A wonderful tour! Lots of informative conversations and fun. The tour leader was great and very nice/helpful. We visited several Amish farms and had some delicious ice cream. Lots of history and beautiful countryside to see and enjoy. Our 14 year old granddaughter went with us and enjoyed it immensely! Thanks again!

I had a wonderful time and learned a lot on this tour. Jaime was a fantastic guide. He answering everybody's questions and made it easy to understand the culture. We never felt rushed at any of our stops, and the ice cream was very good. I also had an opportunity to meet the owner Mike, and he was very friendly also. I would highly recommend this tour. If you are looking to go into somebody's home and tour it, this tour does not do that. I noticed that that was an issue for some reviewers, but you should keep in mind that it is somebody's home. Would you want several bus loads of strangers traipsing through your home a couple of times a day? This was perfect! And we did get the opportunity to talk with a couple of Amish children at one of our stops. :)

Had a very informative tour. We could not have asked for more. Dale was extremely knowledgeable, very personable, and answered all of our sometimes silly questions. Would definitely take another one of you tours especially if it was with Dale. Thanks so much for the great experience.

What a great tour! I thought I knew a lot about the Amish, but I discovered on this tour how many false notions I held. Our guide, a local who was born in Lancaster, was very knowledgeable. Rather than going to tourist attractions, we visited actual homes where Amish live and work. The Amish people we encountered were very friendly and answered our questions. I have a much better understanding now of how the Amish live and why they choose to live as they do. You simply don't know what you don't know!

Our tour host was very knowledgeable and narrated our tour wonderfully! Provided ear sets to each of us so we could hear him. Beautiful area, nice people!

Cynthia_R

We had a wonderful time! Very informative and we learned much about the area and the people who share it from our tour guide Sandi. Our favorite stop was an Amish family’s garden and handicrafts store. We enjoyed meeting the people whose love and care went into the baked and canned goods we bought to take home. Well worth what we spent!

Very in-depth tour. Immersion means immersion! Four farms, including an ice cream stop. Lots of detailed information, but I suggest that one book be read prior to tour. Local library can serve this purpose. Have your questions ready.

Dale told the history and family stories to the experience. He knows the area and families in the area. He grew up in the area and has local knowledge. Thank you
