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.

The tour was a great experience. It was also a lot of fun as a single participant, as our group was small and therefore very personal. The insights we were given were authentic, close and a gateway to the Amish world. Our guide answered all questions competently and with a lot of knowledge and his open manner and humor made our tour a pleasant excursion. Not only farms were visited, but also important historical sites, as well as a creamery and a pretzel store! These pretzels are a piece of heaven! The Amish themselves were very friendly and treated us like guests rather than tourists. Highly recommended

Owner Mike was an informative and gracious host. He clearly enjoyed sharing his knowledge and respect for the Amish people we met (yes, we got to meet and talk with members of 3 completely different Amish families). This truly was a “unique” Amish tour. We highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to know how the Amish really live and not just get the cookie cutter version.
