Ride Back in Time on an Amish Buggy

Tour back roads through the Lancaster countryside, visit less traveled places, learn history, and satisfy your curiosities about the Amish culture and lifestyle. A ride on an authentic Amish buggy is the perfect way to step back in time to an era before planes, trains and automobiles were ever imagined. With several Amish buggy tour operators available, each provides rides of varying lengths to meet your needs. Plus, you can choose to add a visit to a working farm or a stop at a roadside farmstand for a complete Amish experience. Whatever you choose, you'll get an up-close look at Amish Country life for yourself.

From your cozy accommodations at The Lancaster Bed and Breakfast, head east to the Kitchen Kettle Village, where you'll start your trip on AAA Buggy Rides.
