Unique Amish Immersion in Lancaster

Great tour of the Amish people and how they live. Mike was our tour guide and highly recommend him. The tour bus was small with only about 10 people so it made it quite personal.

Exceeded all of our expectations!!! Learned a better appreciation for Amish culture. Would have never found all of the special stops on our own.

Wonderful tour! Our guide was very nice and knowledgeable. Beautiful countryside views. Would definitely recommend!

Very knowledgeable tour guide. Learned a lot about the Amish. Saw some interesting farms and their workings. Everyone we encountered on the tour was very nice and answered questions. Ice cream treat was great!!

Mike was wonderful! He grew up amongst the Amish and Mennonites, so he clearly knows their ‘real’ story beyond the outside world assumptions. Learning about how they’ve progressed and tried to keep up with the modern world while still respecting their individual and communal traditions was fascinating! Mike is open and honest so come ready with questions! He also has individual ear phones so everyone can hear him clearly no matter where you are on the van or at each site. Our only drawback - which isn’t Mike fault - was with the rain, we basically ran from the van into a barn, met some animals and then went to the next spot. If the weather was better, walking around the full farms and having the chance to possibly meet and chat with the Amish would have made this an actually immersive experience. With not interacting with any Amish beyond the stores, it was not as unique as we had hoped for. So my suggestion would be, if the weather isn’t looking good, try to rebook for another day so you can actually get the full immersive experience. The van is extremely clean and easy for all passengers with the high ceiling. There is a large step into the van, but Mike is prepared with a sturdy steel stool for everyone to use. There are bathrooms at the visitor center where you meet - but they are not open for the morning tours as they begin too early. Mike made a group stop across the street at Sheetz so everyone was ready for the tour! There are also bathrooms available at the creamery and country store during the tour. Mike came prepared with umbrellas as well for anyone who needed them and was conscious of the temp in the van and made sure everyone was comfortable. Overall - it would have been an amazing experience had we actually had the opportunity to chat with families and their kids. Having brought 2 kiddos myself, had they had a chance to say hi to other kids they would have been more engaged. We would do the Amish meal next time to have a more personal experience.

Outstanding trip, our tour guide was exceptionally knowledgeable. Enjoyed every minute, worth every penny!

If you want a behind the scenes look at the Amish community then this is the tour for you. Owner is a local born and raised in Lancaster. Very knowledgeable of the area and the people. One of the most interesting tours we’ve ever been on. A+

Our tour guide was a locally born and raised fellow. He was very knowledgeable and an excellent speaker. He had Bluetooth earpieces to give out to all in the bus, so we could all hear him loud and clear! Great idea!

Great time! Loved visiting the Amish houses and hearing all about their culture! Would highly recommend!

We greatly enjoyed this tour as we traveled areas away from the typical touristy spots. All our questions were thoughtfully answered by locals and Amish alike. The occasional stops to explore and learn were a nice touch. And having incredibly tasting ice cream at a dairy farm didn’t hurt either. The tour was a highlight for us and our 10-year old alike. We will seek out other tour offerings from LoKal in the future.
