Could serve as a survey class about the evolution of The 9th Street Italian Market

Howard is so very knowledgeable about Philadelphia. He transformed the tour from a simple here’s The Italian Market/have a cheese steak into a living history of the history of migration in and around Philadelphia. Each ethnic group’s history was exemplified with a personal story from their past and present; ultimately each story culminates with a taste of the person’s culinary product or artwork.
This is a tour for the Philly native and visitor.
Absolutely fantastic.

Nicole was our tour guide through the Italian market in Philadelphia
The tour began walking through narrow streets looking at and learning about mosaics and murals we then continued our stroll and stopped at an historic bakery ,
cheese , olive oil and other shops with some small but wonderful tastings
Nicole was extremely pleasant ,and informative . We were visitors but touring with our cousins who have lived in the city for years and are quite informed about Philadelphia history. Yet even they learned some new facts and enjoyed the experience very much
Very enjoyable morning and highly recommend
Loved this tour!

We had wanted to do a food tour while in Philly, but they were all booked up. We ended up going with this tour, and it was really wonderful! We learned about the history of the area, some of the local artists, toured the residential areas as well as several of the shops in the market. Even though it is not considered a food tour, we did get several small tastes along the way! Annett was a wonderful, knowledgeable, entertaining guide who knows the area well. Would definitely recommend this tour while in Philly, my husband, son & I thoroughly enjoyed it!!
Best Tour of 9th Street Italian Market

Nina, our guide, was the best. Not only did we walk ninth street but along the way we learned the history of the area, the stores and some artists. A stop in the shops turned out to be heaven with the smell of the cheese, pasta, pastry and the welcome of the shop owners made us all feel as we were part of their family. Needless the tastings brought us back to buy up as much as we could to bring home. I would do it again and bring more friends.

This was a good food tour. It included a lot of the history of a section of Philadelphia, somewhat off the beaten path. The food that we tasted was really good, although don't think of it as replacing your lunch or dinner. They were very small tastings.
I would recommend it because it really exposes you to a different side of Philadelphia.

Our guide Annette is herself an immigrant from Germany which was a great benefit in that she could see things with fresh eyes. The shop owners and employees that she interacted with are very friendly towards her and her customers. Annette was informative in the background story area of the tour. Highly recommend the tour.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.
