Q&A

Q: What's the age limit for this tour? Can I bring my kids?

A: There's no strict age limit, but it's best suited for ages 12 and up since it's a walking tour with some historical discussions. Kids might enjoy the food, but they may not get all the historical context. If you bring younger kids, just be prepared for a bit of walking! It's a two-hour tour, so make sure they're up for it.

Q: Can you talk about the parking situation around the tour area?

A: Parking can be a bit tricky in Southwest Philly, but there are some street spots if you're lucky. I'd recommend arriving 15-20 minutes early to find a spot. There are also a few pay lots around if you prefer not to drive around searching. Just be cautious about parking signs!

Q: What should I wear for this tour? Is it casual?

A: Absolutely keep it casual! Wear comfortable shoes since there's a fair amount of walking. Layers are a good idea too, depending on the weather, since you're outdoors for two hours. You want to be comfy enough to enjoy all that delicious food!
