When you are in Philadelphia, it's worth making time to go to Amish country for the day. It was a good value for the money. Pickup was on time and easy to get to as it is centrally located; I could walk from my hotel.
Tom was my tour guide; you will be lucky to have him as your guide. He is personable, knowledgeable, and somewhat of a history buff, making learning more about the area exciting and interesting. If you have something specific you are interested in seeing, Tom will be more than happy to tailor the tour to meet your desires. I wanted to go off the beaten path a bit and see where the local Amish shopped. He took me to a lovely family working farm where the family runs a general store. It's a must.
The tour has a nice pace. It started at the Amish Village; this was a great way to start; it gave me just enough history of the Amish and their way of life to begin my adventure, and Tom was able to fill in a lot of extra details on the area. After the Amish Village tour, we did some shopping and sightseeing and stopped at Sara Faye's Soft Pretzels. It's a must-try; it's soft, warm, and buttery. I see why Tom bought some to bring back to his friends. We ended the tour with lunch at the Hershey Inn Grand Smorgasbord, and you will get your money's worth there, as well as try some local cuisine, like Amish filling and PA Dutch ham balls.
We had a little extra time, and Tom ensured I got my money's worth. He took his time driving me back to the drop-off. He pointed out other points of interest in the area and gave me an overview of the constitutional walk tour. I highly recommend booking a constitutional walking tour with him through his company.
