Highly Recommend! - Jackie was an amazing tour guide. Her knowledge, personality, and taste in local food was spot on! She also easily accomodated for food allergies.

Amazing - Was so much better than we even expected. Chef Jacquie was amazing. So much knowledge of the area, the history, the food with little tips here and there. If you're on the fence, do it!!

Chef Jacquie is awesome! - Really great tour, mix of food and history. Thank goodness we did some walking, because we definitely did some eating! Including one of the best sandwiches I've ever had. Chef Jacquie was a great host, very considerate and knowledgeable. I went back to one of the shops later and the folks there were singing her praises, saying they don't put together sample trays for other groups, she's special. Nice people on the tour, good for a solo traveler.

Great food at the Italian Market! - Fantastic food tour! Delicious sampling of the best roast pork sandwich (Paesano’s) and cannoli (Isgro’s) I’ve ever had (I’m a Philly native). Chef Jackie knows everyone and she did a great job with giving us a history of the Italian market as well as recommendations on where to eat and things to buy. She gave us plenty of time to wander and look inside some of the shops, as well as walk us through the neighborhoods and an alley with mosaic wall art. Jackie is very outgoing and friendly, and engaged each family member to make sure we were happy and having a good time and had enough to eat. Definitely recommend this tour!

Food, family and fun with Chef Jacquie! - Chef Jacquie was fantastic! She immediately made us all feel like an extension of her (and the community's) family! All our stops were fun, informative...and DELICIOUS! The duration was perfect...allowing for additional exploration on our own. We had six adults in our family tour and we all had a great time!

A delicious 2 hours - First, I love doing food tours. This one did not disappoint. We tried cheeses, nuts, and meats to start and then on to do vinegar and oil tasting. Next delicious sandwiches, followed by some fresh fruit. All the while we learned about the neighborhood from a local. We viewed some great murals. We finished with a cheese under the sauce pizza. Wow, I am going to try to recreate that one. Ended with a sweet treat. We had a small group and a great time.

A great way to spend a few hours - Really enjoyed learning not only about the variety of food, but also about the history of Little Italy from someone who had lived it and knew all about the food as a chef as well!

Great way to see and taste the Italian market in Philky - We took this tour with friends this weekend and had a fabulous time. Jacqui, unfortunately, was ill so her colleague stepped in and did a wonderful job. She gave us some interesting facts about the culture, the food and the neighborhood considered the Italian market area of Philly. Highly recommended!

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!
