Great, well rounded introduction to Lancaster County

5.00Fantastic and well balanced tour of downtown Lancaster and Amish country, including an ice cream stop! Our guide Moses was very pleasant, genuine and knowledgeable. Despite inclement weather and an Amish holiday, the tour proceeded as planned and he was accommodating to our young children. The tour was a great value and length of time and I would highly suggest it to others looking to get an introduction to the city's history and architecture and of the Amish way of life.

5.00Moses our tour guide was incredible! He was able to share a wealth of historical and architectural information with us on our walking tour on King Street and a few streets off. We had a nice drive to an Amish farm and enjoyed delicious ice cream. I would do this to her again and highly recommend it!

Downtown Lancaster and Amish Countryside

5.00When I signed up for this tour I thought we were just going to see the Amish countryside and the Amish people, but the tour was much more than that. We started with a walking tour of downtown Lancaster. Our tour guide was Moses and he was fabulous. We learned so many interesting historical facts about the buildings and people of Lancaster. After a short walking tour we hopped on the bus and took a drive through beautiful Amish countryside and even stopped at an Amish farm and had an ice cream cone. A tour worth a try!!
Excellent Addition To Your Trip
