Mike was a great guide full of historical facts. We enjoyed all the local shops. Mike is a foodie so he was able to recommend pairings of olive oils with balsamic vinegar. We dropped by the central market though it wasn’t on the tour. The meat stalls looked amazing.

A great two hour slice of history and food experiences in downtown Lancaster. Mike is very knowledgeable and well versed in the local history and took us to some hidden foodie gems. We sampled fresh pickles, French desserts, custom blended teas, oils and vinegars and a local treat, the stroopwafel. And we took home some goodies! Great time with a great host. Book this excursion and get in on the fun!

Our guide, Mike, was very knowledgeable and personable. Tons of history given about the city, architecture. We enjoyed the tour but wish there was a touch more savory perhaps something in the market or a slice of pizza. The 4 attendees went to lunch at the end of the tour. The cupcake stop and the french bakery was our favorite but we did return to purchase 6 bottles of balsamic vinegars.
