What you get

    About this experience

    Explore Philly's sinful past - scandals, fatal romances, serial killers, buried secrets, & haunted buildings where the dead don't rest easy. Philadelphia is a city full of secrets. Full of mysteries. Full of depravity. Some are tucked behind old walls and shuttered windows. Some are hidden in plain sight. Some are buried beneath your feet, sealed inside forgotten graveyards, cellars, alleyways, and stories polite history never bothered to tell. This is not the Philadelphia of powdered wigs, field trips, and nice little plaques. This is the city’s darker side—full of scandal, vice, sin, murder, restless spirits, and history that lingers long after the bodies are gone. On this wicked walk through Colonial Philadelphia, uncover some of the stories that made it one of the most fascinating and haunted cities in America. SEEK out the stories they tried to bury, EXPLORE the places where the past still breathes, and WANDER the narrow streets & alleys where the dead don’t always die.

    Great Philly Tour

    Went on a great spooky tour of Philly. John L knew so much history of the area that you won't find in any book. I will be going to more of his events.

    Wicked Philadelphia - Walking Tour: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Philadelphia.

    How much does Wicked Philadelphia - Walking Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at $35 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Philadelphia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Wicked Philadelphia - Walking Tour take?

    +

    Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Philadelphia is not rushed.

    Is Wicked Philadelphia - Walking Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Philadelphia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Wicked Philadelphia - Walking Tour?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is Wicked Philadelphia - Walking Tour suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Wicked Philadelphia - Walking Tour?

    +

    Around 0 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Philadelphia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Philadelphia and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Wicked Philadelphia - Walking Tour start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Philadelphia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Philadelphia?

    +

    Philadelphia's core is walkable: Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell need timed entry, the mural arts programme runs the largest public art collection in the country, and the Reading Terminal and Italian Market food walks fill the middle of the day. Outty Ranking favours operators who secure Independence Hall tickets rather than sending you to the visitor centre queue. On Outty we rank every Philadelphia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Revolution and the Founders: History Tour of Philadelphia, Dark Philly Adult Night Tour, Philadelphia Old City Historic Walking Tour with 10+ Top Sites. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Philadelphia?

    +

    April to June and September to October, mild weather and open patios. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Philadelphia?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
