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!

Ronks

Shop where the Amish shop, not the tourists. Natural food stores are a staple for the Amish and we will go to an out of the way gem, for an up close look at this Amish run business.

What a well-rounded experience we enjoyed in this over 3-hour small-group (large van/small bus) tour of the beautiful "Pennsylvania Dutch Country" of Lancaster County. Our driver/tour guide, Steve is a "local" with a wealth of knowledge of the area and the culture of the Amish people. The homes, farms and businesses of the people we were learning about, and the people themselves who were willing to share parts of their lives with us were well-chosen as the means to aid in our "immersion" in this area. We were traveling as a couple. However this activity is ine for any age.

It was a very informative and pleasant trip. Michael the guide was from the area and took us to farms, dairy, ice cream shop, and a pleasant drive. Only 4 of us with him and was like going to visit his personal friends. Saw newborn colts, gardens, wonderful children and Amish families, beautiful homes and Amish architecture. Pretty expensive, but very worthwhile. Lots of local history and stories
