| We really enjoyed our recent Center City tour. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and the places we visited were great! I would recommend it to friends who have an interest in food and finding out about how things are made, where they come from and how to best enjoy them. It's a great way to spend an afternoon walking and sampling various foods and beverages. We really loved the Naked Chocolate Cafe! |

| I really enjoyed the easy-going, casual and friendly feel of this tour. When we walked in to Joe's Coffee, we were met by warm greetings and made to feel right at home, which is important to a group from out-of-town. Our guides, Robert and Eric, were funny, informed, and interesting. On our walks to the next stop, we learned a little about places we were passing - always welcome to history buffs! The Naked Chocolate shop and Di Bruno's were excellent choices for their delicious samples and informative narrative. Thank you for accommodating the 3 generations in our group! We hope to take another tour on our next trip to Philadelphia! |

| My husband and two of our friends (another married couple) participated in this tour last Saturday. It focused on teas, chocolate & cheeses ... an amazingly decadent afternoon!
It also provided us with interesting history & information about each one ... we all learned something! Our guide Eric was extremely knowledgeable, very friendly and did a great job of keeping us engaged and entertained. Eric also noted various Philadelphia architectural points of interest along the tour which was a nice touch as well.
A great way to satisfy your tastebuds and your culinary intellect in one 2.5 hour tour!
I highly recommend this to locals & tourists alike. In fact, we are planning on hiring Center City Food Tours to custom design a tour for a group of our friends in the future. |

| A great way to not only spend some time together on a unique date but also to discover some of my city's best treasures. As a foodie, I was expecially thrilled by the experience of meeting the proprietors/experts. Our guide was hysterical, thoroughly knowledgeable and great at facilitating interaction in our group, which was made up of mostly couples who did not know each other. Sign me up for another as soon as possible! |

| Was roped into this by my wife and really had a great time. Our guide was funny, the tasting was hearty and, even though I am admittedly a "PB&J" kind of cook, I learned a lot. It was a great date, got us downtown for a few hours and introduced us to some cool spots. We will definitely do this again. |

Extremely enjoyable and well worth it!

| I stumbled upon the website for City Foods and am I ever glad I did! This was a first rate experience. My "group" only consisted of me and a friend, but instead of cancelling, the show went on....Our guides, Rob and Jose were extremely knowledgeable and personable. If you want the "insider's" perspective on where the "foodies" hang out in Philly, this is the tour for you.
Initially I was concerned about the 2 1/2 hour time frame on a cold February evening, but later discovered that applies to the length of time and not the amount of walking.
This is a great idea and I would recommend it highly. I plan to go back to some of the places we went to and would certainly book another tour again. |

| An excellent way to spend a few hours.
Tour guides are local and know the city and its history so in addition to learning about your scheduled stops, they offer other areas and places to visit as well.
Gives the history and current processing information about teas, chocolates, and cheeses, without the bordom.
Great for a date or if you are just curious to try something new and different.
Tour guides are very personable and you get the sense they want to be there as well. |
