Dale was a great driver and a wealth of history. Very informative. We had the most delicious meal at an Amish farm. Wonderful hostess. Want to come back! It’s a must to do!
The whole experience was amazing—very informative and interesting. The place we visited for the tour and lunch was wonderful; the host was so sweet, and the food was amazing. Dale, our tour guide, was extremely knowledgeable and a captivating storyteller. He made the entire experience even more enjoyable and memorable.
Sandy is an excellent guide to Ammish culure and bridging between mainstream USA culture and the Ammish culture. The Sara family was very kind and the food delicious. Normally I don't like this type of activity but I learned very much and the experience was well organized and conducted. My only gripe is that downtown pickup/ dropoff should be possible.
Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled to hear that Sandy made such a great impression and helped provide a meaningful understanding of Amish culture and its differences from mainstream American life. We’re also so glad you enjoyed your time with Sarah’s family and the delicious home-cooked meal! It means a lot to hear that, even though this isn’t normally the type of activity you would choose, you found the experience interesting, educational, and well organized. We also truly appreciate your feedback regarding a downtown pickup and drop-off option. Guest suggestions like yours are incredibly valuable as we continue looking for ways to improve the experience. Thank you for joining us during your visit to Lancaster County!
Sit down meal with an Amish family was awesome! Wish we had also stopped at one of the quilt houses.

This was a wonderful experience. Our tour guide was very personable and we enjoyed his tour. Our meal and visit at the Amish house was a highlight of our trip. The hostess served a very tasty meal.

Enjoyed a nice bus ride through Amish country while our tour guide, Dave, answered questions and imparted to us the lifestyle of the local Amish. Had a wonderful lunch prepared by a local Amish family such as bread, Meatloaf, veggies, dessert and more! Enjoyed conversation with other participants in the tour as well as our host family and our tour guide. Would definitely do it again, there are multiple host families.
Moses was a friendly and knowledgeable guide and hostess Sarah and her children were a joy to meet. Thank you for welcoming us into your home.
