Gooey cheese-topped fries, hunger-sating cheesesteaks, and hearty tomato pie—Philly’s got its fair share of iconic eats, and this casual and entertaining walking tour lets you take a bite out of all of them. Enjoy lunch on the go as a local guide shares the stories behind the city’s most celebrated snacks.

Make your way into Center City to meet your guide, and come hungry! This tasting tour takes you between 5 classic Philly restaurants and independent eateries to sample an array of dishes and delicacies from the City of Brotherly Love. Between stops, your guide shares funny anecdotes and little-known facts about how each food came to be, and offers tips on the best places to eat like a local.

Head to a no-frills sandwich shop to try what’s arguably the best cheesesteak in town, biting into a soft Amoroso roll packed with quickly griddled slices of steak with American cheese. Accompany that with a side of Cheez Whiz fries, and you’ve got yourself an authentic Philadelphian meal. Savor a chewy square of tomato pie at a mom-and-pop pizzeria, and try a fresh-from-the-oven soft pretzel at a locally loved bakery to round out the savory portion of your tour.

Your final stop is at the historic Reading Terminal Market, one of the oldest public markets in the country, where more than 100 vendors peddle produce, meats, groceries, flowers, and specialty foods. Soak up the vibrant atmosphere as your guide leads you to the very best merchant stands to end your tour with tasty bites of 2 sweet treats.
