Historic Happy Hour Food Tour in Philadelphia booking from $99.00

Historic Happy Hour Food Tour

Overview

This tour combines two of Philly’s best contributions to the country: its history and its food! This is enough food for a meal. Come hungry, leave tipsy, and be in-the-know about Philadelphia’s rich history. We’ll serve you food, drinks, sweets, Ben Franklin, the Liberty Bell, and much more! While the foods during the 17th and 18th centuries may have been bland, we’re serving modernized versions of these foods and drinks that would have the colonials jealous. Learn about Philadelphia’s history in the tastiest way possible.

During this tour, I learned so many new things about Philadelphia, and heard a couple good ghost stories too. The places we visited for food/drink were all really nice and the tastings were plentiful and delicious. City Food Tours were serious in the description of the tour when they say to come with an empty stomach. Our guide, Steve, was very knowledgeable of the history of Philadelphia, and was happy to answer all of our questions along the way. My friend (who accompanied me) and I were lucky to have a very nice couple as the other two people in our tour group. It was a lot of fun and by the end of the tour, it felt as if we had spent the evening out with friends. Take this tour, you will love it.

We have done many food tours all over the world and this was my least favorite. The food wasn’t great, the guide read from a paper and it was so rushed. Everyone was leaving half of their beer so we could go to the next stop.

I'm so sorry to hear about this. We are not proud of any of these aspects and will be taking immediate actions to improve our tour and ensure that future guests get the phenomenal experience that we strive for. There was a last-minute change of restaurant for one of the stops on your tour, which we apologize for the unexpected curveball, and we hope that we would have the opportunity to have you on one of our other food tours in the future to see the level of organization, professionalism, and fun that we are known for. Thank you for joining our food tour and sharing your feedback. We're looking forward to addressing these issues and making this tour the absolute best.

This was the worst experience weekend ever had with viator. It almost felt like a scam. Technically it was until someone confirmed we’ve been refunded. I called to confirm the meeting place and was given directions. We arrived but no Tour guide was there. Another couple was there waiting also. I called the numbermultiple times and no one would answer. Finally 30 minutes after the supposed start time I received a call saying that the Tour guide had dropped the bell and that the Tour was canceled. It was really unfortunate as we’d flown up from Charlotte just for the day so we couldn’t even make other arrangements. Later I was contacted by the owner saying he was sorry for the inconvenience and that we’d be refunded by Viator. We shall see.

We are embarrassed by what happened with this tour and sincerely apologize for our scheduling oversight. We always pride ourselves in our professionalism and genuine enjoyment in making sure our guests have a phenomenal time on our tours, but there is no excuse to justify the tour guide's oversight of their schedule. We take our food tours very seriously because we understand that they are something to look forward to and that you had entrusted us to guide your evening. In addition to your full refund, we would be honored to take you on a complimentary tour if you revisit Philadelphia. Since TripAdvisor does not share email addresses, please email us at [email protected] mentioning this conversation with the name from your booking and we will be happy to send you two free tickets to our Historic Happy Hour food tour that you had originally booked. Again, we apologize and are embarrassed, as this has never happened before and hope that you were still able to enjoy some of your time in Philadelphia.
