A Delectable Tour - The tour was great and an interesting way to learn about the city. Our guide was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. At each of our seven stops on the walk, we sampled tasty sweets or savory food, as well as learned a bit about the owners or business history. Even though the day was hot, we had a fun time eating our way around Lancaster City. We recommend this trip.

Great tour guide - Mike was amazing! He is full of knowledge, went above and beyond with information regarding the history of the town and areas we passed. Most of all he was very patient slowing down the pace to accommodate.

Fun afternoon - Mike was a great guide full of historical facts. We enjoyed all the local shops. Mike is a foodie so he was able to recommend pairings of olive oils with balsamic vinegar. We dropped by the central market though it wasn’t on the tour. The meat stalls looked amazing.
