Top Philadelphia Food Tours

Adam was a terrific guide and made the Flavors of Philly Food Tour so much more than just a food tour. He was charming, knowledgeable, and engaging, and I especially enjoyed all the Philly history and practical local knowledge he shared along the way. He explained the layout of the city, including why there’s no First Street (it’s Front Street), how Broad Street fits into the grid, and the story of the supposed “curse” on Philadelphia sports teams after the city began building skyscrapers taller than William Penn atop City Hall. He also shared interesting history about Independence Hall and its restoration. The food was a fun sampling of Philly favorites, including tomato pie, cheese fries, pretzels, a doughnut, and a chocolate chip cookie. Just as importantly, Adam never made the tour feel rushed. He gave us plenty of time at each stop, kept everyone comfortable, and even provided bottles of water. He struck a great balance between food, history, humor, and useful information about the city. Adam was a wonderful ambassador for Philadelphia, and I would highly recommend taking this tour with him.

This tour was very informative and so enjoyable thanks to our guide, Brittni. She shared some little-known facts that really enhanced our experience, and despite the extremely hot temperatures she was super pleasant, patient, and a lot of fun. All of the food items we sampled were excellent, and starting the tour with a warm buttered pretzel from Miller's Twist was amazing! I greatly appreciate that Brittani made some accommodations with the food items because I am a vegetarian. Loved the root beer at McGilin's, and we had a fabulous time at the Reading Terminal Market. Everything was outstanding, and we couldn't have had a more enthusiastic and good-natured guide. Thank you, Brittani, for making our experience extra special!

This is the second city I have done the donut tour with Underground Donut. The guide was knowledgeable about Philly and the donuts were amazing. It was a great experience and I can't wait to go on another tour in the next city. I was the only person on the tour and I was surprised the tour was not canceled. Thank you for doing a tour for one. Highly recommended.
