R-Rated Vampire & Ghost Tour of Philadelphia

This was a horrible experience. First Groupon gave me the wrong address for the start of the tour. We are to meet at the stairs of the Independence Visitor Center, not at 599 Market St. We couldn't find the crowd at first. Then, when I called the number to get support, the Grim Tours customer agent was incredibly rude to me. Our tour included 12 people plus the tour guide. At the end of the tour, 6 people were left because so many people bailed because it was too cold and too boring. It was freezing outside, which you'd expect for a tour in January, but we just stood in the cold instead of actually walking around. The stories weren't connected to Philly and the credibility of the stories was very questionable. The tour guide was very boring and not engaging. At one point he made a problematic sexist comment about his wife which made the group uncomfortable. Also, Groupon said the tour would last for an hour and 45 minutes, but when we arrived to the tour, we were told it was going to last 2 full hours. Then the tour guide said he never finished in 2 hours and that he tended to run 15-20 minutes over. My group had to bail at 10:08 because were too cold and the guide was sad he had to "cut the tour short" because he had "2 more stops." I think that was disrespectful to his audience because it was clear we were too cold and he wasn't keeping us active. At least when you're moving, you're staying warm, but he was leading us to places all around Independence Square (hardly a tour, right?) and having us stand still for 20 minutes at a time. My friend spiked a fever at the end of the evening.

I had an emergency and had to cancel. Asked if I could use the ticket another time and was told that a manager would get back to me and never did.

Adam was knowledgeably and kept us captivated

Nice tour, nice guide! Highly recommended.

Adam was excellent. Knowledgeable, funny, and fully entertaining. Loved learning the nugget of history they will never teach you in school.

Our Tour guide Adam was very knowledgeable and told us a lot of stories that one will never learn in a traditional history class. It was a great way to spend our night since lot of other things in Philadelphia close at 5 PM.

The description of the tour and the expeditions set were extremely over sold. The stories were generic and a few of them were kind of a stretch (ex: vampires). The tour guide was good and engaging - kudos to her.
