5.00Moses was an exceptional guide. I was visiting Lancaster with my mom as it had been a long dream of hers and Moses was the perfect man for the task. He answered all of our endless questions and answered all of the thoroughly. I could not recommend this tour enough!
Great tour - Great guide

5.00My wife and I took this tour on a rainy day in April 2026. Rain notwithstanding, this was an AWESOME tour! If you like people, if you are intellectually curious, if you value culture and history then you’ll LOVE this Amish immersion tour. Our guide Moses was a fountain of knowledge and experience. I have traveled quite a bit and consider myself to be culturally literate on most things American. THIS tour humbled me. I have officially trashed my preconceived notions about the Amish that I thought I knew. I personally SAW the work ethic of Amish CHILDREN putting the average American wage earner to shame. This tour helped me understand that their attire is a personal and corporate reflection of Amish FREEDOM from American consumerism (and narcissism). This tour also shows that there is no LACK in the Amish community despite what American’s consider “No formal education”. If you can put your prejudices aside regarding what the “American Dream” is supposed to be, this tour may just change your life. Fyi: Wearing a set of wellies is NOT a bad idea.
Great tour

5.00We went there on 4/16/26, a non busy day, so the group was very small (only 6 ppl, a couple plus my family of 4). Dale, the tour guide is very knowledgeable and is a native from the area. He used to be a teacher. I agreed with some of the reviews that the photos are a bit deceptive and wasn't what I expected. I expected more of a "sight-seeing" with time to explore at each stop and to meet some Amish natives. However, the trip didn't disappoint. Dale was telling us all we need to know about the Amish, the area, etc and was never hesitate to answer any questions. The stops at each location was quick, the ice cream was good. The ride to the first stop was 45 minutes but Dale was talking about the history and the area while driving. It's good with adults and High School teens but definitely not with kids under 13 unless they can focus and really loves history. Overall, it's a good informative tour and Dale is 5 out of 5 stars!!
A must if you want to learn about the Amish and Mennonite ways of life

5.00We spent a half day with Dale, a local who knows and is friends with several Amish. His discussion on their origin, how they evolved over time and how they differ from the Mennonites was fascinating and well presented. We went to several farms and viewed their barns and properties. He answered our questions easily and with a full explanation. We can’t say enough about the tour.
Very nice time.

5.00Book this tour! I honestly cannot compare it to other Amish farm tours but this one is awesome. We were able to physically walk around the farms, into their barns (not their homes), meet a member or two of the Amish families, see the beautiful craftmanship of the carpentry of how those barns were built, how they work and how they run. Moses made everything very interesting and I learned a lot! And, the ice cream was heavenly! And, buy the honey mustard pretzels at the ice cream place!!! They are heavenly too!! TIP!!!---Bring enough cash because we bought a gorgeous handmade birdhouse and a child's bracelet at one of the farms. (totally optional and NO pressure!!) Plus, Moses deserved a good tip but we were a little short due to our shopping!!! So , plan better than me!!! Thanks again for understanding Moses!! You were great!
As Long as you have the Time

4.00Very informative but quite long (over three hours). Our guide, Moses, was friendly and patient. Just be ready to spend a long day traveling from farm to farm. If you are interested in Amish/Mennonite life and no nothing about it, this is a great place to learn.
