5.00Chuck was the best! The food tour ended up being only my family of four so we felt like we were on a private tour. Chuck was so funny, personable, and knowledgeable! We learned so much and ate so much! Thank you for making it such a memorable day, Chuck!

Not only did he take us to some amazing spots to eat, but he also shared so much interesting history about the city along the way. It was the perfect mix of good food and fun facts. David was a fantastic guide — super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience really enjoyable. I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Philly or even locals looking to discover some new favorites!
