Great tour with a great tour guide - Spent a wonderful day with our guide, Dale, and another couple in Amish Country. Pick up at the meeting point was prompt & then we were off to Lancaster County. We stopped at The Amish Village for a tour that included photo opportunities w/ the buggies, animals, & scenery (photos were ok here). Lunch was at a local smorgasbord. Afterward, we were able to stop at local Amish businesses along the way (goat milk farm, leather shop, fabric store, pretzel/snack stand, & a wood making shop) to see Amish life in real time. I felt like each stop was the just the right amount of time & never felt rushed. Dale was very knowledgeable about the county & definitely knew where all the good snacks were (try the pretzels). If like the feeling of having a friend showing you around their city then this tour is for you!

Amish Tour - Dale is a wonderful guide. He was personable and informative. He gave us an incredible amount of information about the Amish people. We saw lots of family farms and shops. He seemed to know a lot of the shop owners and introduced us. It made the experience feel more personal. We would definitely recommend Dale!

Amish day tour with Alex… - A GREAT experience with an even greater tour guide! Alex was so very informative, intuitive and patient while driving and guiding us through the Lancaster countryside. Super informative with lots of stops for shopping and eating the local Amish wares. I learned as much during the one-way hour and a half car ride as I had anticipated learning during the whole day. A wonderful experience with a small intimate group which was better than expected. Thank you, Alex!

If You’re Going to Visit Amish Country, THIS is Your Tour - Tom was very knowledgeable from the big picture info about the Amish to specific things about the families and business in Lancaster County. He has evidently fostered relationships with many in the community which made the experience extra-enjoyable. It seemed like we were just visiting there with an old friend rather than a tour guide we had just met.
