About This Tour
Tiny Table Tours was founded by a well-known local food journalist, and those relationships are at the core of our tours. We share stories gathered from one-on-one interviews with business owners and chefs that will give you a behind-the-scenes, personal view of South Philadelphia. Our tour guides are deeply immersed in Philly food and dining scene, giving you a deeply personal experience. The tour includes six bites of food, including sweet treats, a Vietnamese sandwich, tacos and more. We'll talk about (but not eat) cheesesteaks, and introduce you multigenerational family businesses. We’ll also share our cheat sheet: a list of recommendations for bars, restaurants, and other fun activities in the city. All in all, we’ll walk a little less than 2 miles over the course of 2.5 hours, so please come prepared. We can easily accommodate vegetarians and pescatarians with advance notice. PLEASE let us know if you/anyone in your party has any dietary restrictions we should be aware of.
