This tour provides incredible value by combining three top Amish experiences into a single booking: tour Amish farmlands in a 14-passenger shuttle, watch a theater performance that tells the story of an Amish family, and take a guided walking tour of a replica Amish house and school.

Worst experience I ever had in booking a tour
Ramjanardan_M, Mar 2024
I searched for Amish county tours in ohio in google. And i purchased thru this app. Nowhere it mentioned the location of the tour. Since I bought within 24 hrs I couldn’t cancel. Lost all my money as we were expecting it to be in Ohio. Worst place to book tours from this app. I am going to recommend all my friends and families not to use this app at all.
Birthday in Amish country

It was an excellent experience for my family and me to visit Amish country on my birthday with our knowledgeable guide, Jeff. He was very friendly and provided us with a wealth of information. The trip was worth it, and we also purchased some cool souvenirs to take back home.

We found the tour informative and well organized and it packed in a lot of information in a short amount of time. However we found tour guide's personality did not suit our taste. We found her to be a bit rude and rigid for a tour guide)
Great experience

I learned a lot about the Amish and was very surprised with some of their culture. For example the kids only have a 8 grade education.

SIgn up, you won't disappoint

The guided tour was a really an eye opener to the lives of the Amish. The stop at the Amish roadside shop was one of our favorites. The soft pretzels there are to die for. By the end of the tour we could differentiate in general the Mennonites and the Amish, and how they live their lives. The homestead and school tour, even though not at the actual live-in house or school, but was still great as we could sample for ourselves how the kids study and imagining clearly their day-to-day living.
Informative and engaging

The 12pm tour was great. It lasted till 3:30pm, with time in between the shuttle tour and the film to pop over to the BBQ place where they have an amazing gift shop. The staff was friendly at the Amish Experience.I have told many people about the positive experience.

A very knowledgeable guide. Some waiting time between the bus tour and movie that seemed unnecessary.
Fun and informational tour!

Our tour guide Jeff was so knowledgeable of the Amish lifestyle. We learned a lot and had fun too. Plus the fresh pretzel stop was an unexpected special treat.
Response from Host, Jul 2022
People in Pennsylvania eat more pretzels per capita than anyone else in the US. We just love them. We're glad you got to taste some of the best!
