Summary

Your local tour guide will meet you in the heart of Philadelphia and introduce you to the evolution of the city, from its historic roots as a melting pot of immigrants to today’s bustling downtown of skyscrapers and diverse architectural styles. We’ll follow the local lunch crowds passing through City Hall and heading to one of the oldest and largest indoor markets in the country, Reading Terminal Market. 

This historic food hall has something for everyone, from cannoli to corndogs. On our food tour of Reading Terminal, your tour guide will narrate its history and prepare you for a bite of the best of the market. The stalls here feature Philadelphia staples like the soft pretzel, Pennsylvania Dutch scrapple, and the Philly cheesesteak, but it also boasts cuisine from around the world that reflects our city’s diverse population. 

You’ll also get to see the trendier, modern-day side of the city along Sansom Street and discover Philly food innovations like creamy vegan shakes and lick-the-bowl-clean New World hummus made from Old World recipes. You may sip on Fair Trade coffee at a fast-growing local start-up, one of many examples of Philly’s social consciousness and move towards environmental sustainability.
