We wanted to maximize the limited time we had in Lancaster and decided on Lokal's Truly Authentic Lancaster Experience. We were amazed at what he packed into just a couple of hours -- all without ever feeling rushed. On the walking portion of the tour we got a taste of the history and architecture of the city and then went for a drive through the beautiful countryside as he shared insights into the Amish and Mennonite cultures. We were full of questions and Mike was more than happy to answer them all -- he truly was a delight. We were so happy with our tour we recommended Lokal to others in our group and they went on the Tour and Meal with an Amish Family -- and loved it! If we're ever in the area again we wouldn't hesitate to take any of Lokal's other tours.

The tour was great ! I had no idea Lancaster was rich with so much history and culture. The Amish visit was so informative and we were able to meet some of the Amish children, pet the horses, and even enjoy amazing ice cream that was included. I give it a 10 out of 10!

The guy Mike was super nice ans I learnt a whole lot on the tour about the history of Lancaster. We walked through the city, then drove through the countryside. I bought a birdhouse from an Amish boy named Jacob and got to eat organically raised dairy ice cream. Highly recommend it!
