My husband and I went on this tour last week. To make it covid safe, we drove our car and connected with Mike's phone via our Bluetooth. He took us on a short drive through some of the highlights of Lancaster on our way to Sarah's house for lunch. We were greeted by our hostess and a spread for a king. She made the best fried chicken I have ever had. Delicious meatloaf, mashed potatoes, vegetables, homemade bread, apple pie and ice cream. Sarah and Mike ate with us and Sarah answered many questions about Amish life. As indicated in other reviews, she did play the harmonica for us and is quite talented. They have a small farm and apparently in better weather, she has a massive garden. We would definitely do this for again. Sarah was a wonderful hostess and Mike was a terrific tour guide.

Food was great, and was amazing to have an actual conversation with an Amish person! Host was generous and it was fascinating to see a life so different from my own. The tour was informative and interesting. And, if you're considering taking it during COVID as we did, it was very safe and no chance of spreading with the precautions our tour guide took.
