Great Way To Show A Friend About Our City! She Loved it! And So Did I! - My friend from South Africa was coming to Philly for the day to see me. I scheduled this tour thinking it would be a great way to show her the city. It was awesome! I live in the suburbs but learned so many more Philly details than I had known before! The food stops were fantastic and Michael was a great guide! He was friendly, knowledgeable and we all had a lot of fun! It was fun to watch my friend enjoy Philly food and although she is vegetarian and did not partake in the Philly cheesesteak, she was graciously accommodated with a vegetarian hoagie, which was also tasty! I HIGHLY recommend this tour if you have a day in Philly and want to learn a little history and eat some fantastic food!!

Good history - I would have liked to see a better restaurant selections. Yget a mini soft pretzel from Philly pretzel factory, a small slice of tomatoe pie, a small cheesesteak from unknown restaurant a cookie and a donut from reading terminal. But the guide was terrific and I learned a lot more about the history of some of these foods and the area.

Tour - Adam was great but the food needed more variety. It was all heavy, not good for you, no color, calorie laden. We all felt disgusting and like a ton of bricks afterwards.
