The Italian Market isn’t just about food; it’s a cultural experience, and Chef Jacquie was the perfect guide to take us through it. She not only brought this area alive with her storytelling, but had so much culinary knowledge to share. Thank you for making our day so memorable and special. Highly recommend.

The food tour was amazing - I highly recommend. Food tours are a great way to get to know a city. Chef Jacquie is a very personable and knowledgeable tour guide. She had lots of knowledge on both the food sold in the shops and the history of the surrounding Philadelphia Italian community. We left the tour feeling like we learned a great amount about both the food and the city of Philadelphia. A great choice for a food tour! It was my favorite thing I did during my trip to Philly!

Jackie was a great tour guide and gave us a great tour of the Italian market, 8 different locations with a unique food tasting experience at each stop

This was a fantastic tour! My goodness the food was delicious! Chef Jacqui was a minefield of information and enthusiasm. I learned so much about the Italian American origins and how they evolved into being such a great contribution to the USA cuisine. Highly recommended tour with very thoughtful little bonus gifts.

We had a great time with the chef and our small tour group. From the minute we met Chef Jacquie, I knew we were in for a fun day! She was warm and welcoming and had great stories. We enjoyed the food but I loved the stories about the history of the neighborhood over the years. Anyone can give a tour with food samples, but only someone who truly loves the area can weave the stories, the history, and the food together into a tapestry that is as colorful, diverse, and flavorful as the neighborhood itself. I highly recommend the tour and will surely book again in the future. Ps. GET THE CANNOLI!

Chef Jackie did a great job “inviting us into her neighborhood”! She shared her knowledge freely and her relationships throughout the market. The mix of savory and sweet bites ending with delicious pizza was “just right”! Would highly recommend.

Fun walk around the Italian market with a true member if the neighborhood. More eating than walking. Interesting stores in a beautiful neighborhood

Absolutely wonderful tour! We got to sample some amazing food, see the beautiful area of the city , learn about its history and spend the day with our lovely tour guide. Would highly recommend to anyone that wants to eat well and learn!

Chef Jackie was great. She is very knowledgeable about Italian cuisine though this is not where her expertise ends. She is a walking encyclopedia on Italian history in south Philly. It’s lovely to watch her interact with the locals of the area which adds an air of authenticity to the tour. We loved the tastings which were selected carefully to cater for all types of audience. We visited some really eclectic stores which enabled us to buy stuff that we would not ordinarily do at other places. Over all a five star experience. Really appreciate having her on the tour.

Chef made this tour remarkable!! She covered a lot of ground in a little area. We ate, we had coffee, we learned history and all sprinkled with laughs. Excellent tour. One of my favourites to date!!
