What To Expect

Strasburg

Stop at the farm where the Academy Award winning movie "Witness" was filmed. You will have a chance to tour the beautiful Amish farm which remains much as it was in the movie, interact with their many animals and possibly meet the wonderful Amish family who owns the farm. This is a completely private stop and not available to the public. We will stop at a private and beautiful Amish home, where the kids make birdhouses. Witness Amish craftsmanship up close in the artisan stable and barn - and purchase a birdhouse if you like.

Paradise

Tour of an operating, private Amish dairy farm dating back to 1830's

Amish Country

We will take a driving tour through beautiful Lancaster County farmland and learn about the history, culture, religion, and education of the Amish. We will see buildings associated with the very first European settlers from more than 300 years ago, covered bridges, 19th century mills, and more on our way to our first stop.

Strasburg

Stop at an Amish owned and operated creamery, where your ice cream is included, and the views are free too. This is ice cream as it should be... rich, fresh, and delicious!

We had a wonderful afternoon with Mike. We took a beautiful drive through the Lancaster countryside and saw farms, Amish buggies and so much more, highlighted by interesting and historical information. We visited with two lovely Amish families and got a feel for their day to day life. We had delicious Amish made ice cream at one stop and very yummy soft pretzels at another. The tour felt personal and authentic; not at all commercial. I would highly recommend this tour.

This tour is a must do if you are in the Lancaster area. The guide will tell you in detail about the history of the Amish and their current way of life. You will also take a look at some of the Amish farms. Really very interesting.
