Would Recommend - This tour definitely met our expectations. We were able to try several of Philadelphia's signature foods. Our guide, Steve, did a very good job explaining information and also managing the logistics of the group.

Great tour with knowledge guide - This was a great experience with an appropriate amount of food. You get to try out a few different places and get all the history from a knowledgeable guide. Kaitlin was our guide and I was thankful we got her as well. She also pointed us to some other food and interestibg places to check out as well for the rest of our adventures.

Taste of Philly - Karen was a great guide! It was a first time trip to Philly for my friend and this was the best way to show her some of the city, learn some fun facts and taste the foods that Philly is known for!

Philly is wesome and Karen Showed us Why - The process was simple. Updates and clear instructions for when and where to meet were easy to follow and explicit. Our guide, Karen, was energetic and knowledgeable about all things Philly. She worked her butt off to make sure our time was enjoyable. All of the establishments we visited were awesome. I would do this again!

Guide and group were great. Food was nothing to get excited about. - Nice history tour. Food was mediocre. Tomatoes pie, cheesecake sandwich with cheese whiz fries, cookie and donut. Food was not up to expectations.

Disappointed - This is more of a city history tour than a food tour . We always book food tours when we travel and this was the first time we have been disappointed. The pretzel ( not a whole one just a piece ) was cold and hard and we didn’t get to try any of the dipping sauces they had . The rest of the food was just ok not what you expect when taking a food tour. We got a bottle of water at the beginning of the tour but was offered nothing else to drink . I would not recommend taking this tour if you’re looking for a good food tour unless you want a history tour and don’t care about the food part .
