Madame Toni’s your was awesome - Funniest and most interesting tour I had the pleasure to take this holiday. Madame Toni was awesome and badass. I enjoyed all her history facts, and coming from someone who has no interest at all in history, highest of compliments to her

Great historical, macabre, and raunchy tour - It was a wonderful tour! Madame Toni told us at the beginning that she was known as being "delightfully raunchy" and she lived up to those expectations and then some. There was no mention of witches or vampires or anything like that, but a lot of history packed into 90 minutes. And whale bone dildos. Yes. You heard that right.

You definitely need to go! - If you are ever in Philly and looking for something to do I highly recommend to come here, it was fun but also very interesting and informative. If you love history, like I do this is like watching a crime show in person. A fun activity to do!

Engaging Tour with Knowledgeable Guides - Joe was very informative and was able to answer all questions with enthusiasm. .All of the staff love what they do and you can see it as they engage with the tours; they are not the type of tour reading from a script. I was talking with friends and family about my experience, there are now several people who are wanting to do the Dark Philly tour in the coming weeks!

So good we will be going on their other tours - My wife and I went on the Witch and Ghost tour this past Friday night. Joe is a wealth of knowledge and solicited questions. He answered them all. He is very entertaining and the tour was very informative. We both enjoyed it so much that we will definitely be trying out the other tours. We will try to get Joe Wojie as our tour guide again if we can.
