Simple Life Amish Tours - Volant, Pennsylvania

I have gone on an Amish Tour with Susan twice. I enjoyed it so much with my husband and three children that I returned with my mother a month later. We all gained such an appreciation for the Amish way of life, the beautiful and simplistic ways that the Amish people care for each other is to be celebrated. My husband and I truly fell in love with the beauty and simple way of life.
Susan is a true blessing as she shares her faith and love for Jesus which radiates when she speaks on behalf of her love for her Amish friends. I would highly recommend an Amish tour with Susan! She is very knowledgeable and insightful on the Amish life in New Wilmington, but more importantly her love for the Lord shines through. ♥️

My husband and I just had a tour with Susie a few days ago, and we are already talking about when we can go back! The tour was lovely, listening to everything Susie had to say was so fascinating, and all the stops were wonderful. My husband grew up around Amish and Mennonite families, and has since had some friendships and work relationships with some Amish, and we still learned so much. We were excited to buy her book on this visit as well, and I haven't put it down! I expect I will be rereading this many times in the future, it was inspirational and very entertaining. Susie also gives great recommendations on what to do/where to go after her tour, I wish we had scheduled more time for this visit. Wonderful experience!

We enjoyed a lovely tour with Susan! Family visiting from the west coast loved seeing the country side and experiencing the Amish life! Susan shared her knowledge in a very thoughtful and respectful way! Thank you, Susan for a peaceful afternoon that reminded us to slow down and enjoy family & community! You are a blessing! ♥️

Susan is such a wonderful person. I grew up near the Amish country when I was a child. My mother would make quilt tops and one of the Amish women would quilt them for her to sell. In being at the quilt shop so often, I became friends with one of the Amish children. Susan helped me reunite with my Amish childhood friend. The Amish girl and I were pen pals over the stretch of ten years and then lost touch. I sent her a digital copy of all the letters and she found and gave them to her! We were both so excited to reunite! We even got to arrange a phone call. Susan was so happy to bring us together. She has such a beautiful soul and everything she does is to help support the Amish community. When I was reunited with my friend, I learned how hard Susan works to help them economically. She posts photos of their crasrmanship and quilts to help sell them during these tough economic times. She is such a blessing to their community.

Great tour!! Susan is very nice and hospitable. She definitely provides a lot of information about the Amish way of life. The Amish were nice on the tour. However, they are people of few words compared to us English folk. English could easily find this offensive, but it is not. Also, non locals also wouldn't know where the shops are since all of the houses and buildings look the same and lack signs.

I wanted to express how wonderful your tour was. It was everything and more that I could have hoped for. We all really enjoyed shopping at the stores. And learning first hand more about the Amish. Thank you so much for sharing your knowledge with us. I highly recommend this tour, it also made a wonderful experience gift for my Mom and friend! Enjoyed your book as well!

We did this tour Back in 2017, we visited many shops and the women were more than happy to speak with us. Susan was very informative and took us to many other stops, she was very positive, huge smiles and easy to get along with. We ended our tour in Susans tavern for dinner and it was so lovely to get some "home cooked" style meals after our previous stops on our roadtrip. We have visited over 25 states in the US (from the UK) over the years and this tour was one of the best things we have done. We had so much fun and still talk about it to this day. We hope to bring our children back someday.

minus one star because an Amish pup chewed my engagement ring and snapped it! However, that's a funny memory we often share now and the ring has since been fixed!

Loved this tour! I went to college in the town of New Wilmington for four years and never knew the things Susan taught us, or saw the places she showed us for that matter. It was wonderfully informative and fun and I love visiting the Amish shops along the way. It truly gave me a new appreciation for the Amish and their way of life!
