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!

Barry was a great tour guide from start to finish. My 12 year old daughter and I felt safe as we traveled by a small van. We learned a lot about the history of Philadelphia and the Amish during our ride to Lancaster and back. We enjoyed our stops in Amish Country that allowed us to view the landscape, farms, and shops --- as well as interact with the people. Lunch was a great stop; we got to experience a buffet --- a good feast. Everything was timed well and Barry went out of his way to make sure everyone had a great experience.

Seeing the Amish way of life was very informative. The homes were much larger than I expected and extremely nice. Loved seeing all the animals. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. I would have liked more time in the stores. That time seemed very rushed and we got back a little earlier than I expected. All in all it was a great experience.
Great guide, fun stops, and learned so much along the way!
