| Certainly, curiosity related
to our Amish community attracts many visitors. Thoughts of a
simpler time and place abound as we witness homes without
electricity, and transportation limited to the horse and
buggy. Community celebrations and special events, not to mention endless
shopping options, from roadside stands and quilts to furniture and hex
signs, add to the area's unique allure.
WHAT PEOPLE SAY
Here are just a few of many comments from an
independent website where people are free to write what they thought of
our SuperSaver tour:
The Amish Farmlands package deal was
great. The three activities provided distinct insights in enjoyable,
varied formats. This package was the best part of our two days in Amish
country. If you just want to shop and gawk, you don't need these
activities. If you want to understand the Amish, this is probably the
best way to do it.
Great experience! Guides
very informative for tour and for house. Stopping in the "outer" areas
at shops is great as all products were truly made locally and prices
were cheaper than on the main roads. Give you very good idea of what is
is like to be Amish. Movie was well done and interesting.
Great introduction to Amish
life... The three of us thoroughly enjoyed "The Amish Experience." The
movie was an excellent introduction to the struggles young people today
must have as they decide whether or not to commit themselves to the
Amish way of life. The visit to the Amish Country Homestead was very
enjoyable. Most enjoyable of all, and very informative, was the tour of
the farmlands. It was good to get off the main highways and ramble
around in the areas that are truly home to the Amish families. Our guide
was superb and gave us a wonderful introduction to Amish life. She gave
us good background information and answered all questions asked in an
informative manner. I would highly recommend the entire experience as an
introduction. We later went back and visited on our own much of the area
covered in the tour.
Very informative and interesting for all
ages. We were able to complete the entire supersaver package. The bus
tour was comfortable, most interesting and informative, with stops at
key sites such as the farm with live animals, the handicrafts outlets,
and the wine store. Our tour guide was good. We enjoyed the theater
presentation and the tour of the house was especially interesting.
Exposing my grandchildren, ages 11 and 16 to the Amish experience was
one of the nicest parts of this activity.
A First-Rate Tour about Amish Lifestyle &
Customs. The tour was recommended to us by friends who attended last
year. As they promised us, it was not a touristy-trap, but rather a
sensitive, informed way of educating us about the lifestyle and customs
of the Amish. The tour guides were friendly, respectful,
knowledgeable, and engaging. The tour of the homestead was very
interesting. The movie was well done and addressed the challenge an
Amish young adult faces in making the choice to voluntarily become Amish
or move into our "English" world. I heartily recommend the Amish
Experience!
My three adult daughters and I took the
tour and thoroughly enjoyed it. The insights that were given into the
lives of the Amish was amazing. I would highly recommend the tour
package to anyone.
My husband and I as well as our adult son absolutely, without a
doubt felt this trip was informative, and an absolute must before
beginning on our own. The countryside and farms we visited were
beautiful and the Amish were very friendly and made us feel welcome. Our
tour guide explained so much along the way and made the trip extremely
enjoyable. The Theater movie was excellent and brought a great deal of
what we had been told during the trip into prospective. The house was
another piece that put everything into prospective. Hopefully you will
come away as enlightened and tranquil as we did. This package is a
must!!!
A truly wonderful family activity! This tour exceeded our
expectations!! The guides were professional, knowledgeable and fun!! The
farmland tour allowed us behind the scenes on an Amish farm and we were
provided with opportunities to buy crafts, goodies and more. All our
questions were answered through this wonderful package. It was truly an
experience! Respect for this peaceful culture has grown and and our own
faith has been strengthened! Loved it!!
One of my most enjoyable learning experiences. I highly
recommend this tour. The guide/driver was not only well-informed
but he has many Amish friends and could easily speak about them
personally. I gained a deep and abiding appreciation for both the
Amish life style and religion. The Amish home tour was very
enlightening. The cinema was unexpected. I thought I was
going to see a normal movie, but it was truly a sensory experience.
If you want to learn more about the Amish community, this is definitely
your best choice.

The Amish Experience is on the same property as the area's original
family-style restaurant, Plain & Fancy Farm, where you can
enjoy both a la carte dining or the legendary all-you-can-eat dinner of
local Pennsylvania Dutch specialties, such as chicken potpie, apple
dumplings, and shoofly pie. Also on the property are
Aaron & Jessica's Buggy Rides
and
