2025 – 2027
We’re officially approved! Beginning this fall, Badass Tours will work with EU partner organizations to build an educational model about researching and developing tours focused on women’s history. We’re excited to contribute our knowledge and expertise, and we can’t wait to learn about more incredible women in European history. Why not sign up for our Women’s History Tour and experience firsthand why we’re uniquely qualified for this project?
The project is scheduled to go through 2026 and be available live to the public in the first half of 2027. We’ll keep you updated as it develops!
