What are people saying about Reading Terminal Market

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.

Patricia_M, Oct 2026

The Best Tour!

Come hungry! Matt was great!! Learned so much about the history of the market and the stalls. We learned about the wonderful collaboration between merchants.

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.

Heather_C, Oct 2026

Our tour guide was very...

Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and you could feel the passion when he was sharing stories of the market and the different shops. The tour turned into a private group as my sister and I were the only two, which made it more personal and comfortable asking questions. Our tour guide provided us with a pretzel from an Amish stand and it was the best pretzel we had eaten to date. He also provided a sweet treat at the end of the tour. Glad we did the tour first and later we were able to explore the market alone.
