Great tour , highly recommend for true crime and Philly aficionados. Ted is great!

Ted's great storytelling abilities, his sheer enthusiasm for the macabre, dark sense of humor and immersing us in the history of familiar Philly neighborhoods Highly, hearing the stories as we were standing outside the Quaker Hall or Christ's Church Cemetery added to the experience. Matched. The time was fine. Added to the energy Appropriately dark
