I just can not get over how much I learned on this tour! I was never bored and the tour guide Joey was enthusiastic, knowledgable and open to discussion. Kindly, he also thought ahead about shady places to walk and stand along the route because the heat was extreme. Joey has excellent intuition and people skills and as the tour went on, I realized that he was adding context and details based on our personal interestes as well -- a wonderful bonus! Nice bathroom stops are located on this tour, and it's not a problem if you have to go. I hope this business keeps expanding -- I look forward to taking another "Beyond the Bell" and do hope they bring the poetry walk back.

We loved this tour! Articulate and knowledgeable people leading the tour, fun and engaging subject matter, and you learn about some of the people, not places, that are the heart of Philadelphia history.
