International Food Tour Lancaster, PA. This tour was really exceptional! My wife and I went on Valentine’s Day and we couldn’t have had a better date together. Our guide her name was Mabel and she was so energetic and well informed the two hours plus seemed to go so fast would recommend it because you do learn a lot about international foods and a little bit about Lancaster self.

Highly Recommended Int’l Food Tour in Lancaster PA

Jonathan_P, Dec 2025
Mabel did a wonderful job leading us on a delicious and informative journey through a slice of the International food scene in Lancaster. She brought us to small, family owned proprietors who have immigrated to the US, settled in Lancaster and are now bringing the treat of their family’s cuisine to diners/shoppers here. Mabel has a wonderfully bubbly personality, had lots of fun stories to relate and kept us engaged throughout. Highly recommended!

Patricia_S, Jul 2025
The food was really good and tour guide was very personable. We have never done a walking food tour and didn't know what to expect. The food was so good, that we returned to our first stop, Chellas, and bought food to take home!!

Awesome personalized tour

Pamela_C, Jul 2025
Excellent personalized tour which provided a nice mix of local food at restaurants & stores. Had the opportunity to meet some of the chefs/proprietors, which was fantastic. Highly recommend Mabel as a tour guide - thank you again Mabel!

Lots of fun, lots of food

Roy_B, Jul 2025
Licia was a terrific guide. Brought us to some wonderful places. Described the food and gave us a little history of the area. We would highly recommend this tour and guide.

Give it a try—worth your $$!

Laura_S, Jun 2025
It’s totally worth it! Know that it’s quite a bit of walking with frequent stops. We had 6 stops with plenty of food and our guide was so willing to accommodate special dietary needs. Mabel was friendly, energetic and helpful. The stories we heard about the various vendors/owners were enjoyable. The olive oil/vinegar experience was fun. And the bonus of a discount when purchasing at those stops was great.

Lots of fun!

Katie_E, Jun 2025
Easy walk, yummy international foods, friendly tour guide. Don’t be afraid to ask questions! And bring spending money!

Enjoyable experience

Kendra is amazing! She is personable, knowledgeable and fun to be with. There was a lot of food to try. Tried a ton of new foods that I will definitely have again. She made time to speak to everyone on our tour which was large and that can be tough to do. My only regret is the tour wasn't long enough!

I was pleasantly surprised to learn of the diverse cultures and food choices in Lancaster. Our tour guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. This tour was perfect for every age group because all of the stops are centrally located with seating and bathrooms along the way. I appreciate them asking if you have any dietary restrictions to ensure there are foods you can eat.

Great time in Lancaster!
