Tasty Flavors of Philly

5.00My wife and I enjoy doing the Food Tours. We have been on several in the Philadelphia area alone. We recently did the Taste of Philly Tour. We met Adam and the other participants and set out on our adventure. We learned the history of the pretzel and tomato pie, tasted several foods that Philadelphia is known for, and visited several sites in Center City. This is a fun Food Tour and surprizingly, we did not feel full after it was over. The tour ended at the Reading Market, where we sampled a Chocolate Chip Cookie and a doughnut. Take this tour, get some exercise walking around, and eat well. Nothing but fun.
