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!!

This tour was fantastic - all the food we ate was wonderful and it was great to try so many different things. Chef Jacquie was amazing, informative, energetic and full of South Philly fun facts! On any future visits to the Italian Market I'll know exactly where to go!

Jacquie greeted us a few minutes early and was so friendly, kind and knowledgeable. We were the only couple there due to it being Easter weekend, but she ran the tour anyway! We got the best of both worlds, as she is not only a chef but also a lifelong resident of the neighborhood. She shared so many interesting stories about the history of the foods we tried as well as the history of the neighborhood. The food was absolutely amazing! We went back to several places after the tour with our shopping bags because we wanted to bring a little bit of everything home! Parking was easy and very close. Would highly recommend!

Great tour! We had a wonderful time with our guide Jackie who was extremely knowledgeable about the market. Highly recommend it.

This was a great tour, Chef Jackie kept it moving at a really good pace - but also told us tons of tales of the neighborhood, history, interesting facts. And the food was great. We thoroughly enjoyed it! Highly recommend.
