| I signed up for the tour as a surprise for my husband for Valentine's Day. It was fun, romantic and delicious! Our leaders were extremely well organized, knowledgeable and lots of fun. They made everyone in the group feel like a part of things. We would definitely go on their other tours in the future. |

| We took a couple visiting us from Connecticut to the Philadelphia Foods Tour on Sunday, February 17th. The whole thing was FANTASTIC and we cannot wait to go again on one of the other tours.
We took the "Chocolate & Gourmet" tour which included gelatto, chocolate and cheese. The guides were very professional and knowledgeable. They were also very well prepared with laminated pictures and information about the processes of making all three of the foods.
Included in the tour was tasting at each venue - and it was generous tasting, not just a tiny piece. We all learned so much about the types of products that we tasted as well as about what makes each item high quality or poor quality. Seeing the difference was amazing.
I have already recommended it to many friends and will definitely go again.
Thank you! |

| The tour was just about perfect. Being from Philly and somewhat dissappointed in how the city is run this tour is an EXCELLENT marketing tool for the city. It was a perfect blend of history, getting a feel for a city, trying and learning about the different foods. The guide is funny and very knowledgeable. I have already recommended to a lot of my coworkers and freinds in DC. REally glad to see this type of thing in Philly. |

| Whether you go as a single, couple, or group you are sure to have fun on this informative and fun adventure. The host is very friendly and quickly sets the tone for the afternoon. From there you learn a little bit about the foods you are trying and then the treats are served. Overall, this was a great experience and definitely worth going to. |

| I went on the food lovers tour with my girlfriend and I recommend it to anyone that wants to spend a nice afternoon. The cost is about the same as a nice dinner, but we tried several things and more importantly, learned something!
The service was excellent, nothing to complain about at all. Very knowledgeable people at the stops as well as the tour guide. |

| I took the Philadelphia Food Lovers Tour headed by our knowledgeable and friendly guide Robert. It was an afternoon filled with delectable, tasty treats and also some fun and informative lectures. First we visited Capo Giro, a lovely center city gelateria that is quickly becoming a center city mainstay. There we put our taste buds to the test by participating in a blind taste test of that mornings fresh made batches of gelato. Next we walked over to Teuscher's Chocolate where we sampled some of the finest Swiss chocolate. Including their champagne truffles made with scrumptiously smooth chocolate and Dom Perignon. We ended the tour at Philly's famed DiBruno Bros. where a cheese monger gave us a lengthy lecture punctuated by lots of samples of their most delicious cheeses. It was a highly enjoyable afternoon and I would recommend this tour to anyone who likes the finer things in life! |

| I scheduled this as a surprise for my husband one afternoon. I was looking for an activity that would be different from our normal sunday afternoons and was not expensive. This exceeded my expectations! The tour guides were friendly and entertaining. They could do a little better in crowd management but overall we enjoyed their company. The three stops on the tour were fun. We had actually been to all 3 but it was great to hear someone educated talk about the products. We particularly enjoyed one stop (cheese) because the representative was extremely knowledgeable and a good salesman. I would like to see the company expand their options a bit in the future - a philadelphia cheese steak tour would be fun! Or how about doing charcuterie in the Italian Market? There's also opportunities to partner with area restaurants and do tastings at say Caribbean restaurants on South Street. My suggestions aside, Center-City Food Lovers did a really nice job and I highly recommend this! |

| I highly recommend City Food Tours to anyone who has an appreciation of food, culinary traditions, or even just of walking cities. The tour leader, Robert, was witty and informative, very knowledgeable, and a charming guide to the city. In addition, the locations selected for the tour (Capogiro Gelato, Teuser Chocolates, and DiBruno Bros) were excellent and very gracious to provide samples. |

| I was delighted to attend the City Food Tour in Philadelphia. The guide Robert Weinberg was highly knowledgeable and entertaining. Robert made the whole group feel as though we were one big family. The tour was not only informative but also fun. The venues selected were amazing: artisan gelato, Swiss chocolate and artisan cheese! I'm strongly recommending this tour to my friends and family. |
