Family Fun Tour - Our guide was knowledgeable about the atea and patient as we purchased food items along the way. He knew all the right places to go! Although we had visited the Italian Market previously , many in our family group of 8 had not been to the Market. Great tour… highly recommend!

Learned a lot and ate some great food - I absolutely loved this tour!! I've been in Philly for the last 5 years and l've never gotten a chance to come down to this area and explore. Our tour guide, Theresa, was so kind and knowledgeable about all things in the Italian market. Ileft with a wealth of new knowledge and a full belly of food to match.
Would HIGHLY recommend!!

Fun and interesting experience! - This was a good time! I enjoyed walking through the Italian neighborhoods and learning the history of the area as well as some of the iconic businesses. I was given opportunities to purchase yummy treats like tomato pie and cannoli cookies. My tour guide did a great job giving me a lot of interesting information. I would recommend bringing cash because not all places might take cards.
