Lavonna_D, May 2026

Ate our way through the Italian Market

Wonderful tour through the Italian Market. Alma was a wonderful guide, having grown up right there! We tasted great cheese at the Bruno brothers, balsamic vinegar and infused olive oil, hand pulled mozzarella balls at a deli, chips and guacamole, an amazing pork sandwich at Paesanos and delicious cannoli at Isgro’s. So much fun and great stories.

Philadelphia's Italian Market Food Tour

James_D, Apr 2026

Excellent Philadelphia Food Tour!!

This tour of the Philadelphia "Italian" Market was eye-opening and wonderful. Our guide Barry was a fountain of information and led us through the streets explaining the deep history of the area, including the beautiful mosaics on so many buildings in the area created by a local artist. These were so breathtaking. Another fun fact was the amount of murals painted on the neighborhood buildings, all by local groups of citizens and youngsters. We learned so much about the culture of the area, and sampled many local delicious staples including Bin Mi pork and chicken sandwiches (Vietnamese) and tomato pie. Barry was a very good leader and teacher, and made this tour very enjoyable.

2.5 Hour Philadelphia History Tour with Washington War Tent Show

Steven_W, Nov 2025

A Great Day Exploring Philadelphia's History

Our tour of Philadelphia was wonderful and gave us a meaningful look at the foundations of American history. We visited Independence Hall, Franklin Court, Benjamin Franklin's grave, the first and second Bank of the United States, the meeting place of the First Continental Congress and the Museum of the American Revolution. Each stop added depth to the story of how the nation began and helped us appreciate the vision and courage of the people who shaped it. Our guide Tom made the experience even better. He was excellent, very animated and truly knowledgeable about every place we visited. His enthusiasm helped bring each landmark to life and made the tour engaging from start to finish. We walked away with a stronger understanding of the city and a greater appreciation for the history behind it thanks to Tom.

Secret Bars and Favorite Spots Walking Tour in Philadelphia

They will show you a good time

I booked this tour during a business trip to Philly. Congrats to me, what a great idea! I met my guide, George, on the street near the first stop. He informed me that his other guests had canceled, so I was going to get a private tour. Woooo! What a night! I definitely experienced some bars I’d likely never had discovered on my own. George and I talked all night about drinking, life, and love. Thanks for a fabulous evening!

The Ghosts of Philadelphia Tour

Claire Brought the Ghost Stories to Life

We went on a ghost tour last night with Claire, and it was such a memorable experience! Our group of four joined with another group of young adults, and Claire kept everyone engaged the whole time. She is a wonderful storyteller. Her use of vocal variety really pulled us in—sometimes lowering her voice so you leaned in closer, other times raising it just enough to cut through the sounds of fireworks and emergency vehicles that happened to pass by during our tour. No matter the distractions, we could always hear her clearly. Claire shared plenty of history along with the ghostly tales, which made the experience even richer. She also introduced us to a ghost app, which added a fun interactive twist. What we appreciated most was that she wasn’t over-the-top or cheesy; she kept the spooky theme alive while still grounding everything in the fascinating history of the city. Overall, Claire made the tour both entertaining and educational, and I’d definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Philadelphia!

Fun exploring food in Philly

My 17-year old son and I enjoyed getting to taste the different foods included on this tour, along with learning about some of the history and culture of the area around the Reading Market. The tour guide was knowledgeable, entertaining and enthusiastic about sharing the foods and the city of Philadelphia. Definitely come hungry because this tour provides full-size samples of some delicious and filling food! The pretzel cheesesteaks were unique and very good, and super filling. I love booking food tours when I visit a new city, and this tour was definitely a winner.
