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.

There are no scares, so... - There are no scares, so if you're looking for a thrill this isn't for you. The tour was very easy to walk, although the group was sizable (24? people), but our guide Jason took care to keep the group together. He was an excellent storyteller, telling the local legends and a little real history. We enjoyed this little venture. Thanks, Jason 😊

Update review to "Waste of time" - This is an update to a previous review. Contacted the host and was informed the tour was cancelled due to the "protests". Apparently, there was a text message that was sent out informing people. Sorry for the earlier review and hope in the future we have an opportunity to try again.

Waste of time! - Will be asking for a refund! Arrived 15 minutes early and the waited 15 minutes after scheduled tour. NO one showed up to host nor did I receive any notification that it may have been cancelled. Add in the street people in Penn Square and it was an absolute joke! Do not book!
