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 pleasure to visit Amish farms and learn more about the lifestyle of the Amish and Mennonites (not the same, as we learned on the tour!). Steve was a terrific tour guide. He was friendly and knowledgeable, and his respect for the Amish really came through. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to learn more about the Amish community and lifestyle.

Our guide Steve Miller had a great relationship with the families and has been learning local and Amish history his entire life as a historian and museum curator. What a blessing to get him as a tour guide in Amish country! We had a wonderful trip, in depth discussions, and we learned so much on this experience. Book it! You won't regret it!

We took our 3 grandchildren on this excursion. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and we enjoyed it. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars was because the children (13,13,9) would have preferred more time on the farms interacting with the Amish families. I think this excursion was geared more towards adults.

Thanks for the review. We appreciate your positive comments and your feedback regarding time on the farm for kids. It's true that the guided information about the Amish and the meal are the focus of the experience.
