Dont miss the food tour! - Kelly did a great job! She really knows the city,the food was good, and the tour of Del Friscos was the icing on the doughnut. She interejected a lot of interesting history into the tour, and we tried tomato pie, soft pretzels, Philly cheesesteak, cheez fries, a doughnut and a cookie,so I was full too!

Tasty Flavors of Philly - My wife and I enjoy doing the Food Tours. We have been on several in the Philadelphia area alone. We recently did the Taste of Philly Tour. We met Adam and the other participants and set out on our adventure. We learned the history of the pretzel and tomato pie, tasted several foods that Philadelphia is known for, and visited several sites in Center City. This is a fun Food Tour and surprizingly, we did not feel full after it was over. The tour ended at the Reading Market, where we sampled a Chocolate Chip Cookie and a doughnut. Take this tour, get some exercise walking around, and eat well. Nothing but fun.

Energetic host and good food - Steve was very energetic and attentive to the group's needs and questions. The food we were served was great. It may have been nice to see how some of it was prepared or perhaps a little more diversity of dishes.
