We started our walking tour punctually at 9:00 AM. Our guide, Mike was extremely thorough, thoughtful and knowledgeable. We never rushed through the trip and took time to explain all the details. We absolutely loved the experience and recommend Lokal tours for those interested in exploring the beautiful Amish countryside and learning more about the culture and history of Lancaster !

Mark, our guide was extremely knowledgeable of the history of Lancaster. He was very good. We enjoyed the whole tour but the walk through the town was our favorite.
