What People Say About
The Exclusive Visit-In-Person Tours
Excellent tour! One of the best I have ever had. The best part of the tour was visiting with an Amish family in their home with the opportunity to ask questions. The tour was with a small group of people, which made the tour seem very personal.
Wonderfully insightful and educational! It was definitely the best part of our trip. Being able to visit the farms and home of the Amish was very special. We learned so much. Our respect and appreciation for this way of life was deepened by this experience.
My wife set this up and I was not that excited at first. But after visiting all three families and interacting with them, I rate it as one of our top five experiences on our three week vacation. (visitor from California)
A great way to experience the Amish life. This was my first visit to Pennsylvania, and my goal was to see and learn about the Amish people. I came across this VIP tour and thought that it would be the best way to meet an Amish family. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and fun. He has a passion for what he does, and it shows. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone who wants to learn about the Amish, not just do the tourist shopping.
Informative, interesting, inspiring, so enjoyable. The opportunity to meet the Amish people in their homes, with their families, was such a great thing. We were amazed at their openness.
I think this tour is great because it really shows the Amish as people, and not just an attraction. When visitors spoke with the Eshes and Fishers, they spoke about their jobs, their families, their homes; they had everyday conversations with them. These tours allow visitors to humanize the Amish.
As we return to our tour van, we come away with a greater appreciation of the Amish way of life. It was an insightful, revealing look at Amish lifestyles that one could never get from merely traveling the area.
We had a great possibility to speak directly with Amish people, share experiences, and discover a new way of life, so different! No doubts, it's an experience that must be done!
