This was a worthwhile activity. Phil is very knowledgeable. He began with a brief city tour and then took us to the countryside to an Amish creamery and farm. I would only add the following: to do a full Lancaster experience, take a guided tour of the city from City Hall or do the self guided tour. There is a lot of history embedded in this city. Secondly, visit the Amish Village; although touristy, you will get a sense of how they live ,which is a very good backdrop for this tour. Thirdly, if you have time, drive into the countryside for a few hours to experience the beautiful scenery-I recommend route 741 east of Strasburg. There isn't enough time on this tour to fully appreciate the scenery.

I still cannot believe how much I learned in just one hour 1/2. I love how Phil designed the tour to begin at the heart of Lancaster and to spiral out, visiting the different properties and farms of Amish country (and sharing a lot of his own personal memories of growing up in this world). Phil is a natural historian whose tour is multi-faceted and engaging. This afternoon was one of the highlights of our family's summer. We will probably go back in the Fall to try the Amish dinner experience.
