Designed for travelers seeking genuine connection and authentic experiences, this tour offers an unparalleled opportunity to gain a deeper understanding of the Amish community through the relationships we've built over many years. Our trusted partnerships with local Amish families and businesses allow us to share experiences with them. Your journey begins with a scenic drive through Lancaster County's beautiful farmland as one of our knowledgeable local guides brings the region's history to life. Learn how the Amish and Mennonites first settled in Pennsylvania, why they came, and how their faith continues to shape their way of life today. Along the way, you'll gain insight into Amish traditions, education, family life, farming, religion, and the values that have sustained their community for generations.
Stop at the farm where the Academy Award winning movie "Witness" was filmed. You will have a chance to tour the beautiful Amish farm which remains much as it was in the movie, interact with their many animals and possibly meet the wonderful Amish family who owns the farm. This is a completely private stop and not available to the public. We will stop at a private and beautiful Amish home, where the kids make birdhouses. Witness Amish craftsmanship up close in the artisan stable and barn - and purchase a birdhouse if you like.
