The day is long, packed, and best for first-time visitors.

“We loved our trip to Philadelphia and Amish Country. Visited some of the most important places in the city, like the Coty Hall, first post office of USA, learnt about the Declaration of Independence, the Liberty Bell and other important historical events, as well the visit at the farm of an Amish family was very special. A bit of extra time at the market would have been helpful as you do not have enough time to buy things especially if there are long queues. Overall excellent experience.”

“Our tour guide, Dale, a local high school history teacher, picked us up in a nice sprinter van at the Lancaster County Welcome Center. We drove a half hour to Strausburg through the country side. As we drove along, Dave taught a class on the Amish starting with their origination as Mennonites. Along the way through the county, he talked about the area and the people. It was interesting to learn the structure of the church districts and how each one can differ to certain degrees from another. Dale was filled with facts and figures and given that we had a small group was able to answer all our questions.…”
