Lancaster County is home to a fascinating culture nestled in the rural farmlands outside of Philadelphia. Join our tour to learn about the fascinating history and complex lifestyle of the Amish community.

Your tour starts with a ride in our comfortable van out to the idyllic countryside of Lancaster County, where horse and buggies on the roads and farmers in the fields are common sights. You will be fully immersed in their way of life with a visit to the Amish Village Museum, a preserved Amish homestead that is now open to the public.

Come with an appetite as you enjoy some homemade Amish cooking at a local restaurant. Afterwards, you'll have a chance to savor some yummy sweet treats like whoopie pies and shoo fly pies from a local bakery.

We’ll have time for stops in small towns highlighting Amish-made goods, including quilt shops and road-side stands. Best yet, you’ll have the chance to support the community with any purchases, with unique options recommended by your guide!

A Trip With Marty to the Amish Countryside

Marty was a terrific guide through terrain entirely unfamiliar to us. He offered both historical perspective and interesting details about Amish culture and experience. The trip was designed to offer a slice of everyday Amish life, from an Amish-owned toy factory, to an Amish goat farm, to an Amish harness-making shop. We even stopped by an Amish grocery store and spent way too much time perusing the offerings. We took the opportunity at each stop to purchase local goods -- although Marty went out of his way to let us know we did not have to do so -- and to ask questions about the shopkeepers' lives. The people we met were obviously fond of Marty, and it was clear he had forged real relationships over time with them, which made our experience that much richer. We ended the day with the best Pennsylvania dutch pretzels we ever had. We highly recommend this tour!

I booked a group trip but in the end it was just me. I enjoyed it from the beginning till the end. Tom, my tour guide was a really nice person, he put me at ease straight away and we had a great time together. He was very knowledgeable as well, you can tell he likes his job.
