Taste the Best of Philly
Escape to the city this weekend for a delicious tour of South Philly or Center City.
Center City kicks off this weekend in the City of Brotherly Love.
But if you are like me, choosing just one restaurant is nearly impossible. So, skip the decision this weekend and escape with Philadelphia Urban Adventures on a tour of the Italian Market or a tour of Center City.
On the 9th Street Italian Market Tour, travel through the famous and fabulous market. You will get a chance to talk with shop owners and vendors and hear more about the past and present of the market. Of course, the tour includes samples—try everything from smoked provolone and homemade pasta to Middle Eastern delights like falafel and hummus.

If Center City is more your thing, the Soul of Center City Tour will delight you with sights, architecture, public art and history. Stroll through the Reading Terminal Market, grabbing tastes from ethnic, local and unique food vendors. Once outside, your tour guide will give you the insider details on the best food trucks.
