LOVED this! Such a fun way to see Hershey and support local businesses. I loved that it’s fun for visitors AND for locals. Finally something I can do with out-of-towners that isn’t the same old Hershey tourist stuff.

Our small party of four enjoyed a lovely afternoon with Eileen, our guide and Mike, our driver. We had some great food and walked away with full bellies and plenty of information about Milton Hershey, the school, and the town. It was a wonderful way to spend an afternoon.

Loved the Hershey Yokl Trolley food tour! Great guide, fun atmosphere, and delicious food throughout. Definitely worth it — can’t wait to do it again!
Lynne Montgomery
Such a fun experience! Who doesn’t love food and a trolley bus to take you around Hershey! Eileen was so enthusiastic from start to finish and added to our fun. The restaurants we visited were so accommodating and everything was delicious! We will absolutely do this again!
Desiree Gipe
The Brunch Tour was such a fun way to sample our way through Hershey and learn the inspirational stories of the entrepreneurs behind the businesses. Eileen did a great job of coordinating and leading the tour. Highly recommended for those visiting from out of town OR locals like us!
Stephanie Yarberough
Yokl was the perfect venue/activity for my daughter's 16th birthday! The girls absolutely loved riding the trolley and singing karaoke throughout town. And to add to the experience, Eileen took care of organizing dessert stops at local eateries which they also loved (and one of the best parts was I stayed home while Eileen ran the show!). Thank you so much Yokl for such a great and memorable party!

All day long I have been receiving terrific comments from the Daytrippers group of our Women's Friendship Club of York. We picked a winner with the Hershey Trolley Food Tour. Thanks Eileen and Mike for a great day touring Hershey and stopping at a variety of places to enjoy samplings of their wares. Ours is a group of shoppers, so also having the opportunity to do so was a plus!

I own Stay Apparel Co., which has a retail store at the Hershey History Center. Yokl's trolley, Lulu, embarks from the history center and has brought additional vitality to the property and driven home the importance of shopping local. Yokl customers who visit us rave about their food tours. We're looking forward to growing our relationship with Yokl.

The Trolley Food Tour in Hershey was the best. Eileen was very entertaining with music and got everyone involved. The restaurants we visited the food was great and the owners stories were very inspiring - along with Eileen story of how she stated her business. We had a great time and would highly recommend this tour - you will not be sorry.

I was expecting a nice tour, but this was more than that, it was wonderful! A few of us perfect strangers got on board the trolley driven by a nice lady and within a few seconds we were strangers no more 😁. Eileen, the entertaining and very pleasant owner/operator took us to a few local eateries. We sampled many different delicious savory and sweet dishes. Interacted with the owners who told us briefly how their businesses came about. Even history of some vintage buildings the restaurants are located in. We also stopped at a chocolate candy shop, where we were gifted a cute little bag of peanut brittle 😋. I liked this food tour a lot 🤩. Highly recommend 👍.

Eileen saw a need in Hershey and filled it! We are food tour junkies and this was one of the best...especially for only being in business for 6 months!
We took the Mid-day Magic Tour, and started at the Fresh Market, a locals farmers' market. Here we sampled food and beverages from Owl Hill Provisions, Midstate Distillery, MKT Tacos, S Clive Weaver, and Seasons. My favorite was the delectable meatball sample from Owl Hill Provisions, and the chef even shared his secret ingredient!
I'm not a bourbon drinker, but the taste of bourbon at Midstate Distillery went down smooooooth and warmed my throat! The smoked bologna and cheeses from S Clive Weaver were just the savory bites we needed to balance the sweet empanadas from MKT Tacos. Finally, I wouldn't have expected to sample olive oil, but sample it we did...at Seasons...and it was excellent! Who knew there were so many different flavors of olive oil?Next, the trolley took us to nearby Hummelstown, where we continued our sugar high with Chocolates by Tina Marie and Cubby's Ice Cream. We expected nothing less in Hershey, PA!
Through it all, Eileen was attentive to our needs and offered delightful commentary and history about the areas we visited and passed through on our ride. That's what makes food tours so much fun...learning about an area while sampling food from local vendors. It's a great way to support and publicize the local economy. We highly recommend this food tour!

Yokl Trolley Tours deliver a smooth, well organized way to explore Hershey. The vintage red trolley feels comfortable and the tour routes highlight local food spots and small businesses. We value our partnership with Yokl because it strengthens the community and brings new visitors to Englewood Hershey on a regular basis. Their team stays focused on service, clear communication, and creating a fun experience for every group. Yokl adds real value to the local scene and gives out of town guests an easy way to connect with what Hershey offers. Strongly recommended!

I am a vendor (LindenBrook Shoppe) located at Fresh Market at Hershey Town Square. I’ have hosted several Yokl tours at my shoppe and worked with Eileen on many occasions. Eileen is very passionate about bringing people and the community together and sharing all of the wonderful things Hershey has to offer. Each time I’ve seen many happy and smiling people enjoying the tour. The laughs say it all.

We had the absolute pleasure of partnering with Yokl, owned and operated by the incredible Eileen, for our previous Tea & Trolley Tour—and it was nothing short of fantastic!
Eileen crafted a beautifully curated tour that highlighted some of our area’s most treasured historic buildings and long-standing local businesses. Her passion for community, storytelling, and local history truly shines through in every detail. While we were busy in the kitchen preparing the tea experience, guests enjoyed a fun round of trivia hosted by Eileen and pertaining to the historic tour—an engaging touch that kept everyone smiling and entertained.T
his collaboration between our two small businesses was seamless, professional, and genuinely enjoyable. We’re so grateful for the energy, creativity, and care that Eileen, Lulu the Trolley, and her wonderful team brought to the day.
We’re already looking forward to the next opportunity to work together. Highly, highly recommend Yokl for anyone looking to add something special, meaningful, and memorable to their event!

As the owner of I&E Craft Kitchen, we love it when Yokl brings a tour to us! Eileen always let's us know ahead of time so we can make sure we've got some great food for her tour group to sample. She's easy to work with and does a great job in showing people all those great places you need to try. If you haven't booked a Yokl tour you're missing out!! Schedule yours today and maybe we'll see you at I&E Craft Kitchen!
Joel dincher
As a small business owner, we are enjoying your wonderful Yokl tours. What a great way for Yokl customers to find unique small food establishments in the Hershey/Hummelstown area. Your tours have provided our small business a new outlet for gaining customers who may have never visited with us. We have seen many tour customers become regulars at our shop. Thank you for all your hard work putting the tours together.
Tina Marie Olaf-Lerch
As a small business owner, the best part about hosting Yokl! is how much fun it is to share a "peak behind the curtain". Not only do we offer exclusive treats to our Yokl! tour guests, but get to share the Cubby's story to folks looking to see what local small business is all about!
Jonathan Sartini
YOKL provides an exceptional food-tour experience that highlights the heart of local small businesses. Their tours consistently bring new customers into the market and help introduce people to vendors they might otherwise miss. Working with Eileen is always a pleasure — she is professional, kind, and constantly goes the extra mile to support us. Highly recommend!

Savor the Season Food Tour sponsored by YOKL, was the perfect way to spend a Friday afternoon. As a Hershey resident, I thoroughly enjoyed the food tasting of the hand-picked restaurants. The food prepared was amazing and the information provided by the tour guide was both very useful and interesting. I would highly recommend this food tour to all Hershey and surrounding area residents. Additionally, all visiting friends from afar would enjoy this food tour to learn about the culture of Hershey. Be prepared to have a spectacular time and have a full belly when finished.
Mister Dave
Eileen and her husband took us on a wonderful tour of select Hershey eateries. They included: Parkside Hotel, Owl Hill, MKT tacos, Grove's Homemade candy, The Mill, and The Chocolate Avenue Grill.
The info, guidance, local historical culture, quality, and quantity could not be beat! There was a nicely diverse selection of feel-good foods that almost everyone would enjoy. If you're a local or just here for a bit, this is a great way to get acquainted with some of the local restaurants. You will love this food tour.
molly nylander
Had an amazing time on our food tour with Yokl. Eileen is a wonderful host and tour guide.
Stephen Umberger
Eileen provided an unexpectedly awesome tour! It was an intimate experience, getting a behind the curtain peak at some of our favorite locations. She is passionate about showcasing fantastic establishments that contribute and give back to the local community.
I would highly recommend going on a Yokl tour, even if you are familiar with the area. Really opened our eyes.
Gwen Zander
As a lifelong Hershey/Hummelstown resident, I wasn’t sure I’d learn much from this tour, but I loved the concept and it seemed like a fun way to spend an afternoon and decided to give it a go. I’m so glad I did- what a treat! Whether you’re new to the area, just passing through, or have been here for decades, this tour is a wonderful way to get out and connect with people while enjoying some of the best bites Hershey has to offer. The food was delicious at every stop, and it was a great value, leaving us all with full bellies. It was wonderful to meet and speak with some of the business owners feeding our community. They all have such interesting stories to share, and we are lucky to have them here! Getting to know our tour group companions was an added bonus. Wishing Eileen and Braxton much success as Yokl continues to grow and evolve.
Sue Maloney
We did an afternoon Yokl tour this past weekend and had a wonderful time! Eileen is a fantastic hostess, and Bob was a terrific trolley driver.
A Yokl tour is perfect for everyone. We are locals and learned the story of different places in our community. The other groups on our tour also included a bridal party and a family from out of state.
If you're thinking about doing a Yokl tour, do it! You won't regret it. Whether you're a local, a visitor, or it's a special occasion, you will have a fabulous time supporting local. :)
Kelly ODonnell
What a wonderful experience this was! Not only did we go to great restaurants/eateries and have great food; We got to meet the owners and chefs who were so passionate about their craft! And The owner and tour guide was so full of energy. She made the trolley ride such a great experience. I would definitely do this again!
Mindy Bishop
I wasn’t sure what to expect but was looking forward to trying something new and it was better than I expected! We had several stops along the way with some amazing food but the fun continued in between the stops with some singing and dancing (and the amazing host was having fun right along with us)! Each stop we learned something new about the restaurant and got to try some great food from places I didn’t know existed! Don’t hesitate on getting a fun group together and coordinating a great day with Yokl!
If you're looking for an unforgettable food adventure in Hershey, PA, look no further than the newly launched Yokl food tour! From start to finish, this experience exceeded all expectations, and I cannot recommend it enough. My husband and I joined the tour, and it was the perfect date night—though honestly, it's great for any occasion, whether it’s a group of friends, a bachelorette party, or out-of-town guests wanting to explore the local food scene.
The tour started at the Hershey History Center, where we met our wonderful guide, Eileen, the owner of Yokl. She was not only knowledgeable but also brought so much fun energy to the experience. Throughout the tour, she gave us fascinating insights into the history of Hershey, and at each stop, we were treated to a special presentation from the owner or manager of the featured business. This personal touch really made the tour feel like a community affair.
The food stops were phenomenal! We began at Parksisde Hotel, where we indulged in incredible pit beef sandwiches and crispy wings—what a way to kick things off! From there, we made our way to Fresh Market, a charming little spot with a variety of local vendors. We stopped at Owl Hill for mouthwatering meatballs and then ventured to MKT Tacos, where we enjoyed street tacos and horchata. Each stop was uniquely Hershey, showcasing the rich diversity and spirit of the town.
We continued our culinary journey with some delicious peanut brittle at Groves, and then made our way to The Mill for an amazing dinner featuring brisket nachos and house-made hummus. The presentation was absolutely stunning, and every dish was packed with flavor. The grand finale was at Chocolate Avenue Grill, where we were treated to the most heavenly peanut butter pie ever—truly to die for!
What truly sets this tour apart is not just the incredible food but the sense of community and connection with local business owners. Each stop felt like an intimate experience, and you could tell these small businesses are a treasured part of the Hershey community.
This food tour is a 10/10 experience—whether you're a foodie, a local, or just visiting Hershey, this tour will give you a taste of the town like no other. The combination of amazing food, great people, and a knowledgeable, fun guide like Eileen made this an evening to remember. Highly recommend for couples, friends, or anyone looking to discover the culinary gems of Hershey!
