Experience Details

The Reading Terminal Market is a must-see for anyone in Philadelphia. Designed for locals, visitors, students, and fans of the Market, join us as we explore the Market's rich history, witness the skilled cooking styles passed down from generations, and take in the diverse and mouth-watering scents from the 80+ merchants.


Starting off with a famous Philly snack, this 45-minute tour will tantalize your taste buds and provide insight into the Market's vibrant history. Our expert guide will lead you through the Market's bustling aisles, pointing out must-see spots and sharing stories of the Market's past.


Come enjoy a fun and informative tour of the market, with an option to take home a scrumptious treat too. Advanced booking is required; walk-ons not guaranteed a spot.


Our Tour Guides accept tips, and they are greatly appreciated. Tipping is left up to the individual, but as a general practice, 20% is the common gratuity for service workers.
