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.

Wonderful tour! Mike is incredibly knowledgeable. We learned so much. Visiting Amish family farms and dairies was a great way to see this beautiful area and learn about another culture. Highly recommend.

We're happy to hear you enjoyed the experience and your guide. As for the brakes, the van completed and passed Pennsylvania state inspection one month ago in September - including brakes. They do sometimes make a bit of a noise depending on moisture and amount of weight in the van. There is no safety issue, but even so, we would be happy to be without the noise and will be having them checked very soon. Thanks for the feedback.

Very informative and we liked being away from other tourists. This tour took us to homes of the Amish who were all very welcoming to allow us to look at their beautiful properties. The ice cream was loved by all! The guide was very good but should have had a microphone for the people in the back of the van could hear a little better.

Well, it doesn't get any better than the best you've ever had! Thanks for the great review and we will make sure the volume is turned up for our guests in the back.
