What a delight! - We went on the Lancaster History and Breakfast Walking Tour with our guide Becka. Our group was small, only one other couple with us. It was like going out with old friends and touring the town and stopping for snacks on the way. We've been on several waling tours and this ranks up there with the best. Thank you Becka!

Exploring Lancaster Through History, Culture & Food - 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!

Great Combination of Fun and History! - The Lancaster City Breakfast and History Walking Tour was so much fun! I would highly recommend Unique Lancaster Experiences to anyone. Rebecca, our guide, was so cheery and knowledgable. Her story telling skills kept us engaged the whole time. This is a great tour to do solo or with a partner, friends, or family. Perfect way to learn about Lancaster, PA.

They didn't show up; didn't cancel. Didn't call. - 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.
