Historic Lancaster Walking Tour, Corp.
Established in 1976
Celebrating our 49th Year
Review
We spent an engaging couple of hours walking through downtown Lancaster learning about Lancaster's rich history and marveling at the well-preserved architecture. There's an interesting tale or two to tell going back to colonial times including a lot of goings on during the Civil War. Lancaster played an important part in the Underground Railroad during the 19th century. It was even the nation's capitol for one day! Many of the public buildings, churches and private homes are still used and a well-informed guide can point them out.
I would love to know where to leave a review. I took a tour with Susan Adams this morning and it was one of the best tours I’ve ever been on. She is so knowledgeable and the tour was quite fascinating. Her stories and historical accounts made it very special.
Thanks for a morning well spent!
Mark makes​ a wonderful presentation. Interesting. Engaging. Informative. Fascinating to learn more on the history of Lancaster. Equally so the people & ideas originating across the location.
Look forward to joining in a future session – with friends.

We are a family from France visiting the North East coast of the US. We want to thank You for the quality of your tourism welcome. We came, last Tuesday, for a day in Lancaster, without having preparing our trip. The person at the Welcome Center gave us all the usefull advices and information. It was very efficient and welcoming. A great « Welcome ! ».
We then decided to go for lunch at the central market and joined after that, at 1 pm, a historical tour of the city : it was super great. The guide was very good and taught us a lot about local architecture and history. We enjoy learning how it was related to the country history. The guide even managed to catch our teenagers attention !It is the best touristic tour we had so far during our trip.
So we want to address You a big Thank You : you are good at welcoming people and sharing your history. Thanks a lot !
" We would never have located all of these interesting places without our guide."
"Lancaster City is a best kept secret."
