Life giving, inspiring tour of lesser known Philly history - Wonderful day learning more about the unsung history of women who have made Philadelphia and America better with Beyond the BellTours! I learned so much that I didn't already know and was inspired by women who saw a future that didn't exist and fought for it even when it was hard or seemingly impossible, not letting expectations or limitations of their time stop them from doing what was right and expanding possibilities for all people, especially those most marginalized in our society. Our tour guide was knowledgeable, kind, thoughtful, and engaging. If you're looking for something new in a place you thought you knew well, this tour is for you.

Amazing Tour, Highly Recommend - The tour was terrific. Our guide Joey was personable, very much knew the history and gave a real persective of the what people, men and women, were thinking and doing at the time of the country’s birth and after. It felt more like a great conversation instead of a lecture because our guide listened and genuinely liked responding to our reactions and questions. We came away with great sense of the city’s personality today. We will highly recommend this tour to others.

Bravo to Joey and the Badass Women he taught us about! - As part of an informal company outing, we took the Badass Women's History Tour and it was truly enlightening, inspirational and just fun! Couldn't have asked for a better guide than Joey, who was charming, warm and so knowledgeable! Since I live in the Gayborhood and have learned a decent amount, esp. about our local murals, I think I'll be back at some point to try that tour. Thank you, Joey, for the wonderful experience!

This is a tour worth taking. - Totally enjoyable tour. Joey was our group tour guide and did an excellent job. He was substantive on the history of the "badass" women and delivered his knowledge with energy and wit. We all had a fun time learning with him.

Great private tour with history you’ve never heard before - Sean did a great job with our small group. The sites and stories of women, enslaved peoples, and LGBT+ activists lost to ‘history’ was very well organized and provided such an interesting alternative to the standard founding-of-the-country agenda. Highly recommend.

Perfect Bachelorette daytime activity - Thanks to Joey and team for designing a truly WONDERFUL tour experience in Philly.
Our group did a private group tour (about 10 of us) for my BACHELORETTE weekend.
We figured what better way to celebrate women??? We had terrible cold and rainy weather and his storytelling was so engaging we barely noticed. Not only is he so clearly passionate about the stories he is telling, it is clear he truly knows and loves Philly. He had great recommendations for the rest of our day including lunch and coffee spots as well as bars.
I can't recommend this tour enough for any group, you will not be disappointed by your experience and you'll feel glad you're supporting this group!

You can tell from the get-go, there’s a deep love of sharing information and showing off what the city stood and stands for. Much appreciation for the amount of shade you could keep us in on this sunny summer day! Thank you very much for your time! I learned so much about the incredible, badass women in our history!

So Much Fun! - I was in Philly for a bachelorette party and my group took the Badass Women’s History Tour. The forecast said it was going to rain and did it ever! Joey, our tour guide, was so accommodating and did his best to keep us under shelter or inside during the tour. He was informative and made the tour fun and engaging. This was my first time in Philly and I was amazed by the diverse group of women that made this town what it is today. Thank you Joey for being a great tour guide and humoring our group by wearing your matching “Vote For Women” sash!!
