4.00There was no address on the building and weren’t told to meet indoors. The tour guide was sitting inside looking at his phone and we were stressed out trying to find him and not miss the tour.
Dont miss the food tour!

5.00Kelly did a great job! She really knows the city,the food was good, and the tour of Del Friscos was the icing on the doughnut. She interejected a lot of interesting history into the tour, and we tried tomato pie, soft pretzels, Philly cheesesteak, cheez fries, a doughnut and a cookie,so I was full too!

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.
