My husband, friends and I live in the area, and thought it would be fun to travel our own city. Matt was the perfect guide, sharing interesting facts about the foods we ate, establishments we frequented, and rich history of our city. Highly recommend whether you are from Philly or experiencing the city for the first time!

We had a great time with my parents (70s) and children (2yrs and 4 months) Our guide Steve was great and got us through the crowds on a busy weekend.

We had a fantastic time on the Decadent Gourmet Tour! The food we tasted was delicious, and it was a great variety snacks, cheese tasting and desserts. The Reading Market and Center City were fun locations to stroll around. Steve was a wonderful guide. He was enthusiastic and knowledgeable about both the food and the local history and culture. Thanks for a great time!

We are so happy that you joined our Decadent Gourmet tour with Steve and enjoyed it! Philly has so many delicious eats to taste beyond the cheesesteak and we're glad you found our balance of food, history, and other cultural aspects of the tour fulfilling. We hope to see you again soon!

The food choices were absolutely delicious! Especially the cheese selections (I strongly recommend buying yourself a glass of wine when you get to this location, and also taking advantage of the shopping downstairs!) other standouts were the Mediterranean food samplings, the cheese curds, and the desserts. Steve, our outstanding tour guide, was informative and friendly all throughout the tour. we learned a lot about cheese and also architecture and history in Philadelphia. The store is probably not for people who are looking to try cheese steaks! My only suggestion would be to exit Reading Terminal Market Via the main street rather than the tunnel, due to some unappetizing aromas outside.

You just made our day! We love hearing about our guests' spectacular times on our food tours and are so glad that you chose us to be part of your day. Point taken about the scene surrounding some areas of the Reading Terminal Market - some days are better than others, but we certainly hope that any sights did not spoil your appetite and that we get to see you on another one of our food tours again soon!

The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. We enjoyed him and the tour. The only downside (which was not his fault), was when booking, they told me they spoke to the guide about having 2 people with gluten issues and there would be accommodations made. The guide knew nothing about it. He did his best, but two members went without nearly half the food items. We all still enjoyed it despite the cold weather.

Mary Ann was great! This is more than a food tour! She gives you a lot of interesting information on the city and its architecture.
