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!

What a wonderful way to see Lancaster. We had such a wonderful time on this tour, learned a lot, got to see how the Amish live and even went to the farm where Witness was filmed! I wish I had seen it again before our visit though! We stopped for some great ice cream along the way. Our guide was wonderful and I highly recommend.

Absolutely a comprehensive tour of the Amish community. Our guide, Dale, knew all the history and lots of back stories. He kept us entertained the whole tour.

Mike was an excellent tour guide who has been well affiliated with the Amish community members who knew him. He was very knowledgeable in presenting information about the tour sites as well as the Amish way of life and culture. He was able to answer any questions we had, and as a result...we learned so much. I even learned more than when I was at another nearby venue. We would highly recommend this tour to anyone! Thanks so much for sharing your knowledge, Mike. Happy holidays! Jeannie and Siena
