Perfect blend of food and history! - Flavors of Philadelphia exceeded our family’s expectations! David (our tour guide) was so personable and knowledgeable about the area. Our daughter has a tree nut allergy, and David made sure to connect with us beforehand to ensure that accommodations for her allergy were met. We are a family of 5 with three kids (ages 12, 10 and 5). We were trying to find a tour that the kids would enjoy and not be bored by. This tour was perfect! Our kids were engaged and excited to try so many new foods that they would normally never have the opportunity to eat at home. My husband and I enjoyed the eclectic menu, the tour of Philly, and also the tidbits of history we learned along the way. We would highly recommend this tour!

Philly locals can still learn more about Philly - We had an excellent time with Barry - he was lively, upbeat, personable, and kind. Very knowledgeable and was quite fun. We are from Philly but was still fun to do it and we learned facts that we didn’t know about running terminal market, etc.. would highly recommend!

Well-Balanced Food Tour - Our tour guide, David, greeted us with a warm, tasty treat, so that was a great way to kick off the tour. The food was tasty, and we felt full afterward. Our tour guide was knowledgeable about the city's history and landmarks and made a personal connection with our family. There was a good balance between indoor and outdoor time, with sufficient time to eat and shop. I highly recommend.

Our tour guide, Barry,... - Our tour guide, Barry, was so very knowledgeable about the city, the history, the art and of course, the food! He went out of his way to make sure everything was convenient for the group and made sure everything was organized and seamless. My Mom and I aren’t big on learning about history, but the food and walking through the city made it so enjoyable. Would highly recommend booking with him for a few hours in Philly!

An Awesome Experience From Start to Finish!!! - Awesome experience! I don't know how we got so lucky, but my party was the only one on the tour. This made the experience much more intimate and engaging. Rick Heimann is an excellent tour guide. He was very knowledgeable on the city's history. He encouraged and answered questions. He took some great pictures of us and more. Secondly, the food was amazing. The spots that we sampled were all delicious. Mari Mari being our absolute favorite. Not to mention, I was actually full after the tour. Thankfully, I brought my appetite. I highly recommend both the tour and Rick as the tour guide. You will learn a lot, and most importantly, have fun while doing it.

Even my grumpy teenager loved it - Alex was our guide and his tour was fascinating and fun. He was very kind and engaged. His city history on the developments and changes in Philadelphia were illuminating The food stops were so fun. And delicious! I tried things I historically wasn’t a fan of, but ohhh they were good. They knew the places that make everything delicious I went with my grumpy teenager and even he laughed and tried things. He really took to Alex’s stories. It ain’t easy to entertain a teen. I am so happy to say we had a blast. We will always remember it and feel like we saw Philly in a fun, closer manner.
