Worthwhile tour! - Owen was a FANTASTIC tour guide. He was so knowledgeable and really made the tour feel like a great blend of food and philly facts! Would definitely recommend! Just know that the Amish stands in the Reading Terminal Market are closed on Sunday so plan accordingly!

The Only Way To Truly Understand Philadelphia - Food tours are one of our favorite ways of visiting a city. You learn aspects of the city and its history that you'd never find out from a standard historical tour and, well, the food is delicious! This was a particularly good tour. Our tour guide, Kaitlin P., was incredibly friendly and knowledgeable about Philadelphia and its cuisines. You'd think that a tour that features things like pretzels, tomato pie, and cheesesteaks would be pedestrian, but it was absolutely incredible!

Two for 1 tour - Steve did a great job hosting and had special seating and early entry throughout the tour. A great chance to get a historical tour and food tour in the same excursion.

Philly food tour - Kaitlyn was wonderful! She introduced us to several Philly treats and all were delicious. We also enjoyed the added bonus of some historical info about the city and several buildings. Kaitlyn thoroughly enjoyed her job and was very friendly. Great tour!

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.

Fun time - Tomato pie was a new experience for us, we all liked it. We also loved the ending at Reading Terminal Market. Steven was knowledgeable and engaging. We went to Tomato on Top for cheesesteaks during the Eagles game, which was fun yet loud.
