Great way to see the TRUE NYC.
Sat, Sep 5  11:00 AM roinoir Unspecified 20-29 Unspecified Couple on a Date
First of all, awesome tour guides. Our guide was not only informative, she was very friendly, and not the "I want your money" friendly. She had an understanding of the locales we visited as well as the city in general. The locations visited were fantastic! Going to locations that were featured in the show was really cool, and tasting what the chefs tasted really brought it close. Along the way to "scheduled" stops, there are many detours to take. I suggest to any who do these tours to take some extra cash and to just buy some of the snack you see in other stores. Its a great way to try out NYC. Over all, AWESOME. I am telling all my friends and family about this tour. Great Job guys! Kevin and Stef from Cali.

Excellent Tour

Had a great time. Our tour guide was very personable and very knowledgeable. Lots of food to try. Thought it was odd getting a NYC bagel at a Ukrainian restaurant. Thought it would have been better to have a pierogie instead. Small suggestion - but would highly recommend this tour.

The tour was fun. It offered several insider tips about the show and getting to meet one of the stars at her restaurant was the highlight!

This tour was a lot of fun. We took the cheese, chocolate and gelato tour. The guide was great, very knowledgeable and made it all fun. The food was delicious and I tried things I never would have tried on my own. I would go back anytime and highly recommend this tour.

Not for foodies or Philadelphians
Center City Food Lovers Adventure in Philly
Sat, Jan 24  3:00 PM lilrozin Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified Unspecified
Although our guide was very friendly and well-intentioned, this tour was a big disappointment. When I think of a food tour, I imagine: 1) visiting a lot of places, 2) discovering places I have never encountered before, and 3) eating a lot. None of these were true of this tour. We visited only three places, none of which was unusual, outstanding, or particularly unique. And, very little food was offered (unless you want to pay extra for it!). One should not go home hungry after a food tour!!! The three establishments (a candy store, a deli with some cheeses, and a coffee shop) were unremarkable. The chocolate shop had exactly what one imagines in a chocolate shop and nothing more and nothing interesting. Give me some truffles with cardamom or chocolate bark with blood orange peel. No, instead it was all vanilla buttercreams. The cheeses at the cheese shop were fine but ordinary: gouda, stilton, cheddar, and brie. And I don't drink coffee! Beyond all of this, most of the time on the tour was dedicated to 1) listening to lectures about how chocolate, cheese, and coffee are made (I can read about this on my own time) and 2) allowing us to buy stuff at the stores. What a waste! The same time at Reading terminal or DiBruno's would have been much better. As a native Philadelphian, one does not learn anything new on this tour.

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!

nice time

Laurie took us to some hidden gems, places we would never have found on our own. We enjoyed listening to how coffee beans are selected, cheese is made etc. It was really fun and our guide was especially friendly and accommodating. I would suggest just a couple of things to improve the tour to a level of excellence. First of all, it would be great if we got some information from the proprietors of the local businesses that we visited...about the product, how it's made, what to look for etc. Some of the owners/employees spoke with us but not all. I would have loved to learn more about how the pizza was made - the owners etc. Second, tour should definitely include more information about the location as we walked from one destination to the other. We passed some old dilapidated buildings (one was a synagogue), some facts about the rise of real estate in the area, and point out some significant historical sights. I did a food tour in Chicago and i loved it was a history lecture and a food tour at the same time. Overall, it was fun.

I've lived in NY my whole life, and loved this. There were good size samples from the places we went to. I expected a little more history of the area, but it didnt matter. We had a blast. Cant wait to do the other tours!

I had a really good time on the Top Chef tour. Nicole, the guide, was fun and knowledgeable. We got a good overview of several different neighborhoods in downtown Manhattan. The tour made some great connections to the show, but was also fun for people interested in food and NYC. I particularly enjoyed walking through Chinatown and learning about the markets on Grand Street. And, of course, the cheese at DiPalo's! All in all it was a totally worthwhile experience.

My wife and her best friend had a great time learning about the various nationalities that lived in the area and the food that they brought with them. Even though I work in the area our guide, Clarissa, even taught me a few things. She was both insightful and entertaing at the same time. All the food was delicious!!

The tour was great! The guide was enthusiastic, the food was wonderful and we learned something new at each stop. The mixture of information about Topchef, food in general and dining in the city made the whole tour very enjoyable.

Fun, informative, and pretty darn tasty!

I loooooooved this tour - it gave a great overview of downtown's diverse ethnic and cultural food culture while highlighting places, events, and challenges that are on Top Chef. Even though I've never actually seen the show, I really enjoyed the way our brilliant tourguide wove together the stories of top chef with the stories of NYC's food culture! This is a great tour for out of town guests, because you get a solid introduction to the NYC's cultural history. Also, the cooking tip sheets were really helpful as was the knife lesson! Plus you get to EAT! lots of tastes at lots of places!
