I did this the day of but for some reason the app asked me to do it again!! My experience was wonderful, my guide was excellent. She talked non stop.and gave us so much history in on our tour. For this preschool teacher history major it was excellent! We enjoyed getting to taste parts of what Philadelphia considers theirs. We have been on historic cites, wine, beer and now a food one in different cities and this one by far was our favorite. We got to taste and see.

The tour was good. The food was ok. Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable. He took us to 4 food places. First they gave us a slice of tomato pie, then a small piece of pretzel, then to have a cheesesteak sandwich and cheese fries and last we went to a place to have a cookie and half a small whoopie pie. It was all good but I did a different food tour in Philly and liked the food much more. I think the tour could deal more with better food choices. Besides that we were happy with our guide.

A great way to savor different Philly favorites in a short amount of time. I was only here for the day and I’m glad I booked this tour because we got a bite of all the things we wanted to try in a way that wasn’t overstuffing ourselves. Adam was a great tour guide!
