Such a great tour, we want to do it again!
Published on Dec, 2024
It was very informative, our driver Jamie knew alot about the Amish culture. The food was delicious, we were well fed. The hosts, Sarah and her daughter, Mary Jane, were very accomodating. They answered all of our questions and even entertained us. We would highly recommend and will definitely do this tour again ourselves, as I understand there are different host families and different drivers too.

We met Dale at the tourist centre and instantly hit it off with our love for Rugby!
Dale is the font of all knowledge on the Amish, Lancaster and Pennsylvania history! Was fascinating to hear all the knowledge he imparted on us.
For the trip, Emma and her daughter were wonderful hosts in their home and the food was amazing! Will definitely be cooking some of them at home with thanks for Emma’s cookbook!
Only teeny niggle, Emma was quite shy and as there was no one else but us on the tour, it made it a little awkward at lunch but overall, amazing experience!
Amish experience.
