Don't Miss This Tour of the Italian Market in Philly! - My wife and I received a Christmas gift from our daughter and son-in-law for this tour last December and we finally booked it for October. We absolutely loved it! The tour not only includes stops at shops and restaurants in the Italian Market area (with numerous tastings of delicious foods and treats), but also great information about the history of the area. Chef Jacquie is very knowledgeable and personable, and she made the experience really enjoyable. If you love Italian foods and treats and have not been to the Italian Market area before, this is a great way to experience it and we highly recommend it!

Do Not Miss this Tour! - Chef Jackie exceeded our expectations for this walking tour of the Italian Market. We were captivated by her vast knowledge of the Italian immigration into Philadelphia as well as her experiences as a chef. Jackie has strong relationships with the business owners/staff along the tour and we were welcomed at each stop while we enjoyed delicious signature food, desserts, and even fresh produce. You will also enjoy local art and shopping ( if you choose) with a discount. You have not seen the Italian Market until you walk through it with Chef Jackie! Do not miss this tour.

Ciao, Philly Style! - Chef Jacquie was so much fun! She walked us through the history of Little Italy and the story of the immigrants. She grew up here, so she knows the best places to sample authentic Philly Italian. The samples were generous and very tasty. The pace of the tour was perfect with enough time to ask questions and stop to buy items along the way. Lots of fun, don't miss this one!

A delight with a “local” - This is truly a tour with locals that love their Italian neighborhood and good food. The food offerings (cannoli, pizza, cheese, hearty pork sandwiches, etc) were delicious & filling delivered with personal stories and love. Both were great in accommodating my bad knee even though we just stayed within a few blocks in the Italian Market area. I wouldn’t recommend the tour for small children but otherwise, the whole group of strangers had a wonderful time together.

The Only Way to Explore Philly's Italian Market - Of the many food tours we've done over the years, this one at Philly's Italian Market was the best. We got a real 'insiders' tour from Jacquie. She grew up in the neighborhood and knows all the history, all the folks who run the restaurants and shops and has plenty of information you simply wouldn't get anywhere else. Everything we ate was excellent and we got to a few shops we probably would not have found on our own. For us, it was a fantastic way to explore an area of Philadelphia we knew nothing about. And, basically, eat lunch. Highly recommend.

Little Italy tour-The best of the best - Chief Jackie was amazing. This was her neighborhood as she knew a lot of people in Little Italy. She was born and raise there. Her pride and the restaurants we visited were outstanding. The food,the company and the knowledge of the area was outstanding. I have done the tour twice and would do it again

Great foodie tour - This was a great tour. We went to so many different places and tried a variety of food. Our tour guide (Jackie) was so knowledgeable about the area having grown up there so she was able to give little anecdotes and seemed to know all the different vendors. She definitely made the experience special. We highly recommend the tour!
