5.00Barry was a great guide, who provided lots of useful context and perspectives. The full day trip was incredibly well paced and went by fast. The drive to Lancaster was well spent with explanation and preparation for what we would be seeing. The trip included a visit to the Amish Village museum, a small animal farm, and stops at several local shops. We also stopped for lunch at a delicious Amish-owned diner.
Great Day Trip

5.00Great day trip! We had a wonderful time driving out to Lancaster County. We stopped at several Amish owned businesses, and got to try samples and tour a few. Dale was an excellent guide and very knowledgeable about the Amish community. He knew each business owner or operator by name. Jason tagged a long and was a great addition. I would definitely recommend this tour and company.
Book this tour!!!
