We found the tour...

chaya_w, Aug 2023

We found the tour informative and well organized and it packed in a lot of information in a short amount of time. However we found tour guide's personality did not suit our taste. We found her to be a bit rude and rigid for a tour guide)

Great experience

Maxine_M, Aug 2023

I learned a lot about the Amish and was very surprised with some of their culture. For example the kids only have a 8 grade education.

The entire experience was...

The entire experience was informative and enjoyable. Issac was great during the bus tour!! The area is extremely beautiful

WanRosman_W, Jul 2023

The guided tour was a really an eye opener to the lives of the Amish. The stop at the Amish roadside shop was one of our favorites. The soft pretzels there are to die for. By the end of the tour we could differentiate in general the Mennonites and the Amish, and how they live their lives. The homestead and school tour, even though not at the actual live-in house or school, but was still great as we could sample for ourselves how the kids study and imagining clearly their day-to-day living.

Informative and engaging

Arielle_F, Nov 2022

The 12pm tour was great. It lasted till 3:30pm, with time in between the shuttle tour and the film to pop over to the BBQ place where they have an amazing gift shop. The staff was friendly at the Amish Experience.I have told many people about the positive experience.

Children at work and play

Jan_N, Jul 2022

A very knowledgeable guide. Some waiting time between the bus tour and movie that seemed unnecessary.

Fun and informational tour!

Scott_T, Jul 2022

Our tour guide Jeff was so knowledgeable of the Amish lifestyle. We learned a lot and had fun too. Plus the fresh pretzel stop was an unexpected special treat.

Response from Host, Jul 2022

People in Pennsylvania eat more pretzels per capita than anyone else in the US. We just love them. We're glad you got to taste some of the best!

Very interesting

Loved the Visit!

Maurice_B, Nov 2021

Informative and thorough ! The tour guide was excellent and answered all our questions. We felt Amish and had a great day!

Great tour for an overview of Amish life

Zinlou, Aug 2021

Great overview of many aspects of Amish life. The tour guides were very knowledgeable. The movie was informative and interesting for all ages. However, be aware that the signage for this experience is not obvious. There are buggy rides next door and one can easily confuse that entrance (has the same address) with the second entrance that is for the Amish Experience. The gift shop staff seemed tired and unfriendly to questions from tourists. The non-smiling faces were not very welcoming. Also, it was difficult to know where to go to get to the next event. (there are 3 events for this tour). Just a little verbal summary to guests when getting their passes on arrival would be helpful. Even so, this tour is a great idea for those wanting to learn about authentic Amish life and I would recommend it.

Response from Host, Aug 2021

Thanks for the feedback. Glad you enjoyed the experience, and suggestions regarding signage and employee engagement duly noted.

Great trip very informative and fun

Jay_R, Jul 2021

Trip was highly informative and the employees are very polite and friendly. Any questions you have will be answered. We learned about the culture and why Amish believe what they practice daily.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

We enjoy showing people from all walks of life who the Amish are - thanks for joining us for a tour.

Great Amish experience

Mostafa_M, Jul 2021

The tour was really good and the people very nice but only the electricity went off in the beginning of the movie so we didn’t watched so we lost 1/3 from the tour package with no competition.

Response from Host, Jul 2021

The power outage was very unfortunate! If you are still in the area, feel free to come and see the Theater. We are back up and running. If you aren't in the area anymore, message me directly (my email address is on your reservation confirmation email)
