About this experience partner:

City Food Tours opened in Philadelphia in 2007 with the goal to share the pleasure of Philadelphia's incredible food culture. As a locally owned and operated tour company all of the restaurants explored on the tours are hand-picked by people who know the city, inside and out. This helped City Food Tours quickly become a top-rated attraction on TripAdvisor and earn Philadelphia Magazine's "Best of Philly" honor for best tour.

City Food Tours quickly became the top choice for thousands of tourists and locals by sharing the experience of all the unique and delicious flavors of Philadelphia's vibrant food culture. Our company continues to find new ways to remain Philadelphia's premier food tour experience by bringing food and people together. City Food Tours is a proud recipient of TripAdvisor's top 1% of Things to Do worldwide in 2021 and is the official tour operator for Philly's iconic Reading Terminal Market.

Additional Information:

  • Comfortable shoes are recommended, as our food tours are nomadic and seating may not be available throughout the entire duration of the tour.
  • Tours run rain or shine unless under severe circumstances as determined by City Food Tours.
  • Our Tour Guides accept tips, and they are greatly appreciated. Tipping is left up to the individual, but as a general practice, 20% is the common gratuity for service workers.

My husband and I had a great time on this food tour. The food was good and I appreciated that we went to authentic and not "touristy" places. The tour had a good balance of historical information and just walking seeing the sights and eating the food. Adam was great at this! It was also a pretty hot day and Adam did a good job at trying to keep us inside or in shade and having water available. We would definitely recommend the Philly City Food Tours.

We took our City Food Tour with Johnny and it was hands down the best tour we have taken. He was super friendly, knowledgeable, energetic, personable, made sure to make connections with everyone in our group. Since we were not locals, he gave lot of suggestions on things/places to go once the tour was done, and those suggestions did not disappoint either. It was really neat learning more about Philly food and the history behind the city we never knew. Would 100% do this again and suggest everyone to do it as well!

High energy tour with fun different stops to taste. Matt, our guide, was perfect---engaging, informed, gregarious, enthusiastic about the tour, about the places we stopped, and about food generally. Beyond the food we learned about the lore of Philly along the way. As foodies we enjoyed immensely.
