Unfortunately the tour we signed for wasn't available so it was changed to the "gourmet", later, option. Which coincided with rain. OK, we're flexible. BUT it was a lot of crowding into the market (initially) and standing around, one gal left from physical limitations (which she'd mentioned at least twice before standing around). The first "gourmet" taste was cheese curds and corn dog (better known as a mouth full of salty cholesterol). We all joked that it had to improve. Tour guide very rushed, but friendly atmosphere. Next taste was middle eastern, actually quite good. Next was moon pie. At that point the rain is lighter and we run for cheeses. Ended with dessert, which after walking in the wet was fine. "Meh" overall rating. It's fine if you're hungry or not well versed in food, but if you're a foodie, skip it.

I'm so sorry that this was your experience. There is so much that we want to squeeze into our tour, and spending the first hour in the Reading Terminal Market does require guests to be on their feet for that long, which we try to be sensitive of and keep our tour moving along. My apologies if this felt rushed. The rain can definitely affect the experience too, but I'm glad to see that you still liked most of the foods and enjoyed our Tour Guide's friendliness. Thank you again for your flexibility in joining that later food tour and for providing us with the ability to hear your feedback. We will take your notes and strive to improve so that our food tour becomes the best that it can be.
