Historic Happy Hour Food Tour in Philadelphia booking from $120.00

Historic Happy Hour Food Tour

Overview

This tour combines two of Philly’s best contributions to the country: its history and its food!

Starting with some favorite hearty snacks, we'll take the edge off with a refreshing local cider (yes, the full pint!). But pace yourself because dining stop #2 isn't far. There, we'll have your munchies satiated with gourmet snacks with loads of toppings, along with a stiff cocktail (yes, the full serving again). Want more? Next stop up is some flavorful Creole with another local beverage before rounding out the tour with a sweet take-home collection from the country's oldest confectionery.

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.

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.

Last night my family and I experienced the Historic Old City Food Tour. Our guide was Kathy, who was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. The places we visited provided us with great food and drinks. As we walked from place to place, Kathy gave us interesting and fun history lessons about Philly. I would highly recommend this tour.
