The whole tour was great - To be honest I didn’t have one thing over another it was all rewarding and very informative. If I did have one thing to pick it’s the history of gangster life in Philly

History Plus A Cocktail? Yes Please! - Ted was great! He’s very knowledgeable and enjoys what he’s doing. This is for sure the “grownup” version of the tour, so if swearing or stories of scandal bother you, it’s not for you. The historical info is partly what you learn in school but with all the juicy details, plus extra stories about corruption, crime, and prohibition. We didn’t get a cocktail lesson, exactly, but we did get a free drink and he told us the history of it, what was in it, and why. We went to 3 bars with drink specials at each. Each was a different scene/vibe, which I always appreciate. I would absolutely do another Grim Philly tour!!
