Private Tour: Secret Food Tours Philadelphia
Overview
On our Secret Food Tour: Philadelphia, you'll be led through the busy streets of Philly for a mouth-watering three-hour urban gastronomy tour in the central and historic areas of the 'City of Brotherly Love'.
You'll get to try an innovative twist on the soft pretzel, the pretzel Philly cheesesteak made with ingredients sourced from vendors in the Reading Terminal Market. We'll also try an amazing Malaysian dish in Chinatown. You will travel to the heart of the Emerald Isle too; plus there will be two sweet treats, one will be a life changing Pennsylvania Dutch plus the Secret Dish, which will only be revealed on the tour.
As a private tour, everything works around you! Our start times are much more easy going, dates can open up. It's a much more intimate and cozy experience. No need to shout over other tourists, you will have every question answered, and leave feeling like a native yourself!
