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!

Great experience - We had a great experience. Deb, our tour guide is very knowledgeable and organized. We have learned a lot about people who have lived at that time. Seasons, olive oil & vinegar tap room was our favorite place to visit. We recommend this tour to friends and family.
