This was a great tour! Rebecca is a wonderful story-teller. We learned so much in a fun and relaxed setting. It was our first trip to Philadelphia, and it made the trip so much more interesting to learn about the history from a pro. My 16-year-old son was with us. He's not very interested in history, but even he said it was awesome!!

This was my first tour with Beyond the Bell. Joey was very interactive and accommodating, providing me and all the other guests with water and pretzels. Joey took us to all the essential sights in Philadelphia and even brought out placards to give us a better visual of the diverse leaders who shaped Philadelphia.
