| As we walk around Phila. & take in the sights, we also get a bit of a history tour
of the neighborhoods we walked through. Old town Phila. is such a nice area.
Without this tour we may never have seen it. We really enjoyed going to some
local stops for some wonderful treats, versus the commercial type places. Of course
it is difficult not to want to buy everything you see or taste. We made some great
purchases or things we had never had, which is always fun. You will really enjoy
your tour, we promise. Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes. Your
tour guide Eric is excellent. |

| We totally enjoyed the tour. Our guide Robert was very informative and made this a day we will be talking about for a long time. We are looking forward to other tours. This is just another reason to travel to Philly. Thank you very much. |

| My husband and I are the type who watch Discovery, Food TV, History Channel, etc., so we enjoyed hearing all about the history and the making of the items we sampled. The only downside was that it seemed to go by very quickly. The website gave me the impression we would be visiting all of the places they had listed. I think adding at least one more stop on the tour would make it much more worth the trip. |

Fun event, but expensive for what you get

| I attended this event with a friend who had participated in a tour from a competing business in NYC last summer. Based on her experience we expected to be well fed--we were not. The information on the cheese portion of the tour was great, but I have to say, the sliver of the three cheese samples that we received were not even close to adequate for the price of the tour. I could have gotten more samples by asking the cheesemongers to try them myself. The chocolate portion was interesting and we received more samples, but most were pre-mixed samples, and not the final artisinal product. Again, a big disappointment, and unusual, especially if a goal is to get people to buy from the chocolate shop. The person conducting the tour was fun and interesting, but I feel that for the price I should have gotten more. On the tour with the other company--for the same price--my friend tried two pieces of pizza, cheese, breads, entire desserts, and coupons for the stores and restaurants they visited. Since I know how cheese and chocolate are made, I was more interested in tasting and seeing what the local businesses are doing...what makes their products special. I think my expectations were different than what I received. Finally, when asking the presenter for restaurant recommendations, I was surprised that he was not very enthusiastic about sharing what he knew about the local scene. We had asked about a specific restaurant and he did not have much to say about it. He simply mentioned a couple places where he had eaten recently. As a foodie, I expected more information about the local food scene. So.. for someone looking to pass a couple hours walking around the city, I'd say it was okay. But if you want to really sample the local food scene, I would find another business. |

| I think the Center City Food Tours are great! Eric & Robert are fun, entertaining and knowlegeable.
Now that I have been on 2 tours, I can say that I prefer the T-bar stop on the tour to the Joe's Coffee stop since (a) I don't care for coffee very much and (b) the history/background of coffee & chocolate are a bit similar so the tea stop keeps it a bit varied as far as the explanations of history/background.
I definitely recommend these tours! |
