Ted was awesome. Very informative and funny. Made a perfect ending to a fun evening. This is not your normal historic tour. You get the dark truths of history. Would do this again.

Ted was a great tour guide! He had a good mix of making the tour educational and funny. Learned a good amount of history along with some fun ghost stories and origins.

It was a great experience. Very informative! We especially liked the stories about our founding fathers. It was chilly the night we went so be prepared for that if you are here in October and there are no bathrooms available on the tour so be forewarned about that as well.

Our tour guide, Britnee, was great. She was incredibly knowledgeable and kept things interesting. The tour was a full 2 hours packed with information. I would definitely recommend this for someone visiting the area, or even for someone who frequents Philadelphia (such as myself) and is interested in the history of the city. My only wish is that there were more spooky or ghost stories- we heard a few, but I was really hoping for more. Would still recommend, just be aware that it definitely isn't a ghost tour.

Fun way to learn about parts of American history not often told. Informative and entertaining guide.

Fun stuff. Interesting information about Philly that you don’t learn in school. Nice to walk around the historical sites at night! A different perspective.

Heather was great. I’m glad she knew all her information. She was funny, courteous to bystanders walking past. She was awesome. I’d be on her tour again :)
