This experience was as much a walking tour of the city of Lancaster as it was about the Mennonite and Amish countryside. I was pleasantly surprised at the vast history of this city. It was a great tour.

Our guide, Mike, was extremely informative with all the historical facts he shared. His pride of the Lancaster area shows through his presentation. We especially enjoyed visiting the Amish Creamery and the Amish family farm.
