Great food, great stories - We got to sample a wide variety of foods, with regional and international foods represented. All of the businesses were local/family-owned. Along with having tasty foods, Deb was very knowledgeable about the City of Lancaster and its history. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who likes food and wants to learn more about the Lancaster area.

History with snacks! - Great tour of Lancaster center. It’s billed as a food tour but it’s really a history tour with snacks. Highly recommend.

Perfect day in Lancaster! - My husband and I had such a lovely time on the Red Rose Walking tour of Lancaster. Deb was very knowledgeable and picked out food tasting spots that were owned by small/family businesses. Highly recommend this tour!

Food, Fun, and Facts - Debbie was knowledgeable, personable, and did her best to meet individual needs and look out for the group during our tour. My husband and I felt the pace was perfect, with a few sit-down spots for snacking along the way. This is a very enjoyable way to learn about U.S history as well as the history of Lancaster, all while experiencing some new delicious foods!

Wonderful, tasty and informative day in Lancaster! - Debbie was an outstanding and informative guide!! The food options were wonderful — went back to the Jamaican restaurant following our tour!! We had enough food to cover us until dinner time, following an 11 am tour. The stories and history lessons Debbie shared with us throughout the tour will stay with me for many years to come! Thank you!!
