Perfect way to spend the day! - We had an absolute blast on the Italian Market food tour! Meg was a fabulous guide, with an extensive knowledge of the history and culture of the area, as well as the amazing food options! The stops were perfectly spaced out, the foods we tried were stellar, and all of Meg's recommendations were on point. Would 100% recommend this to anyone looking to eat some fabulous foods, and learn more about the Italian market!

Italian Market Tour - Barry was FANTASTIC! This tour was more than I could’ve hoped for. Not only did we try and experience the delicacies of the italian market, but Barry also engaged us with other cuisines too. This tour is definitely worth it, whether you’ve lived in Philly for years, or you just are visiting.
