Take this tour!!!!

Carla_W, Dec 2021

Learning about how Lancaster played such a big role in abolitionist history, breweries, and also its beautiful diverse architecture. Mike was a great guide. Informative, friendly & knowledgable. He “got” our group and made it a really enjoyable afternoon. Highly recommend and would take this tour again.

Great tour. We enjoyed seeing the preserved excavation area inside the Marriott, walking through a section of old town and hearing about the history of Lancaster and the beer. Tour guide was very knowledgeable and answered all of our questions. We highly recommend!

Great history tour with craft beer

Laura_R, Nov 2020

This was a great walking tour to understand the history of Lancaster. I would highly recommend it if you’re interested in how the city began and became what it is today. We also stopped at two pubs with a large selection of craft beers to choose from. The beers were delicious. I would recommend this tour for anyone who’s interested in the history of Lancaster that is not just about the Amish. The tour guide also was a local and extremely knowledgeable. Everyone wore masks and were socially distance.

Thanks Laura! Much appreciated. Mike

I had so much fun on this tour. Mike was very knowledgeable about the history of Lancaster and where to find excellent craft beer. We went to two breweries and I enjoyed both of them. I would highly recommend this tour.
