Our tour guide Robin was dressed in period costume and was filled with interesting nuggets of information regarding the history of Lititz and the surrounding area; she was personable, friendly and knowledgeable! The tour was an easy walk on flat surfaces with several places to rest along the way, if needed. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a brief introduction to the history and buildings of the quaint town!

A treasure trove of information and original items! Do yourself a favor and take the tour. Cross your fingers and hope you get Bob!! He's fantastic!

My docent, Corey was a courteous, engaging, articulate, and profoundly knowledgeable tour guide who through his detailed description of not only the residents who lived and worked specifically at the Johannes Mueller House but also of how the Moravian culture has been able to sustain itself for almost three hundred years, made me appreciate the historic relevance of the Lititz community.

Grandma and granddaughter visited last week. Great experience, friendly employees and super guide!
