Guide was excellent. His personal experience and stories sold the experience for me. Will be interested in doing this again

Eh. The guide, Adam, was wonderful. And I enjoyed his history and other info. Tour is a bit over priced, plus parking costs $40 in all the area decks, no street parking within about a mile. But glad I did it.

We are very pleased to hear that you had fun with the Tour Guide and are happy that you enjoyed our tour. But we appreciate your feedback. We do pride ourselves in being more affordable than other food tours in Philly and nationwide, but certainly understand the implications of costs. Being in a major city, parking is not as easy as other areas, but we are still happy to hear that everything else was enjoyable for you. Thanks again for this feedback.

Reviewers named Ironj0e and LuvMCO have already expressed my precise sentiments, so search their usernames and read their reviews. The bottom line is that the food on this tour was awful. We even went to a chain pretzel store called Philly Pretzel Factory that I could get in NY. The tour might as well have taken us to Subway to eat a hoagie or Pizza Hut for a slice. How this tour gets so many 5 star reviews is a great mystery.

I'm sorry to hear that this one stop on our tour weighed this negatively on everything else. Although it is available elsewhere, our pretzels have a major history in Philadelphia and there's a story behind that stop on our tour. We hope you still enjoyed the other food stops and landmarks that we included on our tour too.
