This helped me get my bearings in the market and perfect amount of snacks for the time (~45 mins.). I was able to go back later on my own and had a better sense of what I wanted to get on the follow-up visit.

This makes us so happy! The Reading Terminal Market can be a bit overwhelming (especially for newcomers), and it is an honor being their official tour team to share the "behind the scenes" history, merchants, and flavors that make up the Market. Thank you so much for your great review. We hope you continue to return to the Market and enjoy it again and again :)
