Our tour guide was Debbie. She was fantastic!! Engaging, friendly and extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much historical information regarding the role of Lancaster in the formation of the country along with very interesting historical trivia, such as where did the term "First Lady" originate. The food selections were very good. All in all, we would highly recommend this walking food/history tour.

One of the best Walking Food Tours we've experienced. We try to do one at the beginning of our stay to get the "lay of the land" and our guide certainly provided just that. The tour was full of information and delicious food. Highly recommend this tour
Lancaster weekend

Debbie was a great guide! She brought us around the city tasting many delicious foods! We Also got loads of historical information during our stops and throughout the city. Highly recommend this tour! And her husband David was just as amazing!
Lancaster and Debbie are a winning combination!

It was obvious to us that Debbie loves the city of Lancaster, adding a little bit of her New York flare to the tour! Her enthusiasm was contagious as we came to appreciate the interesting history of Lancaster and it's cast of founding characters. Because we brought along a 13 and 12 year old, she intentionally engaged them in every aspect of the tour. They will always remember the story behind the word "eavesdropping" and the difference between cemetery and graveyard. We counted 11 different food and drink items we sampled as we walked approximately 2 miles. Debbie keeps the tour moving at a steady pace as there is much history and food sampling to get in within the 3 hours. Dawdling doesn't happen on this tour. Thank you, Debbie, for an excellent tour, the opportunity to try a varied selection of foods, and generously sharing the city of Lancaster with some MIchiganders.
Response from Host, Aug 2022

Great way to explore Historic Lancaster and taste the variety of foods from different restaurants. Our tour guide was great and chose samples that would satisfy everyone. You'll learn something new and help support small businesses. Come hungry with good walking shoes. Calorie free because you walk it off!
