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.

It was a great experience, and the small group size format made it feel intimate. Mike was very knowledgable and friendly. All of our interactions at every stop gave us a lot of insight that we will never forget.

Visiting Amish farms and meeting Amsih people, especially children is our favourite the trip. Mike, our tour guide is very knowledgeable about Amish culture. He gave some interesting stories about his Amish friends.

I did LoKal's Amish Immersion tour over Labor Day weekend and could not be more pleased. Mike was a terrific guide/driver. Having grown up in the area, he was extremely knowledgeable about Amish/Mennonite history and the communities in the area, and was generous with information, answering all of our questions and sharing personal anecdotes. The families/business we visited were also very welcoming and the treats - ice cream and soft pretzels - were especially good! The vehicle was clean/comfortable and the equipment in good condition. All around a great tour that I would recommend without reservations.
