Traveler reviews
South Philly food tour
Nice sites selected to visit Nice general interest shared about the sites Pleasant/fridnely guide Would have liked if sites gave small free samples (a single cookie, for example).
Informative and Enjoyable
Our guide for the tour was Kenzie. He arrived early to meet us and was well prepared. He had a binder with images for the different stops. You decide what food you want to purchase on the tour. (This worked well for the picky eater in the family.) I felt that we definitely learned about the history of both the area and the individual establishments.
Great Tour!
The tour was wonderful. We got great insight into the history of the area, and the spots that were highlighted were wonderful and delicious. Our guide was really knowledgeable and awesome.
A Fun, interesting, friendly, yummy tour.
Our tour leader was great, so friendly and so knowledgeable about the area. We liked the many pictures he had of the people who owned some of the well known places. We never felt rushed and liked the way we went into different places. It was a fun interesting tour and We look forward to more tours in the Philadelphia area.
Ok tour
The walking tour was interesting. We had difficulty determining the meeting spot for the tour. We really wanted to experience samples, not buy things at the spots we visited. If I’d known more about this tour, I’d have selected a different tour where you eat.
