If you are looking for something fun to do for a couple of hours that involves food sampling while digesting fun facts about the history of Philadelphia at the same time, then this is the tour for you.
This tour is great for both tourists and natives, and does involve some modest walking. But you do taste a little bit of everything Philly - from terrific tomato pie, to delicious, warm pretzels (although my mother did not like standing on the sidewalk while we ate them), to a small section of a Philly cheesesteak and a savory, fresh hoagie to a few pieces of chocolate to the thickest chocolate chip cookie I have ever tasted.
Special thanks to our outrageously entertaining and wildly knowledgeable guide, Mike.
Buono appetito! |

This is not a gourmet tasting tour, but includes the highlights of specialties of Philadelphia (soft pretzels, tomato pie, hoagie, cheese steak, cookies, chocolates). Coupling the history of these foods in Philadelphia and other key historical facts makes this an especially delightful, pleasing and fun tour. Recommended for all ages. |

This tour is a great way to spend an afternoon...just the right balance of Philadelphia history, culture, and food. Come with an empty stomach, because the food is plentiful and very indulgent. |

We had a lot of fun learning more about the food in Philly. We tried some good things and learned a lot. The tour was accommodating to different food allergies and vegetarians. |

We all enjoyed Michael Williams, his enthusiasm, and his wealth of knowledge about the area as well as about the food. We are still talking about the tomato pie; that was a new one for all of us. Thanks. |

Nice way to spend a couple of hours in central Philly. Food samples were excellent, and one should definitely NOT eat prior! :) History narrative was fine. Not as outstanding as tours in Manhattan, but much better than the one I attended in San Francisco. |
