Q&A

Q: Is this tour suitable for kids, or is it more of an adult experience?

A: The True Crime Philadelphia tour is primarily geared towards adults due to the nature of the stories told about serial killers and historical crimes. While older kids might find it interesting, I’d recommend checking with the provider if younger children can join. It’s always good to keep in mind the sensitivity of the content.

Q: Can you reschedule if needed? What’s the cancellation policy?

A: Yes, you can reschedule your tour with Grim Philly Twilight Tours. Just give them a heads up at least 24 hours in advance, and they’ll help you out. It’s great knowing you have options if your plans change, especially with life being unpredictable!

Q: What should I wear for the tour? Is it a lot of walking?

A: Definitely wear comfortable shoes since it’s a walking tour! You’ll be on your feet for around 2.5 hours, and the cobblestone streets can be tricky. Dress for the weather too; layers are a good idea because it can get chilly when the sun goes down.

Just did the True Crime Tour in Philly – so good!

I took the True Crime Philadelphia and History Tour last weekend, and it was amazing! Our guide was super knowledgeable – a history teacher who really made the stories come alive. We visited the Betsy Ross House and learned about this creepy guy named H.H. Holmes, which I wasn’t expecting. It was a fascinating mix of history and horror! Perfect for someone who loves true crime like me. Totally recommend it!

Thinking about gifting this tour – anyone done it?

I’m considering getting the True Crime Philly tour for my boyfriend's birthday. He's really into history and crime shows. I’m just wondering if it’s worth it. I love the idea of seeing places like Benjamin Franklin’s grave and Elfreth's Alley mixed in with the crime stories. Any thoughts?
