Tour guide brought history to life! - Our tour guide was awesome with an obvious enthusiasm for history. As we learned, he was a local teacher and so his oration skills were strong in recreating historical scenes.

Great Ghost Tour - Our guide had a wealth of information about history in Lancaster. He also had a sense of humor and lots of patience. Although he had to deal with lots of traffic noise, he persisted.

Great stories, but wouldn’t recommend for people that can’t walk fast - Our tour guide was very informative and we loved that the stories are based on real people. The tour guide was loud, so everyone could hear. The only dislikes were there were elderly people in our group, that couldn’t keep up with the pace of our tour guide and he didn’t wait until the group was all together before starting the story.

Historical Tour - I would rename the tour to a historical tour instead of a ghost tour due to all the information in the places visited

Interesting ghost tour - Tour guide was very nice, good storyteller and you could tell she was very passionate about what she does . The highlight of the tour was being brought by the church yard which I found was interesting. If there is a way to go into the church yard to see the gravestones of those the stories are being told about - that would just add an extra bonus to the tour. My only suggestion is to end the tour where it starts to help those who are not familiar with the area.
