Had a great time. Hit many of the historical sites and Madame Toni was a great guide- funny with a lot of interesting facts and stories. I would say it was more raunchy than spooky/scary, but we still enjoyed.

Very amusing tour, good mix of history and spooks with a lot of raunch on top. Made Toni was a hoot, well paced and humorous, she was also has access to areas in need that my wife appreciated.

Our tour guide was so funny and knowledgeable!! Got my steps in and learned a lot. My bestie and I had a blast!
Kenneth_K, Apr 2024
What can I say! I missed Madame Antoinette so much I had to go back! I took this tour back in, I want to say February of 2021, and this is the first time since then I've been back to Philly, and one of the first things I did was book this tour! Toni has such humor and panache in her delivery, and is a fantastic fount of knowledge. Vivid, Salacious, Bawdy knowledge. The Tour itself straddles the line between "History Lesson" and "Group of friends hanging in the park after dark telling jokes" and it is absolutely well personalized to the tour group in attendance. I've been on the tour twice now, and If it takes me another couple years to get back to the city, I'm sure I'll book a refresher then too. If only to hear Toni tell her...ahem...matronly stories!

Sara was super cool! This tour was the first of my tours in Philly and what a way to start it off. This is a very unique and different take to a tour and thoroughly enjoyable. This truly was the highlight of my trip. Don't miss your change to see Philly with a completely different lense. 10/10!
Warren_P, Mar 2024
We learned all the history that they don’t teach you in high school. Or college. Or anywhere. It was truly a great combination of Philadelphia and US history with a raunchy and dark twist. Our tour guide Ted was fantastic. I wish Ted had been my history teacher in high school!
George_G, Mar 2024
The tour was informative and entertaining. Easy walk through history, with and engaging and pleasant guide.
