We went on the badass women of philly tour in October and loved it so much we brought our kids back in November. Rebecca is a delight. Take their tours, you are supporting a lovely local business.

My daughter and I had a great time on the 'family version' of the Badass Women's History Tour. I've lived in Philadelphia for over 40 years, but learned a ton of new things about my city and the women who have helped to shape it. Fabulous tour, with a passionate, engaging and dynamic tour leader!

Not your usual walking tour -- just many notches above. Joey was the ultimate guide: enthusiastic, articulate, well-read... and humorous, to boot. Would happily walk with him again and again. A small (9) group of interesting people from diverse backgrounds made for equally interesting questions/contributions. An absolute must while in Philadelphia.
