What people are saying about Lancaster County, Pennsylvania

From the beginning, everything was just amazing!! Our guide was so knowledgeable as we toured the countryside on our way to our lunch, and the headsets were a real plus! Lunch was amazing and the family was delightful and appeared to love sharing their culture and family. Chatting with the older children and watching the younger children play best part of our visit to Lancaster. Highly recommend!!!

This has been my 18th year going to Lancaster county. This was my first time on this tour. Glenn was an awesome tour guide through each event within the ticket. Believe it or not, I still learned a few things about the Amish I didn’t know. The movie was great for a smaller production. I would totally recommend this tour along with staying at Amishview inn and suites!

My wife and liked the visit a lot. We learned many things we didn't know about Amish way of life (special thanks to a great guide we had) but also we enjoyed being with the host family, particularly kids, and seeing their horses and goats and carriages. All questions were answered. It was a trip to remember.

Our tour guide, Shirley, was wonderful and did an excellent job on our tour. She was very knowledgeable on everything Amish. We learned a lot, and are grateful for her guidance! We highly recommend this tour!!!
