Amish Experience Visit-In-Person Tour

The tour was very informative. We very much enjoyed meeting and interacting with the Amish people. Tom, the guide/driver, was very personable and knowledgeable.

The tour was excellent. I knock it down one star because the tour took over 3 hours and there are no planned comfort stops (bathroom breaks) scheduled. For us senior citizens, this is "no bueno".

The tour guide was amazing. I learned so much. I would very much like to do that again. I highly recommend.

It was a wonderful experience and so educational.

The Amish VIP experience offered some interesting stops, but overall it didn’t deliver the immersive or authentic feel I was hoping for—and it didn’t feel like good value for the money. The blacksmith visit was decent and worth seeing, though a few of the people left during our time there, which made it feel a bit incomplete. The farm stop was pleasant enough, but it didn’t stand out from a regular farm visit you could do on your own. The stop at the family’s home was the most awkward part. Instead of learning much about their way of life, we found ourselves being asked more questions (where we were from, what we do, etc.) than we got answers. It felt uncomfortable and one-sided rather than a genuine cultural exchange. I’m glad I got a small glimpse into Amish life, but the overall experience felt underwhelming and not worth the premium price for a “VIP” tour. A more balanced, informative interaction would have made a big difference.

Tom was the best tour guide, we had an excellent visit. It was really instructuive and interesting ! Thanks again !

The admission fee was reasonable. Perfect length of time - 3 hours. Size of group was perfect. This tour was strongly recommended by our hosts at the E.J. Bowman House - Bed and Breakfast - Scott and Diane. They were not wrong as we found the event educational as well as entertaining. Our guide was outstanding and "filled in the blanks" to questions that were not asked. The families visited were so nice and informative. They were more than open to any question asked. Thank you so much and I strongly encourage others to participate in The Amish Experience.

It was a lovely experience. The three venues was a good idea. The farmer was very informative. The leather shop Keeper was not as informative and the fact that we were directed to his store at the beginning made us feel like we were expected to buy something. The older couple in their home were lovely people but they did not volunteer information. They responded to questions but it would have been nice if they would have spoken openly about their lifestyle, their daily lives, or their faith. There were many moments of silence when we as a group were kind of waiting for them to speak until we realized that we needed to ask questions instead.

I really enjoyed the tour. It was amazing. Gave me a better knowledge of the Amish people. Everyone was so nice and the tour guide was excellent.

Jim was wonderful , very knowledgeable
