About this activity

Our tour is one-of-a-kind in Philly as it combines vintage shopping with sweets and sips. You will also get a very good feel for the historic district of Old City that will allow you come back and dive deeper into the famous landmarks.

We will be starting with a treat at the oldest confectionery store in the country, to be followed by stops at some of our favorite vintage boutiques scattered amongst the charming, historic streets. Each one has a unique, secondhand vibe, so there's sure to be something for everyone. In between some of the shopping we will stop for some delicious pastries as well. Next, we will head towards Center City with a stop in Chinatown on the way.

You will get an introduction to Reading Terminal Market, which is one of Philly’s top three tourist attractions. The market can be overwhelming, but we will take you to some favorite vendors and will make you feel truly at home. Sweet bites, a sweet+savory taste, a spirit tasting and a cocktail sip are included.
