Overview

This isn’t just a walk through South Philly — it’s a step into Philadelphia’s hidden underworld. I connect real crime scenes, mob hangouts, and immigrant history with vivid storytelling, so travelers feel like they’re part of the story, not just listening to it. Unlike generic city tours, this experience blends colonial roots, true crime legends, and the mafia’s rise, making history exciting and unforgettable. With my background in event management, I know how to create atmosphere, keep groups engaged, and turn every stop into a moment that sticks with you long after the tour ends.

What's Included

  • Access to hidden mob history spots & landmarks
  • Storytelling based on historical research
  • Recommendations for nearby food & drink after the tour

    What To Expect

    Italian Market

    At the Italian Market, you’ll step into one of Philadelphia’s most iconic neighborhoods — a place where immigrant traditions, colonial history, and mafia legends all come together. As we walk through bustling shops, old butcher stalls, and narrow side streets, you’ll hear how this vibrant community gave rise to powerful networks of protection and control. We’ll stop at historic landmarks tied to the city’s mob bosses, uncover hidden stories behind storefronts, and see how the Italian Market became both a cultural heart of South Philly and the perfect backdrop for organized crime.

    The 700

    Once South Philly’s crown jewel of nightlife, Palumbo’s drew celebrities, singers, and mob bosses alike. In the 1940s–60s, this club was where deals were made over cocktails and whispered conversations in dark corners. Though the building no longer stands, the site tells the story of glamour, secrecy, and danger — reminding us how organized crime blended with entertainment to hold influence in the city.

    Philadelphia Mills

    934 Snyder Avenue, Philadelphia, PA 19148 This modest South Philly rowhouse belonged to Angelo Bruno, “The Gentle Don.” As head of the Philadelphia crime family from 1959 to 1980, Bruno kept a relatively peaceful reign compared to other cities — until his assassination in 1980 outside this very home. Here, travelers will learn how his death sparked bloody turf wars that changed the mafia forever.

    St. Adalbert Roman Catholic Church Philadelphia

    923 Christian Street, Philadelphia, PA 19147 Built in the 19th century, St. Paul’s became a cornerstone for Italian immigrants in South Philadelphia. Families gathered here for weddings, funerals, and community meetings. The church also witnessed the quiet presence of mob figures who blurred the line between faith, tradition, and power. Guests will see how sacred and secret worlds often overlapped in this neighborhood.

    Dock Street Brewery South

    Dock Street & Front Street, Philadelphia, PA 19106 In colonial times, Dock Street was the city’s bustling port, lined with taverns, warehouses, and smugglers’ alleys. Long before the mafia, this was Philadelphia’s original underworld — a place of black-market trade, contraband, and shady deals. Here, travelers will discover how the city’s colonial past created the perfect environment for organized crime centuries later.
