Fantastic Passyunk Food Tour
We had a great time learning about Passyunk and enjoying the food along our tour. All the food was great but our favorite was the smoked Brisket “cheesesteak” from Mike’s BBQ. We had Stops at Pizzata (great pizza and we got to try a new one they were working on and vote) and Barcelona for Spanish Tapas. We ended at Termini brothers for a brief tour and cannolis. Overall a 5 star event. We defiantly ate more than I expected which was a nice surprise. This is not just a “taste testing” tour. We plan on trying the other tours for sure.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re so glad you loved the East Passyunk tour. Thrilled to hear it exceeded your expectations. We can't wait to have you back for another foodie adventure soon!

Response from the operator: Thank you for joining our East Passyunk tour and for sharing your feedback! We’re so glad you enjoyed both the food and the history of the neighborhood. We always check in with guests for substitutions and are happy to adjust when possible.

We’re glad you had a great time overall and would love to have you back for more!

Why this scores 49
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Highlights of East Passyunk Food Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Philadelphia.
How much does Highlights of East Passyunk Food Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $105 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Philadelphia usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Highlights of East Passyunk Food Tour take?
+
Plan for about 2 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Philadelphia is not rushed.
Is Highlights of East Passyunk Food Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 49 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Philadelphia, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Highlights of East Passyunk Food Tour?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Highlights of East Passyunk Food Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Highlights of East Passyunk Food Tour?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Philadelphia can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Philadelphia and add a light layer if any part of the 2-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Highlights of East Passyunk Food Tour start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Philadelphia within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Philadelphia?
+
Philadelphia's core is walkable: Independence Hall and the Liberty Bell need timed entry, the mural arts programme runs the largest public art collection in the country, and the Reading Terminal and Italian Market food walks fill the middle of the day. Outty Ranking favours operators who secure Independence Hall tickets rather than sending you to the visitor centre queue. On Outty we rank every Philadelphia experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Revolution and the Founders: History Tour of Philadelphia, Dark Philly Adult Night Tour, Philadelphia Old City Historic Walking Tour with 10+ Top Sites. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Philadelphia?
+
April to June and September to October, mild weather and open patios. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Philadelphia?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
