	The Amish homestead was great along with the motorcoach ride through the farmlands. Great stops and interesting commentary added to the tour. The movie was ok and showed more about the Amish family's choices. Overall, this was well worth the time and money!

	Everything was great. The tour guide was very knowledgeble. We were there earlier then 20 min and that was great because we were the first one and everyone else showed up at the last min and it was a little crazy but because we were early we just sit back and enjoyed. This was a great tour and I have nothing negative to say about it.
	The Amish Experience is a Must for Families Amish Farmlands SuperSaver Tour Package

	I came to Harrisburg from Florida with my 2 small girls ages 7 and 9. I wanted them to very much be able to experience Lancaster county and the Amish people. I searched online for quite awhile and in my mind I knew the Amish Experience was exactly what I wanted to experience myself and mostly for my girls. I brought my 76 year old Uncle along too. It was a wonderful 4 hours and very educational for all 4 of us. The girls were quite content on the bus tour and enjoyed the cannery, the wine tasting and the Amish House where we were able to spend some time exploring and shopping. The movie was fabulous and totally first class and such a great story. We thoroughly enjoyed that. Then we ended with a tour of the Amish homestead and learned more important ways and customs of the Amish people. It was so very interesting and fascinating. I know it was the best tour available and experience as well. I am glad we chose this Amish Experience and it was well worth every penny spent. The gentlemen who were the tour guides were extremely knowledgeable and able to answer all the great questions that were asked by the guest. I was able to learn so much that I didn't know about the people of Lancaster county. I wish we could have stayed longer and been able to do some more things. I will miss Lancaster very much. We had a wonderful day. Thanks
	Expensive for what you get Amish Farmlands SuperSaver Tour Package

	The tour was enjoyable enough, but was very over-priced for what it was. The movie was just "OK", the house tour was just "OK" and the bus tour was just "OK." If the package were closer to $15 it would be worth it - but not at $30 or more. I was hoping for a tour that would provide a more unique perspective on the Amish and some information beyond the basics. The tour proved to be very basic, and I don' t think we learned a single new thing. I think that if you took a map and drove around the countryside, you would see more. Invest in one of the many books about the Amish, and you'll learn much more.
	Super-Saver Tour Review Amish Farmlands SuperSaver Tour Package

	My family and I recently purchased the Super Saver Amish Tour Package. There were 4 adults and 2 children in our party. We enjoyed the information provided immensely. We enjoyed the information provided to us from the tour guide while on the Amish Country Tour, specifically. We were not impressed with the Tour Guide who showed us the Amish home on the property. He was very condescending to the Amish way of life and seemed to be there to earn a buck only. There were also way too many people in the house to have a nice, comfortable tour. All in all, the experience was nice despite the smarty-pants tour guide for the house. His name is Sean, by the way.
	Absolutely fantastic Amish Farmlands SuperSaver Tour Package

	We enjoyed every moment of our time there. We just wish we had planned earlier, so that we could spend at least 2-3 days. It was worth every penny and every second !!

	Wonderful trip--would like more time at stops Amish Farmlands SuperSaver Tour Package

	Thoroughly enjoyed ourselves and learned much about the Amish. The tour guide was very imformative and interesting. The stop at the Riehl's homestead was wonderful but would have liked to have maybe 10 more minutes to shop. The tour guide had wonderful detailed information about the buggies that was interesting also. The stop at the Bird-in-Hand Bake/Giftshop needed a little more time to really look around at all the wonderful things in there. The trip to the winery was interesting and enjoyed it but would rather not have gone if we could have had more time at the other two stops mentioned previously. The trip along the back roads was very enjoyable and informative. Beautiful countryside!! Would recommend the trip to any group of persons whether its a school group or just a couple like ourselves. Would have rated the trip "enthusiastically recommended" if we had more time at the stops as stated above. Go for it, you'll be glad you did!!!
	Probably not worth the money Amish Farmlands SuperSaver Tour Package
	Sat, Jun 24, 06 2:00 PM	robinMiles84	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
	I think that if I had read up on Amish traditions and the culture, then I would have enjoyed more just driving around in the car and looking at the farms, rather than on the big bus where I couldn't really see anything. The "guide", "interpreter" what ever you call him, sat at the front of the bus and had a beautiful view of everything and would say, "Look over there! You see a blah blah blah "and would tell about it but we could not figure out where we were supposed to be looking. Sometimes he said, "Over on your right..." which was somewhat more helpful, but 50% of the time I was lost. The tour was overbooked so we ended up with kids on the laps, which was not fun for 1-1/2 hours. The stops (wine tasting, one Amish farm with a little shop selling quilts, and a tourist trap bakery) were nice in that we were off the bus, but we could have made those stops in our car. Well, probably not the Amish farm because we would not have known to stop there. The "Amish farmstead" tour was rushed and ended up that the lady sat us down in the orientation room and told everything about what we were GOING TO SEE as we walked through the house, what to look for in each room, etc, then we went on our own through the house. So we didn't really know what we were looking at. And the guide was not with us so we could not ask questions in most of the room. This tour was rushed because the bus tour was overbooked and it had taken 15 minutes to get everyone situated in the bus before we left, so we were 15 minutes late getting back. The movie lent an interesting perspective on the Amish church and I recommend watching it. I would not do this again, but we did learn something things about the Amish people and saw some beautiful farms, so I don't regret the $$ spent.
	Highly Recommended Amish Farmlands SuperSaver Tour Package

	My husband and I both enjoyed this supersaver tour package. Bus brought us into the back roads of the amish farm country, we learned a lot about the lifes of the amish people. Theater was different and movie was good. Everyone should see how amish people still live, very interesting. The scenery is breathtaking.
	GREAT BUS TOUR AND OVERVIEW OF AMISH Amish Farmlands SuperSaver Tour Package
	Wed, Jun 21, 06 10:30 AM	tigeringa	Female	40-49	Domestic Tourist(s)	Family With Children
	We enjoyed our bus tour very much. We enjoyed the stories and history told by our guide and the great local places that he took us to. Don't miss the bakery or the quilt shop. The film was moving and inspiring. Certainly a unique presentation. Only 3 theaters like it in North America. The food and service was great at the restaurant. Very informative and educational for adults and kids. Would not recommend it for very young children.

	The tour by bus was really informative and fun. My husband and I enjoyed stopping at the Amish stores, etc. Two stores was probably a bit much (each 20 minute stops), but overall enjoyable.
