Robert was the best tour guide. Very knowledgeable, humorous and made everyone feel comfortable. The places we visited were fun. Loved Dibruno's best. I had heard so much about Naked Chocolate that I was a little disappointed we didn't get to taste some of their baked goods or hot chocolate. Liked the coffee guy a lot. Very informative and nice. |

Robert, the tour guide was great. He set a good pace, not too fast or slow. He is very knowledgeable about the area and the food places. The places he chose were great. I would recommend this tour to everyone. |

We attended the Center City Food Lover's Tour last weekend and had a great time! Robert was very knowledgeable and made the tour very fun. It was informal and great to meet all the merchants. This was my second tour with City Food Tours and I'll be back! |

The Center City Food Lovers Tour was fantastic. The samplings were delicious and generous. The descriptions of the various foods were interesting, as well as informative. Robert, our tour guide, made the event even better by periodically rewarding us with treats for correctly answering related trivia. My group has been on several food tours and thought this was one of the best. We are looking forward to doing another. |

DiBruno's is a true gem-- could spend the whole tour within the confines of this eclectic market! |

A wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning in Philly!
Robert, our guide, was energetic, funny and intelligent. The tour incorporated some food history and science, and of course, a lot of tasting. Hey -- don't let the history and science part scare you away; Robert made the "cerebral" portion of the tour very interesting and accessible.
First stop was Di Bruno's and the cheese section of the store. In addition to Robert, we had expert cheese monger Josh elaborate about the three very different kinds of cheeses for sampling (the cheese board was passed around multiple times).
Next, we visited Naked Chocolate for sampling of white, milk and dark pastilles and truffles. The tour ended with freshly brewed and iced coffee at Joe Coffee. At both shops, the owners took time out to talk about their products and answer any questions from the group.
An added bonus during the tour -- As we traveled from shop to shop, Robert pointed out points of architectural interest and provided the group with some Philadelphia history as well.
Two (minor) criticisms: a gelato stop wasn't on the agenda (I thought I had seen it mentioned as part of the trip) and the end of the tour seemed a little rushed.
Despite those things, the tour was excellent, and I would recommend it to anyone who likes food and /or who wants to get to know Philadelphia a little better. |

We enjoyed every aspect of this tour. Our guide, Robert, was as entertaining as he was knowledgeable. It was much more than a tasting; we learned a great deal about provenance, production, and flavor of cheese, chocolate, and coffee. We will definitely take this tour again when we are in the area. |

Fun, interesting and delicious! |

Tour guide was enthusiastic and knowledgeable!
I live in the city and wanted an activity to do with my mother who lives in the suburbs. She was able to enjoy a short walking tour of the city while tasting some of Philadelphia's finest treats. I was introduced to new spots I wouldn't have tried on my own. |
