WHAT CUSTOMERS ARE SAYING ABOUT THESE Food Tours in Philadelphia

Our experience was exceptional. Matthew was superb as a guide and a leader in the market We are both high school teachers so we understand instruction and difficult people. Matthew has the right personality for the job. He was friendly and fun while also being informative. I have already recommended his tour to several others.

We had a great time and learned a lot! We both were born in raised in the Philly area and had been to Reading Terminal before. There is so much you don't know and wouldn't know unless you are guided around. Matthew was extremely welcoming and knowledgeable! Highly recommend!

FAQS ABOUT FOOD TOURS in Philadelphia

How do food tours in Philadelphia work?

If you’re looking to book Philadelphia food tours, the process couldn’t be simpler. Simply find a tour that tempts your taste buds, set your group size and choose a date. From there, it’s a simple case of meeting your guide at a designated location — be that in South Philly, Fishtown or Rittenhouse Square — before taking a tour of between four and six of Philly’s most renowned foodie hotspots. While each experience is different, most take between two and three hours, with most stops proffering dishes that have been pre-arranged by your guide. You won’t need to wait in line to order and can instead spend your time doing what matters — enjoying the food!

Do food tours accommodate vegetarians or other dietary needs?

Most stops on the best Philadelphia food tours will gladly provide suitable alternative menu items for those with dietary preferences and requirements. However, this is never guaranteed and depends largely on the specific tour you decide to book. You can see the menu items included by viewing the “tastings” tab on your chosen experience’s web page. Of course, you’re welcome to skip certain courses that don’t align with your preferences and requirements, but don't forget about our Concierge team! Working with you and a guide, they’ll be glad to help curate an experience that’s sure to tempt your taste buds from start to finish.

Are food tours family-friendly?

Eating tours in Philadelphia can indeed be enjoyed by the whole family, however, it’s worth bearing in mind that your guide curates each tasting to please adult palates primarily. Not only that, but some tours involve quite a bit of walking as well which might make some experiences unsuitable for youngsters with tiny legs. Both the tastings and the amount of walking involved are dependent on the tour you choose to book. With that in mind, we always encourage families to contact our Concierge team for assistance in finding a tour that the whole clan can enjoy.

How much do food tours cost?

If you’re contemplating booking foodie tours in Philadelphia, you can expect to pay between $59 and over $100 per person. However, this is just a guide. The actual price is likely to differ based on a few factors, including the specific tour you book as well as the number of people in your party, since tour prices are tiered based on group size. Seasonality is also a factor, with key dates like Labor Day usually commanding stronger demand and therefore higher prices. For a rough idea of price, you can view the per-person starting price on your chosen experience’s web page. For more in-depth assistance, we recommend reaching out to our helpful Concierge team.

Is there enough to eat on the tour?

If there’s one thing we can guarantee when you take culinary tours in Philadelphia, it’s that you won’t go hungry. Each tour covers between four and six stops, each providing a taste of its most renowned menu items. Via those, you might find yourself savoring delights such as hot apple dumplings, Irish pie, soft pretzels, Malaysian nasi lemak as well as tantalizingly mysterious secret dishes. In other words, there’ll be plenty for you to eat, so if you’re contemplating grabbing a quick bite before your tour begins, we strongly advise saving your appetite!

What happens if there’s bad weather?

If you’re gazing with concern at the rain clouds on your weather app ahead of your chosen tour date, don’t worry as most food tours run ahead as planned, regardless of the weather. Of course, we understand that life has a habit of getting in the way and that you might, therefore, need to cancel your experience for a host of other reasons. If you do, don’t worry, just be sure to check the cancellation policy on your specific experience’s web page. And bear in mind that when you book events that are due to take place within the next 48 hours, the cost for those is non-refundable.

How much do you tip the food tour guide?

The amount that you tip your tour guide is entirely down to your discretion, however, please know that when you book culinary tours in Austin, you are under no obligation whatsoever to give one. Of course, we understand if you’d like to — it’s a wonderful way to say thank you for an unforgettable experience, one for which your guide is sure to be incredibly grateful. If you would like to tip, again, the amount is up to you. But if you’re unsure, we usually recommend tipping between 10% and 25% of the total experience cost.

Are food tours worth it?

Absolutely! Food tours in Austin come with a whole host of benefits. First, they’re perfect for all manner of occasions, whether you’re planning a birthday bash, an anniversary date with a difference or even a team-building event. Second, everybody’s sure to have a blast! You’ll try menu items from an array of the city’s most renowned foodie hotspots, gaining insights along the way from your guide into the city’s thriving food culture and the global traditions that shaped it. Finally, what could be better than sharing such an exciting foodie experience and forging life-long memories together with like-minded culinarians?
