Italian Market Tour Customer Reviews

Average Rating: 5 stars out of 5
Fun, easy-going tour

My boyfriend and I received this tour as a gift and ending up having a lot of fun. We live in Philadelphia so we were tourists in our own city for a day. Miriam our tour guide was lovely and knowledgeable about stops on the tour. It was really nice that she new many of the store owners and staff by name and clearly had a rapport with them. The tour itself was easy-going and she gave us time to browse and shop around. The time passed easily and two hours went quickly! We retraced our route and stopped back in some stores again on our way back to our car. Highly recommend!
