He offered lots of interesting information about the many aspects of the Amish history, community and lifestyle. Thank you Mike! Once we were done with the tour, we arrived to our destination and met by a very welcoming Amish family and their cute dog. The house is beautiful and sunny which added to the already friendly atmosphere. The meal served was delicious consisting of potatoes, meat loaf, sting beans and candied beets. Followed by dessert which like the meal was delicious. It was a pleasure to talk to the host’s two daughters Ana and Marian, they were very lively and open. They introduced us to their animals and answered more questions about school, friends and ways they spend their free time. Although I felt a bit shy, the family’s casual and friendly energy really helped to soften the vibe and make us feel comfortable. Overall this was great and I will definitely be back for another tour and family visit.. so If you’re having doubts about booking this trip..don’t think twice, you will not regret it!This was one of the best experiences my husband and I had in Lancaster.

This was one of the best experiences my husband and I had in Lancaster. Mike, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the Amish families in the area. On our way to the Amish home, he shared information about their way of life and history and answer many questions in a very honest and respectful way. The Amish hosting family was amazing. They let us feel like they were hosting friends and shared with us a bountiful home cooked meal. They cooked mash potatoes, beef, chicken, carrots. The dessert was some sort of chocolate cake with local made ice cream. Yummy! We also enjoyed watching their two little boys helping mom with serving the table and later playing around. The conversation with the Amish family was very casual and pleasant. What an enriching experience!
