Scrumptious and a nice eclectic mix of food! We got to sample all of the places and foods that are unique to Philly, including cheesesteaks and Whoopie pie but also israeli food and great pizza. Adam was an informative and helpful guide, especially since we had our dog tagging along with us.

Thank you for joining us! Pets are always welcome on our tour, though they cannot enter many of the indoor spaces that we visit. But our guides are more than happy to accommodate our furry guests!

We had a wonderful afternoon with Nina in Philadelphia! Although we are quite familiar with the city and have been to many of it's fantastic restaurants, Nina was able to introduce us to some new dining spots - namely Dizengoff, Goldies, & SNAP Pizza - which all happen to be on the same block and were all fantastic. We also had additional food at the Reading Terminal Market - everything is good. All portions were very generous - much larger than some of the tiny bites I have had on other food tours. We decided to pace ourselves with the food and ended up with a decent sized bag of leftovers - enough for a late night snack or tomorrows lunch for both of us! Nina is a wealth of knowledge about food and the city of Philadelphia. She showed us some sculptures that we had never seen and shared detailed histories of several buildings. It was a delicious and informative couple of hours and would not hesitate to recommend the tour and especially Nina t anyone interested in the food and history of Philadelphia. I will definitely be bring any visitors on future tours with her. Thanks Nina!

Had a great time. The tour guide, Dick, was great. Very knowledgeable, focus was definitely on food but also learned interesting tidbits here and there about history and public art. Avoided overly touristy spots but covered all the Philly essentials. Recommended

Our food tour is not just about food (although that's a big part of it of course). In addition to delicious bites, you also get to hear about the amazing history of Center City Philly, view breathtaking pieces of architecture, and pick the brain of a local guide who has an incredibly deep passion for all things Philadelphia.
