Susan_D, Sep 2026

Go Hungry! You Won't Be Disappointed.

I was so impressed by the Reading Terminal Market. My husband and I were the only ones on the tour so it was almost like a private tour. I was happy it was not cancelled due to nobody else booking it. Matt was so good. Very informative and very friendly. Very impressive market.

Melinda_P, Jul 2026

Great Introductory Tour of the Market!

Great tour with Matt. This tour helps you overcome the overwhelming feeling you get when you walk in the door. Now can easily explore the market by ourselves.

Reading Terminal Market

Mr. Matt really showed that he enjoys doing what he does. I found it excellent that he was on a first name basis with several people. He explained how they work together. He explained the pride some of the businesses had because they were passed down from the previous generation. My favorite places were Beck’s Cajun and Ma Lessie. I would definitely recommend this tour!

Danielle_B, Mar 2026

A Must Do
