This is a great tour! Hannah is a wonderful guide. She is knowledgeable, interesting and know the are very well. You will enjoy yourself!
Thank you so much for your great review! Hard to believe that Hannah is still so new to our team - we're extremely lucky to have her as one of our Tour Guides and will be so happy to hear your kind words. We hope to see you back for more of our delicious adventures soon!
We had a great time learning about Passyunk and enjoying the food along our tour. All the food was great but our favorite was the smoked Brisket “cheesesteak” from Mike’s BBQ. We had Stops at Pizzata (great pizza and we got to try a new one they were working on and vote) and Barcelona for Spanish Tapas. We ended at Termini brothers for a brief tour and cannolis. Overall a 5 star event. We defiantly ate more than I expected which was a nice surprise. This is not just a “taste testing” tour. We plan on trying the other tours for sure.
Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you loved the East Passyunk tour. Thrilled to hear it exceeded your expectations. We can't wait to have you back for another foodie adventure soon!
Great information and food! The selection was a very good representation of the east passyunk area. Make sure you let them know about food allergies. Guide was great!
Thank you for joining our East Passyunk tour and for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed both the food and the history of the neighborhood. We always check in with guests for substitutions and are happy to adjust when possible. There were a few extra items added or adjusted on your tour for the dietary limitations and we hope that they were still enjoyable. We’re glad you had a great time overall and would love to have you back for more!
Very enjoyable, fun experience. Our tour guide Cathy was knowledgeable and very friendly. Would definitely recommend this tour.
Thank you for the kind review! We’re so glad you had a fun and enjoyable experience with Kathy. She's been an incredible Guide for our team and we're so glad you were able to experience her tour.
Kathy was very knowledgeable and was a great guide. The food was delicious. A must do while you’re in Philadelphia.
Thanks so much for your kind words! We're thrilled you enjoyed the tour and the delicious food. Kathy is fantastic and we’ll be sure to pass along your compliments. Hope to see you on another foodie adventure with us soon!
My wife and I enjoy Food Tours wherever we travel. Philadelphia is a short trip for us in Delaware so we try to take advantage of what the city offers. This was our first time on the Passyunk Food Tour. The tour was very nice and the places we stopped at sampled the cuisine was awesome. We learned a lot about the area and all the restaurants all around us. I would recommend it to others.
It's so rewarding when we get locals and repeat Philly visitors on our tours because there's always so much to explore and taste in Philly. We're very happy that you enjoyed our East Passyunk food tour and can't wait to have you on another one of our food tours including Chinatown, Historic Happy Hour, or the others. Thank you so much for sharing your great review!
Our guide, Catherine was knowledgeable & friendly. The food was a sampling @ each restaurant,but large enough. I highly recommend this tour. My husband loved his birthday surprise!
Happy birthday to him!! Thank you for sharing part of his birthday weekend on our food tour. We're so glad that you liked it and had a great time with our Guide. We hope to see you again soon - maybe for YOUR birthday this time :)
The food tour was an amazing fun experience as our leader, Cathy, did a great job! We learned a lot about the East Passyunk area while enjoying some great food. Our favorite food item was the cheesesteak from Mike’s which went perfect with a cold beer. Highly recommend this food tour, which ended with dessert from Termini Pastries!
We're so happy to hear that you had a great time on our food tour! Although we pride our cheesesteaks, there is so much more to Philly's delicious resume and our East Passyunk tour explores some of these "off the beaten path" gems. Thanks for your great review!
Whether you’re visiting Philly or live here full-time this is a must do. Well worth the price excellent value. Our tour guide Cathy was A+, she knew so much history of the neighborhood and the restaurants…an all around great experience. Surprisingly I was pretty full at the end.
We are so grateful for your review and that you were able to join us last week. You were actually the first tour to try out our new and improved route for the East Passyunk food tour, and your review is just the reinforcement we needed. Kathy is a rockstar and we are the luckiest to have her on our team. We're so happy you allowed us to be a part of your weekend and hope to see you again soon!
