour exploring the rosier side of our founders. This tour is not that. And explores the darker side of America's founding by imperfect men, flawed and motivated (on occasion) by self-interest and lust.

Tomb of the Unknown Soldier of the American Revolution

Thousands of American Traitors were executed here by the British Crowne and buried in mass graves on this site. We visit them, contextualize the suffering, and retell the ghost stories and haunted lore here.

Merchants Exchange Building

This is the third tour I’ve done in Philly, the second Grim tour. Just as entertaining as the first one. Joe was very informative and funny without the cheesy, overdone “spooky” theatrics. Definitely suggest Grim if you want to know the history behind the tales.
