Spooky Stories & Chill

Very educational, funny and strange (in a good way!) 2 hours long with lots of walking but plenty of benches to sit at.

DO IT!!!!!!

If you’re thinking of booking this tour… DO IT!!!!! It was sooooo much fun, so interesting and still super educational! The history was interesting, the darker content was handled so well and the ghosties? So intriguing. Brianna was our tour guide and she was phenomenal!! I could tell how passionate she was about the history of the area and how much she really loved sharing these stories. Truly would recommend to any friends or family heading to Philly and would absolutely LOVE to do another GrimPhilly tour if/when I make it back to the area!

Fun and different date night with my girlfriend

Our guide was very knowledgeable about the sites she took us to, and she was personable, funny, and interactive with our group. There was annoying loud cars that frequently drove by but that’s to be expected in the city on a Sat night.

Awesomeness!!!

This tour was SO MUCH FUN! Our guides, Brittni and Andrea, tag-teamed our tour which we are so grateful for! I think we got the best tour having both their perspectives and story telling. Both Brittni and Andrea are so passionate about Philly’s history and were able to combine the dark side of the founding fathers with facts and humor. They were both so fun, funny & knowledgeable. We learned a lot and laughed even more. One of the better ways we spent our time here in Philly. Highly recommended! Thank you!!

Fun Night in Philly

This was a great experience...Ted was an awesome guide!! He kept us entertained while sharing his vast knowledge of the city. I have lived in Philly all my life and I learned so much from this tour!! (they don't tell you this stuff on your 4th Grade Class trip). Would recommend this to friends and visitors.
