Fun ladies' day out - Our tour guide Dale was so knowledgeable and fun. He really tailored the day to fit our interests. We loved that we were in a smaller van rather than a gigantic tour bus. Would totally recommend this tour!

It was an extraordinary day in Lancaster, I enjoyed everything minute of it. it. - I have to say that everything was memorable: the beauty of the village, the story of the Amish. Their way of living as a community is amazing and such an inspiration. Having Marty as tour guide was the most important part, he covered everything.

Amish Country - I had the best trip to Amish Country with my tour guide, Barry. As luck would have it, I was the only customer for today's tour which allowed for a more personalized trip. Barry is very knowledgeable about Philadelphia and the Amish. I obtained a wealth of knowledge and interesting tidbits. The ride was scenic and included different routes to and from Lancaster. Barry made it possible for me to indulge in conversations with the Amish community which added to my very memorable trip. I loved every bit of this tour! Highly recommended. If you are lucky enough to get Barry as your guide, you will not be disappointed.

Facts of the Amish community - James made the trip very enjoyable. It was a delight to be with someone that had an extensive knowledge of the Amish community. He knew some of the people in the community personally. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who may want to understand the Amish community and like me to dispel myths of things you may have heard.
