Summary: The depth of our guide’s (Dale) knowledge and the quality of the stops during the tour clearly exceeded our high expectations! That Dale also is an excellent story teller obviously also improved our experience.

Summary: Our tour guide knew so much information and answered every question we came up with. There was no time where he wasn’t teaching us something new. The locations were terrific - fresh made ice cream, the homestead from the movie Witness, a milking farm and a homestead where their 13 yo son gave us the tour of his barn and pheasants. Gave us a new perspective on how the Amish live. The time flew by - lasted a little longer than the 3 hours and it just didn’t feel that way. Definitely worth the experience.

Summary: Hands down the best tour we could have taken! We all learned so much. Our guide was informative, knowledgeable, and friendly. The kids had a great time too! 3 hours felt like 20 minutes. We will definitely be booking again for our next trip to Pennsylvania Dutch Country
