During this tour, I learned so many new things about Philadelphia, and heard a couple good ghost stories too. The places we visited for food/drink were all really nice and the tastings were plentiful and delicious. City Food Tours were serious in the description of the tour when they say to come with an empty stomach. Our guide, Steve, was very knowledgeable of the history of Philadelphia, and was happy to answer all of our questions along the way. My friend (who accompanied me) and I were lucky to have a very nice couple as the other two people in our tour group. It was a lot of fun and by the end of the tour, it felt as if we had spent the evening out with friends. Take this tour, you will love it.

We have done many food tours all over the world and this was my least favorite. The food wasn’t great, the guide read from a paper and it was so rushed. Everyone was leaving half of their beer so we could go to the next stop.

This was the worst experience weekend ever had with viator. It almost felt like a scam. Technically it was until someone confirmed we’ve been refunded. I called to confirm the meeting place and was given directions. We arrived but no Tour guide was there. Another couple was there waiting also. I called the numbermultiple times and no one would answer. Finally 30 minutes after the supposed start time I received a call saying that the Tour guide had dropped the bell and that the Tour was canceled. It was really unfortunate as we’d flown up from Charlotte just for the day so we couldn’t even make other arrangements. Later I was contacted by the owner saying he was sorry for the inconvenience and that we’d be refunded by Viator. We shall see.

Last night my family and I experienced the Historic Old City Food Tour. Our guide was Kathy, who was fantastic! She was knowledgeable, friendly, and fun. The places we visited provided us with great food and drinks. As we walked from place to place, Kathy gave us interesting and fun history lessons about Philly. I would highly recommend this tour.
