The Italian Market isn’t just about food; it’s a cultural experience, and Chef Jacquie was the perfect guide to take us through it. She not only brought this area alive with her storytelling, but had so much culinary knowledge to share. Thank you for making our day so memorable and special. Highly recommend.

The food tour was amazing - I highly recommend. Food tours are a great way to get to know a city. Chef Jacquie is a very personable and knowledgeable tour guide. She had lots of knowledge on both the food sold in the shops and the history of the surrounding Philadelphia Italian community. We left the tour feeling like we learned a great amount about both the food and the city of Philadelphia. A great choice for a food tour! It was my favorite thing I did during my trip to Philly!

Jackie was a great tour guide and gave us a great tour of the Italian market, 8 different locations with a unique food tasting experience at each stop

This was a fantastic tour! My goodness the food was delicious! Chef Jacqui was a minefield of information and enthusiasm. I learned so much about the Italian American origins and how they evolved into being such a great contribution to the USA cuisine. Highly recommended tour with very thoughtful little bonus gifts.

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.

My fiance and I really enjoyed this tour. We found our guide Jacqueline to be fun and knowledgeable, and everything you'd want your food guide would be, (a proud local who is active in her community). You'll learn a little about how the Little Italy came to be and sample your way through a selection of her recommended places. We received this tour as a Christmas present, and it was the perfect way to experience Philly. Tip: Come with a bag, as it is likely that you will want to make purchases at the places you visit.

My husband and I went on Chef Jacquie's Italian Market Dinner Tour as a birthday present. It was fabulous! The food was amazing, and Jacquie's information and stories were so engaging and interesting. We had a lot of fun, and will definitely be back for another tour with Chef Jacquie. I've been recommending this experience to my friends and family.

Jacquie's knowledge of the history and food of the Italian Market area is unparalleled, and her walking tour is informative, totally fun, and one of the best food tours I've ever taken (and I've taken, and given, a lot!). StrEATS of Philly is one of the best ways to enjoy and learn about Philadelphia food culture, and shouldn't be missed by tourists or locals. Oh, and the food we ate? DELISH! The walking is moderate, with plenty of fun stops, so this tour can accommodate people of many fitness levels easily. A very well-designed food experience!

Chef Jaquie was amazing. Very personable and a wealth of knowledge. The history she shared enhanced each food stop on the way!

Chef Jacquie was amazing! It was great to learn the history of the Italian Market and the stops and food was great!

Highlight of our trip to Philadelphia. The guide was very insightful and gave us recommendations for the area. Great food, great tour.
