Unfortunately, I was very dissatisfied with this tour. From the get go, he warned us that it would be long and probably end around 12:45. However, by 1 pm there was still another stop and two more serial killers to talk about. The stories were rambling and did not always have a point. For instance, he discussed H.H. Holmes for at least 30 minutes at the start and spent a lot of it on the Chicago aspect but never referenced the hotel that he built. He touched briefly on the Philadelphia connection but never got to the point. I had to ask him if the DNA results that were recently tested proved that it was in fact Holmes. Later on, almost into the 3rd hour, he made references to the French Revolution and Bastille Day and completely had his facts wrong. He said Bastille Day is in October. I chose not to correct as I just did not want to add any more time to the tour. Terry was a likeable enough individual but not a dynamic or interesting storyteller. And, as previously mentioned, not accurate. He also blatantly asked for tips which I did not really appreciate. The only part that I enjoyed was the segment in Christchurch cemetery where Bob took over and talked about two of the doctors buried there. All in all though, I cannot recommend this and was disheartened that 3 hours of my last day in Philadelphia was wasted on this banal and poorly rendered tour. Also, I would like to note that our guide also requested that we leave 5 star Yelp reviews. I was not going to go out of my way to bash him. But, in regard that I received this email and in hopes or better quality, I decided to respond and give my opinion.
