We highly recommend this tour to ANYONE who enjoys a bit of crude humor, interesting history, and a unique perspective on this city. The tour feels just as informative on the history as any history focussed tour, but is much more exciting, engaging, and fun. Ted was very knowledgable, funny, and entertaining. The stories he told us were great! He was always engaged with everyone and answered everyone's questions. He was an absolute tour-guide treasure!

The tour was fantastic! We had Ted Sisco as our guide and he did a wonderful job. We learned a lot of cool information that you wouldn't hear from most historical tours. We would definitely recommend it and would recommend him as a guide.
