Description
The Ultimate Philly Food & History Trolley Tour. While there are plenty of ways to eat your way through the city, no one does it quite like this.
Founding Footsteps is proud to launch a first-of-its-kind experience: a food tour Philadelphia foodies and history buffs alike will obsess over. We’ve combined the rich, storied past of our city’s culinary staples with exclusive stops at the top eateries in town.
The best part? You aren’t walking off those calories—you’re cruising in style. Sit back and enjoy the sights and sounds of the city in our famous BYOB trolley as we navigate through Philly’s most iconic neighborhoods.
A Taste of History: What’s on the Menu?
This isn't just a snack break; it’s a 2.5-hour deep dive into the flavors that put Philly on the map. Our food tour Philadelphia itinerary includes:
• Historic Old City: Taste where it all began in the birthplace of American independence.
• Authentic Little Italy: Experience the deep-rooted traditions of the 9th Street Italian Market.
• Surprise Neighborhood Stops: We’ll venture off the beaten path to secret spots only the locals know.
The "Philly Four": Guests will sample legendary local sandwiches, world-famous cheesesteaks, artisan pizza, and decadent desserts throughout the journey.
Why Choose This Tour?
Most tours make you choose between a history lesson or a full stomach. We give you both. From the origins of the hoagie to the evolution of the modern food scene, our expert guides narrate the journey while you enjoy the convenience of our climate-controlled trolley.
Pro Tip: Our trolley is BYOB! Feel free to bring your favorite beer or wine to pair with your cheesesteak as we roll through the city.
