Bravo to Joey and the Badass Women he taught us about!

Published on Nov, 2024

As part of an informal company outing, we took the Badass Women's History Tour and it was truly enlightening, inspirational and just fun! Couldn't have asked for a better guide than Joey, who was charming, warm and so knowledgeable! Since I live in the Gayborhood and have learned a decent amount, esp. about our local murals, I think I'll be back at some point to try that tour. Thank you, Joey, for the wonderful experience!

This is a tour worth taking.

Totally enjoyable tour. Joey was our group tour guide and did an excellent job. He was substantive on the history of the "badass" women and delivered his knowledge with energy and wit. We all had a fun time learning with him.

Great private tour with history you’ve never heard before

Published on Oct, 2024

Sean did a great job with our small group. The sites and stories of women, enslaved peoples, and LGBT+ activists lost to ‘history’ was very well organized and provided such an interesting alternative to the standard founding-of-the-country agenda. Highly recommend.

Perfect Bachelorette daytime activity

Published on Aug, 2024

Thanks to Joey and team for designing a truly WONDERFUL tour experience in Philly. Our group did a private group tour (about 10 of us) for my BACHELORETTE weekend. We figured what better way to celebrate women??? We had terrible cold and rainy weather and his storytelling was so engaging we barely noticed. Not only is he so clearly passionate about the stories he is telling, it is clear he truly knows and loves Philly. He had great recommendations for the rest of our day including lunch and coffee spots as well as bars. I can't recommend this tour enough for any group, you will not be disappointed by your experience and you'll feel glad you're supporting this group!

Book this tour now!

10/10, would recommend! Joey is the perfect guide. So much knowledge of the city, really great sense of humor. You can tell from the get-go, there’s a deep love of sharing information and showing off what the city stood and stands for. Much appreciation for the amount of shade you could keep us in on this sunny summer day! Thank you very much for your time! I learned so much about the incredible, badass women in our history!
