Knowledgeable, interactive tour. Small size and new information that is not discussed in other tours makes this well worth it. Guide was able to answer impromptu questions and was well versed. Guide also modified the tour a bit for the groups needs.

Thank you Joey for such an incredible, thoughtful and informative tour. As a traveler and a tourist, I want to learn the stories of the folks who have been left out of the dominant narrative. Beyond the Bell shared the beautiful communities and contributions of queer folks, Black folks, Native folks, and of course shined light on the "inconsistencies" within origin stories of Philadelphia. I laughed, I thought, and I learned. Please join them on their tours-
