Given we only had one afternoon, this was a great way to get a real feel for the Amish and their way of life. At first I thought it might be hokey, or designed to get us to buy stuff, but I was proven wrong. All the stops contributed to the overall experience and offered trusted sources for souveniers. I'm local and was escorting foreign visitors -- I will do this tour again for future visitors. |

We only had a few hours to visit Lancaster county and I felt that your package gave an excellent overview of the area in a short space of time. I will definitely return at a later date! |

At first I was a bit skeptical, but the tours were really great. The farmlands tour I would highly recommend. I thought it was a bit pricey at first, but it was well worth it. We went on Sunday, so we thought we wouldn't see anything good, but we actually passed by an Amish church service (we didn't go in or anything) but it was really neat to see. All tour guides had great recommendations for other things we could do. One of them even had Amish friends and she was really great as well. Good for first time visitors to the Amish country. |

This tour is the best to learn more about the Amish and their way of life. The theatre and tour of the house solidified the experience. |

The bus ride was very relaxing and comfortable. We had been getting lost every day. I really enjoyed sitting back and relaxing. The home we stopped at was so clean and the flowers were beautiful. The people were nice and the shop was great. We also really enjoyed the theater, backless benches and all. The house tour was informative and the man who walked us through was knowledgable and he added the right sense of humor. Maybe you can help me. I know you have a Philadelphia tour. We are planning a trip next year and we'd like to do that. Can you send me some information on that? judylindquist4706@comcast.net. |

This tour exceeded our expectations!! The guides were professional, knowledgeable and fun!! The farmland tour allowed us behind the scenes on an Amish farm and we were provided with opportunities to buy crafts, goodies and more. All our questions were answered through this wonderful package. It was truly an experience! Respect for this peaceful culture has grown and and our own faith has been strengthened! Loved it!! |

The tour itself was ok. It appears that the tour guides fly by the seat of their pants. We spent a significant amount of time waiting for traffice to cross roads with the guide saying we won't come this way again. There really seemed to be no purpose to the tour other than for the guide to stress that he is good friends with the Amish. It really wasn't very informative at all. All the information given was very basic.
The movie itself was not worth the time. There were some mentally handicapped folks in the audience and it was overwhelming to them with the lights flashing and the loud noise.
The tour of the home was by far the most informative portion of the event. Our guide was knowledgeable and it was a faction of Amish life that the entire tour seemed interested in. |

Our grandchildren , ages 12 and 15,were not too interested and had difficulty seeing part of the movie, but our son, daughter-in-law and my husband and I learned a lot and enjoyed it.
We learned things in the Amish Home and on the bus tour but it seemed like too many commercial stops when I would like to have seen more authentic Amish places. |
