I’ve been in the US a few weeks now and this has been one of my favourite experiences so far. Our guide was fantastic and I truly loved the tour. We saw some great historic places and I loved the Amish county. The family we visited were so lovely and happy to talk about their cattle, pigs and horses. Our guide shared so much information and history with us, I’d definitely recommend this tour to anyone thinking about going.

The trip was amazing. Unfortunately due to weather couple of venues we ere meant to visit were closed. This wasn’t a problem as our wonderful guide James made up the time by taking up to other places of interest. We had a gentleman on the tour who decided to be an unnecessary vocal about something that he felt was not fine by him. He was rude and abusive towards James, who with grace and expertise managed to calm the gentleman down and we could continue our tour in peace. James was truly amazing, entertaining and very informative. He made the tour for what it was….unforgettable ❣️
