Family friendly/very informative - Alex F was an amazing tour guide. He was kind, friendly, funny and very informative about not only the food and restaurant scenes, but also about history and architecture all throughout Philly. We loved it! My 11 and 4 year old both enjoyed it, as did I! Don’t even think twice, just book it!
