International Food Tour of Lancaster with Marguise Brogdon
We did the International Food Tour of Lancaster with Marguise Brogdon. It was great! Marguise was awesome! If you are thinking of a tour check to see if he is available. Marguise was very knowledgeable, personable and enthusiastic. Even though we both had some knowledge of Lancaster, we learned much. Thank you kindly for a wonderful experience!

More then we expected!
We were not expecting this much fun in Lancaster. So so much diverse wonderful food. Really enjoyed the oil/vinigar shop experience. We loved all the places so much that we purchased things from each place!!

Depth and Breadth food experience
Loved the focus on immigrant owned businesses/ businesses that employ and serve immigrants in their business model, like The Stroopie Co. The portions at each stop were huge and completely made more than a meal! Delicious variety of Middle Eastern, Nepali, French, Bhutanese, Spanish EVOO and spices on popcorn, spices, and teas! I would have enjoyed more background on Lancaster city architecture, history, and the immigrant experience as we walked and ate the amazing breadth and depth of international tastes. 100% recommend.

Perfect way to experience Lacanster (city)
We are not generally tour people, but can say that we genuinely enjoyed this tour. The guides were personable, full of knowledge, and us experience many food spots in Lancaster that we wouldn’t have normally seen. There’s quite diverse culture there. I had to use a knee scooter due to a broken foot, and the guides did an excellent job accommodating me along the route. The tour took about 2 1/2 hours, just as described. The food itself was really good. Things I’ve never eaten, but full of flavor and surprise. Worth the $!

Why this scores 73
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
International Food Tour Lancaster, PA: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Lancaster.
How much does International Food Tour Lancaster, PA cost?
+
Prices start at $65 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Lancaster usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does International Food Tour Lancaster, PA take?
+
Plan for about 2.3 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Lancaster is not rushed.
Is International Food Tour Lancaster, PA worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 166 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Lancaster, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule International Food Tour Lancaster, PA?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is International Food Tour Lancaster, PA suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 2.3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book International Food Tour Lancaster, PA?
+
Around 58 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Lancaster can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Lancaster and add a light layer if any part of the 2.3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does International Food Tour Lancaster, PA start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Lancaster within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Lancaster?
+
Lancaster, PA packs its best experiences into walkable neighborhoods, local food, and day trips nearby. Outty ranks every bookable tour and activity in Lancaster by rating quality, review depth, booking demand and value, so you can see the standouts before you book. On Outty we rank every Lancaster experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Premium Amish Country Tour including Amish Farm and House, Amish Experience Visit-In-Person Tour, Unique Amish Immersion in Lancaster. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Lancaster?
+
Spring and fall bring the best weather and lighter crowds in Lancaster, while summer has the widest choice of tours and evening activities. Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Lancaster?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
