A Different Kind of Walking Tour

Stories You Can Feel

Real people. Real events. Real places. Shared as living stories, not timelines or fact lists. You leave with stories you will retell, not just sites you checked off.

Unrushed. Small Group. Easy to Enjoy.

These walks move at a natural pace, with time to look around, ask questions, and take it all in. Small groups make it easier to hear, see, and stay connected to the story.

See What Most Visitors Miss

Beyond landmarks and plaques, you uncover the lesser-known stories, local legends, and surprising moments most people walk right past.

This is hands down the best historical tour we have ever been on (and we have done quite a few). And it is all because of the guide! This fantastic speaker wove together extensive historical fact, deep personal knowledge of the area, and a super-engaging/conversational style. All complimented by an array of carefully chosen vantage points, graphics, and photographs. Lantern Tours is doing something different, and better, and more funI I can’t recommend them enough.

Want the town to yourselves? Private tours give you a dedicated guide, your own pace, and stories shaped around your group — starting at $350 for up to 6. Perfect for celebrations, family visits, or anyone who'd rather not share the walk with strangers.
