Joey led my company's pride group through the Gayborhood last week and I can't say enough good things about the tour! It was a ton of fun and I learned a lot about the queer people of and places in Philly that I did not know. Joey was an amazing guide and I think our whole group appreciated his humor as well as depth of knowledge about Philly's queer history! Highly recommend!

Took the Badass women of Philadelphia tour today with Martha as our guide. It was very worth the time and full of such inspiring stories of women that were true badasses. Martha was very personable and I could tell how moved she was by these women and how courageous they were. There was only two of us on the tour so it was very conversational and all of our questions were answered and we shared our own stories a bit as well. We covered a lot of ground and although it was cold out, it really went by quickly. I’d highly recommend this tour and Martha was great!

This was a stunning tour filled with history, love, and pride. Rebecca is outstanding at being cheeky with the witty comebacks and great balance with the knowledge.

Joey was so knowledgeable and friendly, on top of being highkey hilarious. It was great to hear about LGBTQ+ history and how the city has contributed so much to the development of the US :)

Joey did an amazing job!! I loved learning about Ona, hannah, and all the women in history that are talked about. I also liked the debunking of false historical beliefs!
