Amazing fun tour of South Philadelphia market and history. Our guide James was so much fun and very knowledgeable- highly recommended!!

We recently attended the walking tour of the Italian Market in Philadelphia. We had the best time with our tour guide, Craig. There were about 8 stops on the tour, including mosaic wall art by Isaiah Zagar, 2 traditional Italian bakeries, cheese and pasta shops, and more. The food was sample sized and all very delicious. Craig lives in the neighborhood and was very knowledgeable about the history of the area and familiar with many of the shops and people. The tour took about 2.5-3 hours. It was a great value for the cost and a fun experience to do for a date day. We would absolutely do another one of their tours.

Barry was great and I would never try all the best food of Philly if it was not for him. He knows everything about Philly and about food and it was the best experience we had there.
