This tour is special, one of a kind! - Get in line for THIS TOUR! Taste craft food with a story. Learn the background from a journalist who has dug into the story behind the food you'll taste. The tour guide shines a light on the people, the history and the reason that the food you will taste is special. It is all authentically and lovingly created, as is the tour which highlights the places you may not notice on your own. Do. This. Tour!

A fun walking and food tour of Philadelphia! - Danny was a great tour guide for our family outing. We learned about the history of 6 different restaurants, and sampled foods from each of places. I really appreciated hearing about the Italian heritage found in the Italian Market neighborhood. We also have discovered many places to eat when we return to Philadelphia.

Highly recommend this tour for locals or visitors! - Had such a great time on my tour this weekend. Danny was a great guide who was friendly, fun and very informative. Lots of good history on the chefs/owners, food, neighborhoods and more. This would be a great tour to do when you have out of town visitors but I also really enjoyed it as a local. All of the food was delicious, not a single complaint about any of it. I now have new spots I need to go back to plus they give you a cheat sheet of all kinds of Philly favorites to try! Thanks for a great tour!

A Different Side to Philadelphia - I cannot recommend this tour enough! I’ve been living in Philly for quite some time now, but this tour exposed a different side to Philadelphia I didn’t know existed. Maddy was such a wonderful guide and is incredibly knowledgeable about the neighborhood and the city as a whole. She weaves history, culture, taste, and a few jokes to create such a unique and fun way to see the city. Also, the food you try is FANTASTIC. Every bite is delicious. Whether you’re a local who has been here your whole life or visiting the city for the first time (or second or third), go on this tour! It’ll make you recognize Philadelphia as the beautiful and diverse city it has become!

Thoughtful and impressive tour! - Enjoyed my Tiny Table Tour led by Maddy. Appreciated the communication ahead of the scheduled tour acknowledging the challenging hot weather expected and allowing participants an opportunity to reschedule. The tours are kept to small groups - mine was just 5 guests and Maddy. Maddy is an excellent guide and has created a thoughtful tour that gives visitors a real feel for the diversity of the neighborhood while sharing interesting historical and anecdotal information. It's evident she has done lots of research and cultivated meaningful relationships with the vendors/restaurants we visited. Through this tour I was able to see a part of Philadelphia that's not necessarily on the tourist path and really get a feel for life in that part of the city. Would highly recommend!

A little different, but good. - Maddie was engaging and knowledgeable about the food and the neighborhood. The food was not quite what I expected, but there was a wide variety of flavors.
