Highlights
  • The Amish Farm and House - Sit back, relax and let us take you through the real Amish country backroads. Your driver-guide will drive 25 miles into countryside not easily found on our own. From the window, you’ll see Amish homes, schools and farms. Depending on the season you might see Amish working in their fields, children riding on scooters and horse & buggies traveling to and from.

Your driver-guide will be narrating as you see the Amish going about their everyday life. You’ll learn about agriculture, farming techniques, weddings, family traditions and how they live in our ‘modern world’.

It’s not just all on the bus; we make two stops at Amish farms where you’ll get to interact with the Amish folks. You’ll have the opportunity to purchase goods made from the very hands who made them! (not on Sundays)

Such an educational experience! - John our driver was so informative and we enjoyed our visit. It was nice to be able to enjoy such a personal experience. The house tour narrator was very knowledgeable also and we are very pleased with our adventure.

Lancaster Amish bus tour was well worth all the effort of organising the trip. - The whole experience was brilliant - from the journey from Morton PA to the trip around the Amish estate. The staff were organised and pleasant and polite. We travelled from the UK to visit a relative and this trip was one of our highlights.

History and present day - I did this tour a decade ago and it never disappoints. It is a great way to learn the history and traditions of the Amish. Starting at the house and farm, you travel room to room to understand how the local Amish live in modern times. Next, visit a couple of farms/vendors by tour bus to see handcrafted wares.

Wonderful double tour! - both the driving tour in the house tour were extremely informative and just a wonderful experience. I actually learned a ton, and so did my wife, and we have been talking with people about the tour nonstop since. We had to drive all the way from Massachusetts and only had a few hours in Lancaster, so we ended up getting the last tour of the day. Earlier ones are better as the farm has more going on and some of the businesses we were visiting had the pretzels and ice cream line closed. we still had a wonderful experience, but we would recommend everybody try to get the second to last tour latest. We quickly realized that our driver, Tim, is more than just a tour guide. Drivers are an important part of the Amish community since Amish people cannot drive cars, and I feel like he personally knows a good portion of the Amish community in Lancaster.

Beautiful, informative tour. Worth the money! - This tour was very well run. The tour ran on time and drove us around the beautiful Lancaster countryside while allowing us to view many Amish homesteads, farms, one room school houses and business from the comfort of our tour bus. Our driver not only displayed a strong knowledge of the Amish, but a deep respect for them as well. We bought delicious foods at the bake shop and loved looking at the quilts at our second stop. The house tour provided just enough detail to keep it interesting, and was just the right amount of time as well. Walking around the beautifully kept grounds after the tour was also a lovely way to end the day.
