Not worth $70

This was the most expensive of the food tours given the weekend we were in Lancaster. Our food samples were: pickles, a stroopie, a cup of tea, a cupcake, tasting at an oil and vinegar shop, and a Whoopi pie. This company is pulling in a huge profit at $70 a head! The oil and vinegar tasting is free to all customer. The other items maybe totaled $30 erring on the high end. Some interesting history told by the guide, but I’ve done food tours in 3 other cities and this was really of poor quality. Very disappointed.

We are very sorry you were disappointed and didn't feel the value was there. There is usually a stop at a French pastry shop that is a higher price point, but it was unexpectedly closed due to a plumbing problem and it was necessary to go to the Central Market as a substitute. Having offered this tour for over 3 years with almost exclusively 5 star reviews across all listing platforms, almost all of our guests do feel the tour is well worth the price, not just the samples and take-homes, but the city tour and information provided by our guides. That said, we do appreciate your feedback and take it seriously. I would also note that in addition to direct food expenses, there are multiple other costs associated such as substantial commissions to platforms such as this one as well as guide payments and other indirect costs that diminish the perceived "huge" profit down to a very modest number per person.

Great way to see downtown Lancaster at a nice pace.

Loved the headsets and the “to go” treats. Interaction with a couple of vendors was weak. More history of the area would be nice.
