This was a fantastic tour! We always try to participate in a food tour when visiting different cities, and this was one of our favorites. This is a bus tour, not a walking tour. In fact, you don't even need to get off the bus. The sandwiches have been pre-ordered and are delivered to the bus. It's extremely nice, especially when it's raining, extremely cold, or hot and humid. You always have the option of getting off and stretching your legs, catching a glimpse of the restaurant, etc. The tour has 5 stops and you are asked to rate different components (meat, cheese, bread) at each stop. The tour guide listens to the feedback and alters stops on the tour periodically based upon the feedback. Stops on this tour included Sonny's, Campo's, Jim's, Pat's, and Geno's.
We also stopped at the Philadelphia Museum of Art and got to climb up the Rocky steps. Our tour guide, Nina (also the owner of the company), passed along all sorts of her knowledge about the city as we drove past various monuments and buildings.

It was too much fun and it was a huge amount of food--when they say 5 samples think big.
Thanks Philly Cheesesteak Tour we had the most fun!
I hope...
Read moreIt's an incredible experience for both tourists in Philly and those who are natives. I have lived in Philly for six years and never really had the chance to have the full cheesesteak experience until this tour. It's a family and friends appropriate adventure that is very accommodating, fun, and plentiful. Trust me, you will get your full cheesesteak taste exercise. As a fellow foodie, I got my palate occupied by so many different flavors... seriously this is the ultimate affordable Philly...
