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.

Can't recommend LoKal Experiences highly enough!! We took the Unique Amish Immersion Tour and Mike was just overflowing with information - history, culture, trivia, so great! The van is really nice, he has ear pieces so everyone can hear and ask questions without a problem, we went to off the beaten path Amish farms and business such as Down on the Farm Creamery which had the best ice cream I've ever had!!! Really great tour for kids and adults alike!!

Mike was a very engaging tour guide who provided lots of information about the Amish community while taking us to real houses where he was friends with the owners. We saw a dairy farm, many barns and stables , and had some amazing ice cream and soft pretzels (which he paid for, as a nice gesture). We highly recommend this tour !

We greatly enjoyed this tour as we traveled areas away from the typical touristy spots. All our questions were thoughtfully answered by locals and Amish alike. The occasional stops to explore and learn were a nice touch. And having incredibly tasting ice cream at a dairy farm didn’t hurt either. The tour was a highlight for us and our 10-year old alike. We will seek out other tour offerings from LoKal in the future.
