We thoroughly enjoyed our bad ass women’s tour of old city Philadelphia. It was obvious our guide was passionate about the subject. It was also obvious that she had a framework for her tour but would go off script to give us a great tidbit of information as well. From the very first moment she made us feel relaxed, assuring us that we could stop at any time if we needed a quick break, to grab a cup of coffee or to simply sit in the sun and chat about one of the women. I encourage anyone to take this trip, not just women.

This is an exceptionally interesting and valuable tour, even for folks who have spent most of their lives in the Philadelphia area. It provides a wonderful counterpoint to the usual stereotypes about Philadelphia history. Our guide, Rebecca, was astounding: articulate, responsive to all of our special interests, with a wonderful sensitivity to the block by block features of the neighborhood. Highly recommended.

I took at corporate group of 19 attendees on this tour and is was phenomenal. Rebecca was a wonderful guide and super helpful in accommodating a group of our size. We couldn’t be happier and hope to have her speak at a corporate event in the future.
