First off, I just want to say that they let me bring my toddler on the tour, so kudos to them for being family friendly! I've been in Philly for most of the last 20 years and I learned so much on this tour that I didn't know before. I love the way Rebecca tells stories - there's the interesting history and then the odd or ironic fun fact that she'll mention almost as an aside, but those little facts are what made it even more enjoyable. Take this tour - you won't be disappointed!

We had an absolutely wonderful tour with our guide, Joey! My daughter and I are still discussing some of the complex and untold historical stories that were shared on our tour. We loved learning about some pretty badass women from someone who’s passion for telling their stories was apparent! It was our first visit to Philadelphia, and this tour was a great combination of the historical landmarks found here, and some sites we would never have understood/ noticed without our guide. We highly recommend Beyond the Bell Tours and are appreciative of the recommendations and attention Joey provided. Thanks for a great day!!
