We went on the Badass Women’s History Tour as part of a bachelorette party. We had so much fun with Joey as our tour guide. His passion and knowledge was evident from the start. His delivery of the stories was super fun while being informational. The tour is just enough time to learn new facts while making you want to go research more. Really fun afternoon! Would recommend to anyone tired of the typical tour.

When I was searching tour options for our trip, I specifically wanted something different than the standard blah blah blah. I was traveling with my daughters (20 & 17) as well as my mother. When I came across this tour, I knew it was perfect! Joey was friendly, engaging, and very knowledgeable about the lesser known aspects of history or what you didn't learn about in boring old history books! This tour was EXCELLENT! If and when we return to Boston, we will definitely book another tour!
