From Philadelphia: Lancaster County Amish Community Tour

Join this guided driving tour from Philadelphia out to Lancaster County and explore the beautiful stretch of countryside that is home to one of the largest Amish communities in the country. Learn from your guide about what makes the Amish way of life so unique. You'll discover how the Amish were created and why they ended up coming to America and settling just outside of Philadelphia.

You will be immersed in the Amish world as you travel from site to site, including an old stone house that was formerly the home of an Amish family but is now open to the public as a museum. Enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant that serves traditional Amish food. Visit roadside stands, craft shops, farms and more to observe the Amish in a respectful manner. You will have plenty of opportunities to purchase handmade items if you wish.

Along the way, you'll see Amish workers in the fields tending to their crops, or out for a ride in their horse and buggies. Pass by beautiful Amish homes and modest one-room school houses as your guide explains this fascinating community in great detail.
