    We had such a wonderful time on the food tour in Philadelphia with Alex F. Not only did we get to enjoy some of the city’s most iconic foods — the cheesesteak was absolutely delicious, and the soft pretzel was perfection — but Alex also brought the history of Philadelphia to life in such a fun and engaging way. It was the perfect mix of great food and fascinating stories. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who wants to experience the heart (and the flavor!) of Philly.
