						Mike our tour guide was outstanding, he was professional, kind, funny & knowledgeable. Mary the Amish home we visited was so sweet the food was amazing so delicious and so much. We had a great time roaming the grounds where the movie “The Witness” was filmed.		
Denise C.		11/23/2022

						This was a very good tour. It was really behind the scenes and not commercial at all. We were able to speak with the Amish land owners, who were very welcoming.  We were not taken to places to buy Amish "stuff".  We were able to really enjoy the farm land and were not rushed at all.		
Maryjean S.		10/23/2022

						What a great experience! Amish meal hosts were friendly & very accommodating (answering my curious & loquacious husband's questions). Lunch was soooo delicious! Mike, tour owner & our guide that day was knowledgeable & personable! I even got to feed the baby goats!

						We took are staff on the Sweet and Savory Tour of Lancaster and really enjoyed it.  We didn't realize all the interesting places to eat in downtown Lancaster.  Mike, the tour guide was very knowledgeable in both the history of Lancaster as well as the food shops we visited.		
Cathy S.		9/23/2022

						My wife and I had a great time. Our guide Mike had lots of good knowledge about the history of Lancaster. He took us around to see the local market. Our favorite was going to a local Amish dairy. We had their ice cream and it was amazing.		
Loving L.		6/23/2021

Saying my experience was delightful would be a complete understatement! It was FANTASTIC! Mike went above and beyond to cater to our needs on our Amish experience. Everywhere we went was welcoming and filled with fun, information and unforgettable experiences. The only regret I have was not scheduling more tours!

Megan S.

This tour was awesome! Our tour host, Mike, made it so interesting. We started the tour with a brisk morning walk around downtown Lancaster. His knowledge of the Lancaster area was amazing. You must spend some time while you are in the area with LoKal Experiences.

Deborah H.

Mike gave us a great overview of the history, people and landmarks of Lancaster City. His informative and open style included human interest stories and unique cultural insights and interesting history. Even though I am a resident of Lancaster County my horizon was expanded and I gained a new understanding of the city of Lancaster and the surrounding area. Excellent experience!

Alan N.

It was awesome. Dale was extremely knowledgeable and interesting. We learned a lot that we didn’t know. And the Amish farm and meal were wonderful! Martha was fabulous. Very sweet and hospitable. We highly recommend this tour. Do not miss it!

Robin R.

We enjoyed our tour of the city of Lancaster with Mike as our guide. His thorough knowledge of dates and events was amazing. Our last stop at an establishment with ties to a brewery which secretly operated during Prohibition was especially interesting. The micro brews were great and we parted ways feeling as if we had gained a new friend.

Ka N.

I am so glad we chose this tour of the Amish country. We saw so many tourists flocking to the same spots along the roads in the area, but this tour took us in a small van of 8 people “behind the scenes.” Our driver was a native of the area and has Amish friends who have opened their farms to him for touring. You will learn so much from this tour! Do not hesitate to book.
