Situated in northern Indiana in a region of the state where the largest Amish communities reside, Buggy Lane Tours has been in operation since 1985. The tours seek to bridge the gap between the worlds and show common folk what it is like to live and work the Amish life.
Guests may get to meet with actual Amish families, see quilt gardens, shop in the stores, visit a one-room schoolhouse, see the animal barns, and much more.
The most special tours include dinner. Guests will be treated to a home-cooked Amish meal within a local home. You'll never forget this comforting and delicious feast.
Buggy rides last between 15 and 30 minutes and include unique stories given by your guide. Each experience is different and created by the person giving the tour.
