Complimentary 2-Hour Amish Farmland Tour
Experience the back roads and people of Lancaster County in our climate-controlled tour bus. As we wind our way through the scenic farmlands, we’ll make several stops including a visit to an Amish-owned quilt shop. Learn about the 18th century lifestyle of our Amish neighbors from our experienced Tour Guides. Our two-hour bus tour is the highlight of many of our Guests stay at all of our properties. (Our complimentary tour is a $21.95 value per person).  Our Tour Guides will tell you the history of the Amish and Mennonites in this area, the difference between Amish and Mennonites, as well as the traditions of Amish schools, churches, marriages, funerals, dress and transportation. Space is limited.  Reservations are accepted at the Front Desk/Office upon your arrival. You must have a ticket to board the bus. Tours are offered Monday through Saturday (no Sunday tours). These tours are available only to Guests of Amish Country Motel, Bird-in-Hand Family Inn, Mill Stream Country Inn, Travelers Rest Motel, Bird-in-Hand Village Inn & Suites and Country Acres Campground.
