The guide named Steve has a complete knowledge of the city including the sites and restaurants. Also the food and drinks were excellent! We love this!

This tour combines two of Philly’s best contributions to the country: its history and its food! Starting with some favorite hearty snacks, we'll take the edge off with a refreshing local cider (yes, the full pint!). But pace yourself because dining stop #2 isn't far. There, we'll have your munchies satiated with gourmet snacks with loads of toppings, along with a stiff cocktail (yes, the full serving again). Want more? Next stop up is some flavorful Creole with another local beverage before rounding out the tour with a sweet take-home collection from the country's oldest confectionery. Come hungry, leave tipsy, and be in-the-know about Philadelphia’s rich history. We’ll serve you food, drinks, sweets, Ben Franklin, the Liberty Bell, and much more! While the foods during the 17th and 18th centuries may have been bland, we’re serving modernized versions of these foods and drinks that would have the colonials jealous. Learn about Philadelphia’s history in the tastiest way possible.

I found out the tour was a nogo.After I arrived at the waiting spot. It sounds like Viator scheduled the tour on a date that City Tours was not scheduling tours. The reason I gave 2 stars instead of one is that the person from City Tours reached out to me when he found out.I had been waiting when City Tours did not know that Viator had scheduled a tour. Both the person I spoke to at Viator and the man I spoke to at city tours helped smooth my disappointment. In addition, the man at City Tours really tried to help find an alternate tour that we could schedule this week. Unfortunately, we couldn't find anything that worked. I've dealt with Viator before in Europe and was happy with my tours there.

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.
