Entertaining, engaging, witty and great story telling! I’m Scottish and the balance of information, humor, language, all played a role in making it a great experience.

The tour was very informative, great stories about areas of the city that we've passed through and never knew the dark side of these streets.

This tour was absolutely incredible… Ted was fantastic… hilarious, well-spoken, and incredibly knowledgeable. It’s an adult-only tour, and that was exactly what we were looking for. You get all the fascinating history Philly is known for but told through the darker, more deviant side that you never hear about on typical historical tours. Ted blended facts, scandal, and storytelling perfectly… it was funny, edgy, and super informative all at once. He kept everyone engaged, kept count of the group, and made sure nobody got lost while somehow packing in an insane amount of information. I’m from right outside of Philly and still learned a ton of wild, true stories that I’d never heard before. Easily one of the best tours I’ve ever taken… history with a twist, and exactly how it should be told.

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.
