Extraordinary tour of some of the culinary highlights of Lancaster. We visited spots offering everything from savory food and pickles to sweets. A wonderful time.
I am a Lancaster native, former professional baker and committed food lover who can't wait to share some of the hidden culinary gems of Lancaster City! My passion is food and hosting/meeting new people. We will visit unique and varied "off the beaten path" downtown purveyors on this door to door walking tour, where you'll get extra access and attention from owners and operators. Ask your questions and enjoy generous samples! Take home goodies are included in the price of the tour, AND a wealth of history about the city.
Departure Point
- There is a large monument at the intersection of King and Queen Streets. We meet at the monument - not the visitor's center across the street.
