5.00We loved this tour. Britney was a fabulous guide. She was so knowledgeable and fun. We loved that it was a small group. The size of the group allowed us to fit in more things than you could in a large group. Visiting the Amish farm was great but actually shopping in the shops where actual families live was a wonderful w as y to learn about their lives.
A fantastic day

5.00Dale was extremely pleasant, informative and helpful. His van was clean, modern, comfortable and pleasant to ride in. Dale provided so much information about what we were seeing. There was only five of us on this tour and it was a pleasant group mixed with Americans and Australians. Dale took us to a great spot for lunch called Dienner’s where we could choose the buffet or order off the menu. The visit to the Amish village was very interesting and Dale’s established relationship with the residents helped us understand and enjoy the community.
