Top Lancaster Food Tours

Join our talented storyteller at Penn Square's visitors center, where you will begin your journey through historic Lancaster. Don't forget there will be food! This 3-hour walk through Lancaster's downtown showcases this city's diverse culture offering delicious food samples from several local family-owned eateries. No chain restaurants on this tour. This all-inclusive tour runs rain or shines during the Spring, Summer, and Fall. Sorry, no Winter tours (the guide is not a fan of the cold). Looking forward to meeting you!

Discover the highlights of Lancaster, learn about the area’s Amish and Mennonite communities, and enjoy local experiences that most tourists miss on this small-group tour. Led by your guide (who has local roots), you’ll visit highlights like the Lancaster Central Market and Fulton Theatre, will explore historic churches and museums, will connect with community members, and will even enjoy several sweet treats as you go.

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.

We have worked in the food industry for nearly 20 years with local restaurants, national franchises, and food manufacturers. As lifelong Lancaster natives, we have grown to fall in love with our downtown restaurants and will take you behind the scenes of our gems. We will take you to some of the most iconic and popular restaurants in downtown Lancaster to sample some of their unique offerings, meet owners and chefs, and learn about the history and expertise of each location. This is a walking tour and will give you good sense of where you may want to go for lunch or dinner!
