Rebecca is a brilliant guide and story teller. We thoroughly enjoyed her commentary and appreciated the visual aids she used to help tell the story of these nearly forgotten women who changed to course of human history. You could tell immediately that she well prepared and her stories were the product of diligent research and discovery. This is one of Philadelphia's finest tours and definitely one you shouldn't miss.

I recently was lucky enough to take the Badass Women of Philadelphia tour. If you want to learn about Philadelphia this tour is a MUST. As a lifelong resident of Philadelphia, I thought I knew the city. I learned so many untold stories about the women in Philadelphia history. Rebecca and Joey kept your interest with their passionate knowledge of the subject and the two hours went by so quickly. I will definitely take another one of their tours. So many more subjects to discover. As a bonus at the halfway point they served us pretzels with a yummy mustard!

Rebecca and Joey are refreshingly progressive as Philadelphia tour guides. Their tour was exactly as it was publicized. Stories of those we don't typically learn about in Philadelphia history (unsung heroes in the women's movement). They're both great story tellers and engaged with our group in a very informal and relatable way. Definitely go on their tours!
