Today I had such an unforgettable experience on the Lancaster History and Breakfast Walking Tour with Kendra! What made it even more special? I was the only person signed up—so it turned into a private, personalized tour just for me. 🙌🏾
Since moving to the Lancaster/Lititz area earlier this year, I’ve been exploring, learning, and trying to settle into my new surroundings. This tour was the perfect way to dive deeper into Lancaster’s rich history while also connecting with pieces of home that resonate with my culture.
We started the morning with a delicious breakfast at Lancaster Central Market, surrounded by the energy of vendors and the rich history of the market itself. From there, we stopped at a cozy coffee shop for a pick-me-up, and then treated ourselves to a sweet stop at a local dessert spot. Each stop was not only tasty but also tied into Lancaster’s story, which Kendra shared so thoughtfully along the way.
The highlight of the tour for me came when Kendra introduced me to Julia at the Gourmet Market, which she opened just nine months ago. Inside, I found treasures that instantly made me smile—like Fusion Kuisine’s Peanut Stew simmer sauce and Neilly’s Jollof Rice Mix. These are the kinds of flavors that remind me of home, and now I know exactly where to shop whenever I need authentic African ingredients. Julia, the owner, is warm and welcoming, and it was such a joy to meet her and hear her story.
A special thank-you goes to Kendra, who made the whole tour feel so personal. She tailored everything to my interests, took the time to show me hidden gems I never would have found on my own, and made me feel truly welcome in a city I’m still getting to know.
This wasn’t just a walking tour—it was a journey through history, culture, and food that left me feeling more connected to Lancaster than ever before. For anyone new to the area (or even longtime locals who want to see the city with fresh eyes), I can’t recommend this tour enough!

The tour provider did not show up at the designated place and time for the tour. They didn't respond to inquiries sent to them from the starting point using the means of communication provided by Viator. The did not issue a refund of the initial fee paid within a week of botching the tour until after I contacted Viator directly to inquire a second time about the tour and potential refund. I drove 45 minutes each way to get to the tour and stood out in the cold waiting for no reason. Also? After arriving at the given address for rendezvous... it seemed that the tourist bureau had moved across the street. So it was necessary to spread out and cover all bases.
Eventually I received a refund. But it was a bummer. No free Viator points or compensation was offered for wasting my time.
Poor experience.

Hi David, we always try to go above and beyond if we "drop the ball". It doesn't happen often, but we do our due diligence. I contacted you via Tripadvisor messages, call and text. I apologized for the scheduling mishap and offered to make things right. We issued the refund quickly as that was the right thing to do.
We are all only human, mistakes happen in scheduling. We appreciate you taking the time to offer this feedback. And hope you will take us up on the offer to provide you with a free tour in the future.
