Not worth $70

This was the most expensive of the food tours given the weekend we were in Lancaster. Our food samples were: pickles, a stroopie, a cup of tea, a cupcake, tasting at an oil and vinegar shop, and a Whoopi pie. This company is pulling in a huge profit at $70 a head! The oil and vinegar tasting is free to all customer. The other items maybe totaled $30 erring on the high end. Some interesting history told by the guide, but I’ve done food tours in 3 other cities and this was really of poor quality. Very disappointed.
Response from Host , Apr 2022
We are very sorry you were disappointed and didn't feel the value was there. There is usually a stop at a French pastry shop that is a higher price point, but it was unexpectedly closed due to a plumbing problem and it was necessary to go to the Central Market as a substitute. Having offered this tour for over 3 years with almost exclusively 5 star reviews across all listing platforms, almost all of our guests do feel the tour is well worth the price, not just the samples and take-homes, but the city tour and information provided by our guides. That said, we do appreciate your feedback and take it seriously. I would also note that in addition to direct food expenses, there are multiple other costs associated such as substantial commissions to platforms such as this one as well as guide payments and other indirect costs that diminish the perceived "huge" profit down to a very modest number per person.
Great Tour! Highly recommended

Mike was a fantastic guide and full of information. He made our tour so interesting! He was so caring too, it was raining and someone on our tour wasn't dressed appropriately and he have her his coat.
We perform checks on reviews
You can only submit a review or rating of an experience to Viator if you were the person who made the booking through Viator. Before publication, each review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information for each of the following criteria: who, what, how, and when. If the system detects something that contradicts our publication criteria, the review is not published. When the system detects a problem with a review, it may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site. In some cases, we will also send you an email asking you to validate your review before it is published. All you need to do is click on the link provided in the email. After publication, our team checks each review reported to it as not meeting our publication criteria. Tripadvisor reviews that appear on the Viator site are subject to the same checks and moderation processes as set out above. It is not necessary to have booked an experience through Viator (or Tripadvisor) to submit a review of an experience to the Tripadvisor site.

Sorting, ranking, and search results
Viator wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That’s why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.
On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You’ll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.
You’ll see some experiences with a “Promoted” badge, which means that the operators of those experiences have agreed to pay Viator more to have their experience highlighted.
If you see an Experience Award Winner label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through Viator over a 12-month period.
The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We’re always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
