My law firm organized a tour with Beyond the Bell for pride month and we all absolutely loved it!! Danny was a phenomenal guide! The tour was super informative and fascinating. I will be bringing friends along in the future.

My tour guide, Danny, was phenomenal. Danny is incredibly well spoken, gave extensive detail and stories. He has an incredible voice and is gorgeous. Highly highly recommend this tour.

This was a fantastic tour and one of the highlights of our time in Philadelphia. Martha was an outstanding guide—knowledgeable, engaging, and clearly passionate about LGBTQ history and the Gayborhood. She brought the stories of the community, the activism, and the people who shaped it to life in such a thoughtful and meaningful way. We learned so much about the history of the area and appreciated how Martha connected the past to the present. She created a welcoming atmosphere and made the experience both educational and enjoyable. Highly recommend this tour for anyone interested in Philadelphia history or LGBTQ history—and if you get Martha as your guide, you’re in great hands! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Deeply researched, brilliant, and engaging tour of the history of drag culture in Philly. Loved hearing directly from queens & kings through oral history interviews that were thoughtfully included throughout. Rebecca is the best, and we all left with a much richer appreciation of how drag has shaped the city. Everyone should take this tour.

My 14 year old granddaughter who was visiting from Colorado, my daughter, her boyfriend, and I took the Philly Gayborhood and LGBTQ History Walking Tour. The three of us females had taken the Badass Women History Tour two years prior, and liked it so much that we knew we wanted to choose Beyond the Bell Tours again. Joey was our guide, and we couldn't have asked for a better person to show us different historical landmarks, relate the history of the gayborhood in Philly, and answer our questions. Even though three of us have lived in Philly for some years, we learned so much. I wish history had been taught in such an interesting way in school! We all really enjoyed this tour, and want to take more ones from Beyond the Bell Tours.

The tour was fantastic and highly inspiring! You get a great history of LGBTQ+ rights, some women's history, black history, and activism amongst all three marginalized groups. The walk is a nice stroll and not difficult at all to navigate. Would highly recommend to all!
