Good food, good experience - Good tour highlighting foods that are unique and/or special to Philadelphians. Matt was a great guide with a passion for his work. He was able to explain the history of the dishes with some history of Philadelphia. I recommend this tour.

Delicious and informative walking tour of center city Philadelphia - Our guide Owen led a group of 8 including my wife and me. We walked to several places around City Hall, sampling iconic Philadelphia dishes and seeing interesting landmarks. Owen was very knowledgeable and helpful. Highly recommended, we will do more food tours with this company.

Fantastic food tour!! - Adam was our guide for this fantastic food tour! Not only did he give the history of the food we tried he included history of Philadelphia! We tried pizza, pretzels, cheese fries, Philly cheesesteak sandwiches and finished off with 2 great desserts. I highly recommend this tour and start hungry as you will be full at the end of the tour!!

100% take this tour!!! - My daughter and I took this food tour today with Kaitlyn P and it was literally THE BEST food tour we’ve ever taken. Kaitlyn has so much insider knowledge on Philly culture and foods and she makes it fun and interesting too. The food choices were perfect. We loved trying all of it and truly had a blast with the rest of the crew on the tour too- which Kaitlyn facilitated right at the beginning. 10/10 recommendation for this tour, for eating yummy food in Philly, and for having Kaitlyn as our guide! Go birds!!!

Great way to learn about Philadelphia’s history. - Kaitlin P was great through the whole tour. Come in without having breakfast, as you will get appetizers, a full philly cheese sandwich and desserts!
