Great Holiday weekend checking out the Italian Market - Our tour with Jacquie over Thanksgiving weekend was a great experience.  Taking this tour was to be Tourist in our backyard with our 9 yo son and 13 yo daughter.  Philadelphia region has so much to offer and check out.  We do food tours when we travel because they really engage our kids.  Jacquie was great and very outgoing and knows the Italian Market area  well.  All of the food stops along the tour were well selected and tasted fabulous.  I loved all the neighborhood history Jacquie would add along the walk through the neighborhood.  She was also great accommodating our 13 yo Vegetarian ❤️ I'm not usually a fan of roast pork sandwiches but the one we tried at Paesano's was spectacular.  One of the best rolls I have had in years.   Will definitely take friends to check out when in the area.  Gave us great Rocky history and made sure to watch over the long weekend.  Definitely recommend booking this tour for a great afternoon experience ❤️

Italian Market, Philly - Saturday morning 11am tour: Don't eat breakfast! We had quite a bit of food on the tour. Shops and restaurants were all very gracious and generous in a very busy situ. FYI, you spend 2/3 time walking and standing outside, 1/3 inside. Our guide Chef Lynn was enthusiastic and knowledgeable, a gem. The Italian Market is a treasure.

I really enjoyed Chef... - I really enjoyed Chef Jacquie's tour. She told us about the historical development of the area and introduced us to a variety of shops and restaurants. All of the items we sampled were very tasty. As a transplant living in the area, it was great to discover these places--I've tried visiting the area once and was too overwhelmed and intimidated to decide where to go. Now I have a couple of must-visits to start with in my back pocket and can explore from there.

Amazing - Was so much better than we even expected. Chef Jacquie was amazing. So much knowledge of the area, the history, the food with little tips here and there. If you're on the fence, do it!!
