Interesting, fun, and engaging tour!

Worth the Price
Best tour in Philadelphia! Covers history of women that aren't mentioned in the texts I had in school. Zoe was an awesome tour guide; even treated our group to an extra stop.

We enjoyed the tour with Zoe!
What a wonderful tour! Zoe showed up on time, was very nice, spoke well and answered our. She clearly enjoys her city and its diverse character. Who knew about all these other things that happened here? If you are looking to learn about Independence Hall or Benjamin Franklin, a more traditional tour might be a better match for you.
Response from the operator: Thanks so much for your review! We're so glad you enjoyed your tour with Zoe.

I visited Philly for the...
I visited Philly for the first time and wanted to do some type of history tour, but I wanted something that was unique and more in tuned with my personal interests. The Badass Woman's History Tour was perfect! I learned a lot of things about some amazing women, most of whom I had never heard of before. Alice was a great tour guide and was full of cool information, plus just lovely to chat and walk around with.
Response from the operator: We're so glad you enjoyed yourself!

Important perspective
Enlightening; beautiful walking tour or areas of Philly; IMportant to understand the contribution of women in the history of Philly and the lack of public recognition for women’s accomplishments
Response from the operator: We're so glad you had a good time!

Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Philadelphia.
How much does Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia cost?
+
Prices start at $59 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Philadelphia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia take?
+
Plan for about 1.8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Philadelphia is not rushed.
Is Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 79 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 116 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Philadelphia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 1.8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia?
+
Around 41 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Philadelphia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Philadelphia and add a light layer if any part of the 1.8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Philadelphia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Philadelphia?
+
Philadelphia's core is walkable: Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell need timed entry, the mural arts programme runs the largest public art collection in the country, and the Reading Terminal and Italian Market food walks fill the middle of the day. Outty Ranking favours operators who secure Independence Hall tickets rather than sending you to the visitor centre queue. On Outty we rank every Philadelphia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Revolution and the Founders: History Tour of Philadelphia, Dark Philly Adult Night Tour, Philadelphia Old City Historic Walking Tour with 10+ Top Sites. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Philadelphia?
+
April to June and September to October, mild weather and open patios. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Philadelphia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia?
+
Included: Knowledgeable Local Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Badass Women's History Walking Tour of Philadelphia?
+
