If you want to get a nice house tour on how the amish live this is the place to go. Our guide was very informative and educated. The inside of the house was very cool. I got to see and learn about the amishs customs and traditions. The outside area was very nice too. My favorite parts were the schoolhouse... More

This tour is very informative. I feel like I have a better understanding of the Amish traditions and culture. On the tour, you will learn about Amish clothing, food, holidays, and their day-to-day lives. There was an Amish girl selling fresh-squeezed lemonade on the property, as well as a small petting zoo and a wood crafter's shop.

This visit was very informative without being boring. The chance to walk around the farm and see animals was a bonus for the children. The active blacksmith was fascinating. To see the Amish in their own place without intruding was a bonus. The distance from Philadelphia was 1 hour but pretty scenery mostly. The tour of the house was good... More

Renate was my guide through the house. She was very informative and funny. Learned a lot during that tour. I also walked around the grounds. Lots to see there. I highly recomment the bus tour. You'll learn so much about the Amish this way. Oh, my GPS said I arrived but I didn't see it. It's set off the road... More

Thank you for visiting us! We're glad you enjoyed your tour with Renate. She is a native of the Rhineland...the same region in Germany from which the Amish come. We're glad you enjoyed the bus tour. It certainly takes your experience a whole step further into the Countryside! More

We used another company a couple years ago for a tour. We enjoyed both. We liked seeing the farm animals, talking to the extremely nice wood carver/cutter, riding the Amish scooters, seeing the school house, and looking at the Amish house at this place. There is a scooter trail where you can try out the Amish style scooters, and my... More

We went to the Amish Farm and House on a Sunday. We decided to take a tour of the house and the bus tour of the surrounding area. I found the guides of both tours to be knowledgeable and respectful about the culture of the local Amish families. The grounds of the Amish Farm are unfortunately surrounded by a shopping... More

Thank you for visiting the Amish Farm and House. We're glad you found the house tour and bus tour highly enjoyable, informative, and fun. About 8 years ago, stores were built beside and in front of the farm, but the original part of the farm was never touched. We still have 15 picturesque acres tucked behind the hustle and bustle...

Spent a good few hours here, looked around the farm and paid for the guided tour. So interesting and humbling, was so very peaceful. The guide was informative and helpful. Was such a nice experience. Would certainly recommend.

We took the complete package tour. Our bus driver was very friendly and knowledgeable about the area. We were able to learn the basics about the Amish life and to see a great deal about the area. The farmhouse tour was also very interesting to learn more detail about Amish customs and beliefs. The farm tour was not as interesting... More

The location surprised me, as it is located in a shopping center, but the guide mentioned that it was once 100+ acre farm and now they only have 25 acres in back of the house. We paid for the basic tour (the least expensive which included a 45 minute tour of the house itself with information that children could easily... More

This was our first trip to Lancaster and introduction to the Amish/Mennonite culture. We thought this tour was provided a good overview to that lifestyle. This is a former Quaker/Amish/Mennonite farm (not sure about the order there) but now is strictly a museum. The grounds are self-guided, but you get a < 1hr tour through the main house to see...
