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.

When you ask each member of our family (ages 11-78) what their most favorite part of our recent vacation (6 days split between Philly, Lancaster, Gettysburg, and Hershey) was it would be this tour. I had read all the previous reviews and knew it would be good, but it was 100 times better than I even expected. Getting to stop and tour 3 different Amish family’s properties, meeting the parents and children whose kindness towards us was amazing, and having a knowledgeable tour guide (Mike) that shared so much about the Amish community was beyond fantastic. We all enjoyed the ice cream shop stop - quite sure it’s the creamiest ice cream we’ve ever had. Ending the tour at a little Amish market was the cherry on top. We were able to purchase souvenirs, jams, and delicious desserts. The fried cream pies are a must! We bought one, tried it, and promptly went back to purchase more. All in all, I can’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re debating between a couple different tour options, as I was, choose this one. You’ll not be disappointed!

Very good. Mike is so knowledgeable and respectful of his customers and the Amish. We had a great experience - up close and right on their farms.
