This tour was amazing!! From the eats to the streets! Our guide was amazing! She knew sooo much information on the history of the area and is a solo world traveler and had so many good insider tips on how to travel, where to stay, etc. she also recommended other tours to check out and was such a wealthy of information and knowledge! We also truly appreciated that she helped us find the group when we first were arriving as we were running late and had trouble finding parking. Overall Meg was amazing and the food choices for this tour can satisfy any palate yum!

This was an excellent food tour, with five different food stops throughout Center City. Our guide, Rick, provided us with interesting and fun facts about Philadelphia and the food. He also gave us good recommendations for future trips. The various foods we tried were delicious. I would recommend this as a fun introduction to Philadelphia and its food scene.
Great food tour!

We enjoyed our tour with Chuck. Not only did we eat a selection of very good food, but we also learned about Philadelphia. He was very knowledgeable and personable and offered good tips for the remainder of our trip.

I want you to know that you’ll probably still be hungry after this tour. We stayed at the Reading Terminal Market and ate a dinner after the tour. The tour guide was great, his name is Barry, but a quarter of a Philly cheesesteak sandwich, come on!
History and food blended perfectly.
