Our tour guide, Arielle, was so knowledgeable about the South Philly area. Great tour and the Magic Gradens are amazing!
This tour is a must! It was sooo much fun. I don't know if I would have made it a point to go to this part of town on our own without this tour. We met at a good location, near the Italian markets. We received so many food samples, from fresh cheeses, balsamic vinegars and olive oil infusions, house made tortillas, and gelato. The mosaic gardens was very interesting. We actually got to go in the museum, which was really impressive. Nina was our guide and she was fantastic! She took us around charming neighborhoods, down to Penn's Landing briefly, showed us her personal community garden, and gave interesting facts about the city. We ended the tour near Jim's steaks, which is a pretty popular cheesesteak place. I didn't realize how many things we would see or how many food samples we would get. Nina actually sold me on the historic tour offered by the same company that day, which we enjoyed also. This tour exceeded my expectations and I highly recommend.
This was our second tour with Ben. He was fantastic!!! His passion, knowledge, and love for Philly truly shows. The Italian market is so much fun...great people and fantastic food. Super rich in history.
