    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!

    Debbie was awesome! So knowledgeable about local history and, of course, food!! Glad we had her to guide us through Central Market — that place is overwhelming on weekends! The three hours just flies by — it was the kind of tour you don’t want to end!

    This was an amazing experience! My 13 year old granddaughter and her friend also enjoyed the tour. Debbie, our guide, is an absolute wealth of great information. Her knowledge of the vendors that we visited and the history of the area is incredible! The food experience was fantastic! She definitely knows how to engage with people and teenagers and how to provide them with some really great information and insights of the city. Without any hesitation, I recommend this tour!
