Berry was great. It was nice to have a local that was really informed about the city, its food and the art murals and sculptures. Great way to get out and explore a new city

My friend DJ and I went on our tour, and it was excellent. This was one of the best icebreakers into Philadelphia. We arrived two days ago, and it was amazing to see the camaraderie in the City of Brotherly Love. Barry, our tour operator, had us laughing, joking, and sharing stories, which was great.

We absolutely loved this tour! To start off, our guide, Barry was extremely well knowledgeable. You can tell he truly enjoyed his job and it showed. We got a great amount of food with so much wonderful history throughout the tour. The pace was great so that we can ask questions, take photos, and enjoy the food. We also really enjoyed ending at Reading Terminal Market because it allowed us time to enjoy the area. I've been to Philly many times and I felt like Barry taught us about all the things we don't easily pick out or know about the sights we often see. Highly recommend!
