Three way tie: delicious food, superb hostess in Nina, and a great introduction to Philadelphia architecture. Surprise on food: chocolate tahini shake! I was skeptical, but it was delicious, a shake with no dairy yet all the taste; Nina was special in her introduction of all the Philadelphia food options, 6 stops by my count; and our stop at the Collins Park was a fine introduction to the history of the Central city.

The tahini shake is amazing!! Usually people are hesitant but are always pleasantly surprised. That is what our food tour is all about...trying some classics but also innovative twists that may sound unusual but end up being delicious. Thank you for joining us and for leaving this review!

Chuck was awesome! It really felt as if a friend that knew too much about Philly history was giving the tour instead of a guide I've never met before. It was very informative, very personable, and my wife and I tried a wide variety of food that we weren't expecting we'd have.

Thank you for leaving this wonderful review! Food tours are a great way to learn about the city, because not only do you get amazing food, but also hear about the history and culture of the area. And you definitely get that with our food tours.
