Venture beyond the typical tourist path and discover the essence of Lancaster County with an authentic visit to a local Amish family's home.
Your journey commences aboard one of our comfortable vans, taking you through the stunning landscapes of Lancaster County.
The pinnacle of your experience is a visit to an Amish family's residence, where you'll receive a warm welcome and savor a traditional, home-cooked meal prepared by your Amish hosts. This is not a staged attraction or a restaurant; it's a genuine chance to gather at the family table, enjoy delicious homemade food, and share in meaningful conversations.

Very informative about...
Rodolfo_B, October 2026
Very informative about the Amish. It was short, concise, and straightforward information. Our group was just of modest size for a group tour in an Amish home. Moses, the tour guide, was very knowledgeable and eager in answering questions about the culture. Visiting an Amish residence helped us understand their way of life. Overall, the experience was memorable and highly recommended.
Response from the operator · loKalexperiences Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed your experience and found it both informative and memorable. Moses does a fantastic job sharing his knowledge of the Amish community, and we’re glad he made your visit so special. We’re also happy that visiting an Amish home gave you a deeper understanding of their way of life.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another experience soon!

Wonderful Way to Experience Amish Life
Teresa_K, October 2026
My husband and I treated a friend from Japan to a visit to an Amish home and a delicious lunch., something she would never have done on her own. The tour guide was superb! Gave an informative talk while driving the van so we could see the countryside on the way. The lady and her daughters were quite kind, answered everyone's questions, and gave us and our friend a view of Amish life we could not have experienced otherwise.
Response from the operator · loKalexperiences Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you and your guests enjoyed this special experience. It’s heartwarming to hear that your guide and Amish host family made your visit so memorable. We truly appreciate you sharing this experience with your friend and hope to welcome you back again soon!
