This was a fantastic tour to really understand the Gayborhood and its history, as well as some general LGBTQ history. Joey is a great tour guide and was really entertaining, thoughtful and educational. He was in touch with the group and was helpful about finding bathrooms and coffee when we needed it. Would definitely take tours again from this company!

We just finished our Beyond the Liberty Bell tour with Rebecca. It was terrific! She was very vibrant, knowledgeable, and brought the information to life. She was also very aware of our comfort on a hot day. Thanks for a great first trip to Philly.

Great tour to learn about some of the lesser known, but very important, people and parts of our history. Rebecca was a great guide— full of information and also very mindful of our comfort in the summer heat!
