Wonderful combination of food and history! - I enjoyed both the historical stories at various buildings and statues as well as the variety of food experiences. Our guide was definitely an expert on both counts. I also appreciated her concern for our safety during the walk.

Walk, Eat, Learn and Be Charmed by Lancaster! - Debbie was an excellent tour guide to downtown Lancaster, PA. She obviously loves her city and is extremely knowledgeable about its history as well as its current day strengths and charms. She led us on a 3 hour tour highlighting the famous as well as lesser known people, structures, and cultures. I loved her style of storytelling about the city, it was so interesting and engaging. I love stories about people, and Debbie was very descriptive in intertwining the stories of the history of Lancaster with its people. I learned a lot more about the beginnings of not only Lancaster but also of our country. We sampled great samples of diverse foods throughout the tour, along with explanations of the history of the food sites. I will be recommending Debbie’s tour to anyone I know that is visiting Lancaster!
