Very informative. Great hospitality. Tour guide Jamie was especially helpful and shared such great info on the history of the Amish. Visiting the barns and homes were great handson experiences with dairy cows, horses and mules.

Our tour guide, Dale, was very knowledgeable about the Amish and the history of the area. He is a native of the area and a retired History teacher. The countryside is so beautiful and the homes and properties are remarkable.

    Amish Farm tours

    Joan_R, Nov 2025
    The Amish tour was one of the best tours that I have been on. Our guide Dale was extremely helpful with history and knowledge of the Lancaster area, that included the beginning from when the Amish came to America, to their every day present living, culture. We were lucky enough to visit working farms, see schools, hear about culture, and even had homemade ice cream from jersey cows milk. I highly recommend this tour, the 3 hours went way too fast.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you so much for the review and for the ringing endorsement. We appreciate it.

    Very positive experience!

    William_S, Oct 2025
    This is definitely a tour to take. We have visited Lancaster many times and taken numerous tours but this was the most informative. Each of us were given an ear piece so we were always able to hear what Moses was saving. Moses was very informative and answered all questions asked. Excellent job, Moses.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thanks so much! Moses is truly an asset to our customers and our business. We appreciate you giving him his due. We also appreciate the review and rating.

    Highly recommend

    Jennifer_W, Oct 2025
    It was very informative and easy. The meeting spot was easy to find and there wasn't a huge amount of walking involved. My guide Moses was very helpful and polite. I learned a lot.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    That's the goal! Thanks for the nice and thoughtful review.

    Review for Amish Country Tour

    Pam_D, Oct 2025
    Moses was the best tour guide! Very informative and kept us entertained with stories. He had a good relationship at some of the farms, so we truly got to speak with the people that live there, who were very friendly. Highly recommend this tour!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    We appreciate the recommendation and the review. Thank you for booking the experience and taking time to share your impressions of it with others.

    A Great Tour

    Delores_N, Oct 2025
    We took the 2:30 tour & it does not include a meal. I thought it did. They will get ice cream on 2:30 & meal on 8:30. Our tour guide was excellent. It was a great history lesson & up close views of homes, churches & a dairy farm in working progress.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thanks for the review. In the interest of clarity, this particular experience (Unique Amish Immersion) does not include a meal at either the 8:30 or 2:30 start time. We do have the Tour and Meal with The Amish that is a meal at an Amish property.

    Wonderful beautiful fun tour of Amish country side

    Esmargolis1, Sep 2025
    Dale, our guide, was excellent. . He has spent most of his life living in the area and has personal relationships with many Amish people, including the owners of the farms we visited. He had a thorough knowledge of the culture, traditions and way of life of the Amish. He had a wealth of information about the history of religion, especially of the Mennonites and Amish and how they made their way to America. We learned so much. He was professional, kind and very pleasant. We would definitely do another tour with him.

    We had a great experience on this tour. Our tour guide Dale was one of the best guides we have ever encountered. His knowledge of the area and local people was vast. If I ever go to this area again I would try to go on another tour with Dale.

    Knowledgeable tour guide - beware of the dog

    Pamela_T, Sep 2025
    The tour guide, who was born in the area, was informative and complete with cultural differences between the Amish and Mennonites and their everyday life. We visited 3 farms and saw families working on the farms complete with ploughs and laundry on the line. We had a nice stop at an Amish bakery and had a delicious, complimentary ice cream cone! The last stop needs to be rethought. Our guide had alerted us about any dogs on the property and told us not to get near one in particular. Unfortunately, this dog had a barking fit and lunged at one of the guests when she walked by. Then I walked by and she took a bite on the back of my leg. I didn’t purpose getting close but simply joining the group. The Amish family was nice to help put a bandage on with salve. *I think the tour should rethink this farm if there are temperamental animals. The company should verify that every first aid kit be stocked with supplies which theirs was not. After the tour I had to spend time seeking treatment, complete with a tetanus shot, and missing a dinner reservation l had planned while in the area.

    Response from Host, Sep 2025

    We are so sorry this happened. I know it's not likely to help, but this has not happened before in probably a thousand visits to this property. That said, we will take your feedback seriously and will be reaching out directly to you. Thank you for your balanced review even in the light of what happened.

    Worth it!

    Neo_H, Aug 2025
    Learned a lot about Amish Culture and history. If I have the second chance, I will go for the one with lunch or dinner with Amish family. That one is much better I think.
