This adventure was suppose to be the highlight of our trip. It ended up a big disappointment! What we got for $153 per person, we could have done on our own. As written, it sounds like you’re going to spend a nice amount of time with the Amish, learning about their culture and their ways. We did do a little walking on the grounds…looked inside the bakery and left. The Amish people did look at us like we really didn’t belong there. Our guide did try to get someone to give us a carriage ride around the grounds but both people said no. We drove up to see the printing press they use - and since I asked questions, James did answer us. Visiting at the print shop was the highlight of information but only about the printing press. We did shop in the farmers market building. But we could have done that on our own. The picnic left a bit to be desired. The place we went swimming was challenging to get in and out of and the water was chilly for swimming in. Then we were sent onto Morrison Vineyard without our guide. He said that Caroline was expecting us but she had no clue when we got there. She also informed us that they do wine tastings for free every day. So, once again, it was something we could have done on our own! The four of us paid over $500 for this excursion and it was a great let down! I don’t recommend it to anyone! Travelers can visit those places on their own for much less money.
