    Definitely not worth the money. Agree with other reviewer that this was not professional at all. Company cancelled at 11:00pm before the night of our tour without an explanation. Ended up rescheduling for the next day. Restaurants differed from the list, which was fine, but they didn't even know we were coming and the ordering was awkward. Rather than having their specialties prepared for us, the tour guide was just winging it. History was minimal. And we left hungry, as there were two savory samples and two sweet samples.

    Company cancelled on us at 11:00pm the night before with no explanation, we ended up rescheduling for the next day. All stops were in about a 100 yard radius, so we didn’t really get to see the town. The stops were not as listed, which was fine, but the restaurants didn’t seem to know that we were on a food tour so they treated us like a table of seven and it was very awkward when they figured out that we were only ordering a small sample. Other tours we’ve been on were prepared for us and had samples of their specialties prepared for us. On this tour, the tour guide just seemed to be winging it. And we were hungry when we left. Not worth the price.

    My wife and I took this tour and loved it! The food was great and our guide was engaging. The food we got to try out was delicious and things we might not have picked out for ourselves. We were solo and this lead to us getting more personal recommendations on what other spots to check out later in our trip.

    We (me, my wife and two 16yr olds) visited Gettysburg mid July and decided to do this food tour and couldn’t have been happier. We met our guide, Kyra, outside “Sweet, The Candy Store” to start the tour. This was Kyra’s first official tour and she was AMAZING! She took us to 5 different locations where we sampled: a soft pretzel; Philly cheesesteaks, waffle fries, chocolate candies, pizza, pastries and ice cream. Kyra was very friendly, professional, and knowledgeable of the local area and of the foods. Would do this again, especially if given different options for food stops. NOTE: This tour has enough food to get you through lunch and dinner, and was about 2 hours long for us.

    Take the Savor food tour -- which is actually a professional food tour -- instead of this one. It was not worth the money.
