There’s a corner of Pennsylvania where the loudest sound is horse hooves on country roads — and it’s just a short ride from Philadelphia. The Guided Day Trip to Amish Country from Philadelphia takes you straight into the heart of Lancaster County, home to one of the most fascinating cultures in America.
The journey begins with a comfortable van ride out to the idyllic countryside, where horse-drawn buggies share the road and farmers work the fields just as they have for generations. At the Amish Village Museum, a preserved homestead open to the public, you’ll step inside real Amish life and learn about its history, faith, and traditions.
Bring your appetite: the day includes homemade Amish cooking — hearty, simple, and made with love. Between the museum, the rolling farmland, and the chance to slow down to a gentler pace of life, this is one of the most heartwarming day trips you can take from the city. Tours start at $249 per person.
