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!

The tour was very informative and full of details. Jamie was very knowledgeable and personable. We weren't expecting to spend so much time in the van. Pulling up to a historical site and listening to the story behind it but not getting out to actually see it was a bummer. We also kind of felt we were going to visit all of his friends, It was just a bit weird with that par/

Thanks for the review. We're happy to hear you enjoyed the guide and information. Sorry you felt that the relationships we have with our private Amish partners was strange. It is something we are proud of and gives our guests access that would not otherwise be available.
