What are people saying about Philadelphia Italian Market

Robin_F, Jul 2026

Great food tour in a great neighborhood!

We went on 4 different tours this week with our teenage grandson who was visiting us from California. This one was the best and all 3 of us enjoyed it. The food was great and so was Jackie who kept everyone engaged throughout the tour.

Michael_R, Jul 2026

Great Food Tour

This felt like it was a travel back in time to the 1940’s and 50’s with the street vendors and window display at the butcher shops. Definitely feel the “old neighborhood “ vibe. Jackie was great. Lots of energy and stories having lived in the neighborhood her whole life.

Great experience - highly recommend!

Alma was a wonderful tour guide. She grew up in the neighborhood and her family owns many of the businesses, so she knows everyone and knows the history of the market very well. Plus she is super personable. Note: The name of the tour seems to be "Chef-led tour" - ALma isn't a chef but I believe another tour guide is a chef.

Philly Food

Matea was a fantastic tour guide with great information. Never felt rushed during this tour. The stops we made all were outstanding

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.
