Alex was fun and very enthusiastic about the food and the fun facts he shared were interesting. I didn’t really have any expectations but all the food we tried was delicious and I enjoyed learning the history that went with it. Highly recommend!

Sooo good! Wish we’d done this our first day in Philadelphia. We tried several new dishes we never would have thought to order before, and our guide,Adam, did a wonderful job telling us about not only the history behind the food and restaurant choices but also the revitalization of the city itself. He even convinced our picky teen eater to try several new dishes.

Thank you for joining us on our Best of Philly food tour! The great thing about a food tour is trying new dishes, even ones you don't think you will like, because chances are you will be pleasantly surprised. Also, the history and culture of Philly is a vital part of our food tour. Philly has changed a lot over the years, and food is a BIG reason why.
