She loves sharing Philadelphia with our guests, and she'll be so happy to hear your kind words. Thanks again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you back for another Philly food adventure soon!
The tour started out with Adam getting everyone familiar with the rest of the group. I wondered if there would be enough food worth skipping lunch for. All of us left stuffed to the gills and we had to start sharing one portion rather than getting a complete portion each. The food was good. The tour was fun and enlightening.
YAY!! We love sharing our fulfilling foodie adventures and are so happy that you enjoyed the tour and lots of food with us. We're so lucky to have a rockstar like Adam on our team - he's a great example of how our Guides like to personalize each tour and welcome everyone to our delicious city. Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review!!
The tour did not require a whole lot of walking, but we visited a number of great places and Stacey gave us great history and tips. I was traveling solo and it was a fabulous way to take a break from a day of work.
We're so glad that you joined our food tour and appreciate your great review! Hard to believe that Stacy is brand new to leading tours and we're so proud of her natural skills. We're happy to be your fun break from work whenever you'd like, and hope to see you on our other food tours soon. Thanks again!
Stacy was great. Did have trouble hearing and seeing her. A suggestion would be if she had a long wood pile with an animal or flag, or about anything that she could hold up so the group could see where she was. All stops were great!
Thank you very much for your feedback. We appreciate your honesty, as this was Stacy's second tour and we've been working on her volume. But your advice will help ensure that all of her future tours are heard loud and clear. We're very happy you enjoyed everything else otherwise!
It's a fair amount of walking and stairs, so make sure you are up for that - but if you are, it's SO worth it. Been on a lot of food tours in a lot of American cities, and this one leaves you feeling genuinely full at the end. Appreciated how our tour guide Adam sprinkled in some history and spent some time getting to know the group and our interests. Overall it was a great experience, and I highly recommend.
Gotta balance out all that food with some steps! But thank you for your kind words. We're so happy that you enjoyed our food tour and felt fulfilled by the delicious servings and Adam's way of leading the experience. Thank you for including us in your weekend plans. We hope to have you back for more soon!
