I had been looking forward to a buggy ride tour. Unfortunately the covered bridge was under going repairs so had to miss that. Our guide was very open to questions and sharing about Amish life. We learned a lot. read more

This was one of our favorites things to do on our trip. Our driver, Leroy [maybe] was super nice and answered all our questions. He really tried to make us feel comfortable and was grateful for the opportunity to give us the ride. We took the short trip and it was enough but it was still something we will long remember. Do NOT miss this opportunity. In early June, it was absolutely beautiful country. We saw cattle, beautiful barns, goats, colts and so much more. read more

Fantastic! We opted for the tour that was about an hour long that took us to a farm. Levi was our tour guide. he was amazing telling us about his family both past and present. He was knowledgeable as well. Our horses Zeke and Ted were fantastic. They peed, farted and pooped in the whole hour we were with them... ha! The buggy is covered but, the elements can still get you. So sunscreen and light clothing in summer and layer up fall-Winter. They do have "plastic" drapes to bring down if it is cold or raining. I highly recommend taking this your. It is something to do and it gives you a mini perspective on the Amish lifestyle and also what it is like as a car zooms past you on the road. Slow down. read more

My wife and I took our 2 granddaughters, ages 4 and 2, to Lancaster County which is where we went as newlyweds and later as parents of our daughter and son. We decided to try AAA Buggy Rides rather than some competitor. We were not in a buddy but rather a wagonful of tourists, although the 4 of us ended up being seated right up with the driver. Because of this, we chatted throughout the ride with the driver and had a great view. Traffic buzzing by was unnerving initially, however the driver and horses were unfazed. It's a touristy thing to do, but when in Lancaster County you ought go for a buggy ride at least once. The farmland is gorgeous, and I've always had an affinity to the Plain Community. To my recollection, the ride was a bit more than an hour. The price was reasonable, considering that the owners must pass on the cost of liability insurance to the customer. I'll hold fond memories of that late August Monday for years to come! read more

My family and I had a great ride on AAA buggy rides in October. It is located near the Kitchen Kettle Village, which is a great spot to stop by before after the tour, or while waiting for it. The tour guide was a former Amish man, and he was very informative and answered my questions. We did the farm tour, which I highly recommend as it is longer and you get to see a real working Amish farm. I felt like I got good overview of Amish culture and life through this tour. Seating was comfortable, and the tour started on time. It was the highlight of our Lancaster trip. Highly recommend! read more

This was a fantastic experience and if you are in the area it is totally worth it. The driver was knowledgeable and gave us tons of info on the drive, and happily answered questions. The landscape was beautiful. We stopped at a farm and cough homemade pretzels and lemonade. They were both incredible! I would do this again! read more

I have had two different experiences with AAA Buggy Rides, and both were excellent! On both occasions, I was lucky to have Verna (ex-Amish) as my driver, and she is absolutely the best; friendly, eager to answer questions about the Amish, and informative! When I first relocated to Lancaster, PA from the west coast, my best friend and I went for a 30-minute buggy ride with our kiddos. It was raining, so we were the only passengers, and thankfully, the buggies had plastic coverings so that we wouldn't get cold and wet. Verna answered all of our questions and even cleared up some common misconceptions about the Amish lifestyle. It was a very nice ride along some Amish farms and communities. The second ride, my son and I took his grandma during the summer on a buggy ride that included an Amish farm tour. Verna was again our driver, and we had a nice ride to a local dairy farm that contracts with Horizon Organic milk. We got to pet and meet dairy cows, cuddle some sweet family dogs/puppies, feed baby goats, and buy from the family's little gift stand. AAA Buggy Rides is a family-owned business, and they employ both ex-Amish and Amish folks to drive their buggies and give tours. Every single person I have interacted with seemed genuinely sweet and very accommodating, eager to educate the "English" about the Amish lifestyle. The prices for the rides/tours are very reasonable for the experience, and the horses are very obviously loved. I will definitely bring back all of my west coast friends/family visiting, and I would highly recommend this particular buggy company to locals as well! read more

I went on the covered bridge ride, and it was a nice, calm, and scenic experience. The route included the back roads of farmlands, riding by one-room Amish schools, and going under a covered bridge. It was really neat seeing soybean and corn fields up close and feeling the breeze from passing cars. read more

AAA Buggy Rides - Up front in a buggy ride - Tours Near Me - Ronks, Pennsylvania

Honestly, one of the more "boring" tours offered in Amish county. Not worth $28 per person, as it was pretty underwhelming. We arrived here on a Friday morning ready to see the town. We had requested a "Covered Bridge Tour". We even confirmed multiple times that we were being placed on the bridge tour. During the ride, we saw ONE bridge. The rest of the time we were sitting there in silence. The tour guide was not informative, and only answered questions/gave information too concisely when the passengers asked. He was very "straight to the point", not very talkative, and was not interested in narrating. Basically we came out of the tour with no new insight about Amish life. Overall, I'd call the 55 minutes "bland". Little bit of false advertising: covered bridge tour with only one bridge.. read more

Our family had an amazing time with AAA Buggy Rides. Reuben was absolutely incredible as our guide and was so gracious with all of our questions. If we could rate higher we would- 10/10 recommend! read more

Decided to go on a buggy ride while visiting the Amish Country and this was conveniently located in Kitchen Kettle Village. We stopped at the visitors center before heading to town and this was one of the places they recommend. They even provided us a coupon for $3.00 off each ride. After looking over the rides offered we went with the 55 minute 5 mile covered bridge route. The cost is $19pp before coupon. We purchased the tickets and were told to return at 3:30pm when the next ride would depart. The carriage held 13 of us including the driver and was enclosed with plastic panels to keep out the cold. Also had comfy cushions on the seat. We had a nice ride around the area except for the crazy people driving passing illegally on the left crossing the double solid lines and the others speeding by on the right shoulder of the road... I'm amazed it didn't startle the horses and possibly injure someone. Some people clearly have no common sense. Anyway besides that the driver was nice and talked about the community and Amish lifestyle and answered any questions that came up. We passed through a covered bridge and he explained some of the history of the bridges as well. After the ride ended we got to get some pictures taken with the horses which was nice. All in all it was a nice experience and worth the money. read more

My friends and I had a great time on our AAA Buggy Ride! We happened upon their stand in Kitchen Kettle Village and after hanging out with the horses for a while we knew we had to book a ride. This is an experience in Amish Country that really shouldn't be missed. Our wonderful driver who I think was named Jacob but I could just be making that up was absolutely lovely. He was very informative and willing to answer all of our questions no matter how ridiculous. I think Jacob has heard it all! The scenery is beautiful but learning more about this way of life was the highlight of our little tour. This buggy ride is highly recommended to anyone looking to learn a little bit more about this way of life! read more

Our family took the buggy ride to tour a dairy farm and we all had a great time! John was our driver and guide and provided a wealth of information about the farm and his own personal experience growing up in the Amish community. This tour would be great in and of itself but John made it that much more enjoyable for us all. I can't recommend it enough! read more

I had the best time riding in an Amish horse and buggy. AAA Buggy Rides offers several types of buggy rides through Amish country. I choose the 5 miles ride that takes about an hour. It takes you through beautiful Amish farms and you learn all about the Amish life style. It's a very peaceful ride and only costs $20. Well worth a try. It's great for the entire family. Check it out if you have time. read more

Waste of time and money. The "farm" they take you to is a milk farm that doesn't milk anymore. Driver gave no real info unless you count: this is a wheat field, apple orchard, corn, etc. Told us 5-10 minutes which is reason we didn't do private tour. Ended up being 30-45. Would not recommend read more

Extremely disappointed....between hearing his own story and sermon on his religious beliefs didn't talk enough about the Amish community. Dressed as an Amish, just playing a part. Total tourist trap. read more

We were surprised when we found out the village closes at 5 but we made it to the buggy ride just in time. They were very friendly and our kids were able to sit up front with the driver. Then he let the 4 kids in the front drive. So cool!! The driver gave us some history of the buildings and farms as we rode by. Awesome experience!!! I highly recommend expecially if you have kids! read more

Amazing! LeRoy, our Amish tour guide, was very knowledgeable about the area and lifestyle. He always answered our questions. We also loved Lilly & George, our horses, who worked very hard to make sure we arrived back safely. I would highly recommend and will do again in the near future. read more

BEST choice we made to ride with AAA Buggy Rides! Our driver was SO genuine, happy, informative & delightful! She shared so much about her Amish life & made us feel welcome to ask questions.

60 minute buggy farm tour We were very excited to take this tour. I arrived at 9 am and placed name on list immediately. The female that greeted us seemed annoyed and unhappy to be there. After taking our names and payment we were told to be back at 945 am. We enjoyed the village and then went back at that time. We were seated with another family. The tour guide entered buggy and gave her name. Told us she would answer any questions. After that she did not say a word the whole trip! Did not provide any information on the area, way of living, history, etc. the other family would ask questions which we could not hear nor hear the responses as we were seated in the rear. Once at the farm the tour guide didn't give any information but led us to see bunch of cattle tied up, a horse and mule and then ushered into a quilt shop. So disappointing! What a poor tour of the farm! No information about the farm or the operation of the farm. Questions that were asked of the farm she did not know the answers to. I chose this company because of location in village and reviews. I would never take another ride with this company. I highly suggest that you chose another buggie ride company especially if you are hoping to learn something during the ride! read more

It was a beautiful day for a buggy ride! We enjoyed our 35 minute ride with Amos. The fee was fair and the scenery was beautiful! Next time we will do the covered bridges ride. Also, enjoyed kitchen kettle village very much. Nice little shops and not crazy busy. A perfect day! read more

Went on a buggy ride/farm tour with Rachel. She was an excellent tour guide. From the moment we got on the buggy she was explaining and pointing things out to us. She was very patient with the children that were there and answered all their questions. She explained the Amish culture and their customs. The tour of the farm was awesome. We got to see how the cows were corralled with no effort. Thanks Rachel for making our tour such a great experience. Definitely recommend this tour and Rachel as your guide. read more

This was an enjoyable and relaxing ride. The sign-in process was well organized and the staff was friendly. Our wait time was only about 30 minutes on a beautiful Saturday afternoon, and they tell you when to return to the kiosk so that it's not necessary to stand there until your tour time. We took the 55 minute covered bridge tour with our kind guide Ben, previously an Amish farmer who graciously answered all of our questions. There was one small child on the tour, and Ben could not have been nicer to the family, even letting the boy sit with him and "take the reins" for a bit which made his day. Recommendations: Sit towards the front so that you can hear the tour guide as there are no speakers. Interact with the guide - it's not really a "canned" tour and by asking questions our group learned a lot and it made the trip so enjoyable! Look on-line for coupon discounts that are good for up to 4 ppl in your party. read more

We took the 1 hour buggy and farm tour and had an amazing tour guide, Rachel. She was Amish, a former school teacher and recently got married. She had to travel to do some missionary work and described how the Amish Community supports missionary work. She answered questions about farming, and what types of crops they grow. She showed us a barn that was recently raised and told us about that process. She described how Amish children are schooled how/why they weren't in the public school. We visited the farm, saw the horses and cows. She described the different types of horses and mules used, how they were bred. She also discussed how the Amish men work in the non Amish community. She showed us a buggy and described it in depth. She told us about her family and was great with the kids. The tour for us ended up being an hour and a half. It was well worth it. I was skeptical going in, but it was very educational and a lot of fun! read more

One of the better buggy tours around. Take it out of Kitchen Kettle Village. Only problem is now it has become so popular you have to wait maybe an hour or longer to get a tour. I think at one time they offered 5 different tours. They are now down to 3. One I believe is about a half hour with no stops. Another if for about an hour and you stop at a working farm and the last also is about an hour and they give you a tour of several covered bridges, there were problems with the bridge ride the day we were there. Our guide this time was very knowledgeable, but she was not Amish and I usually prefer if the guide is either Amish or Mennonite. It just makes the ride much more fun. Also they can really tell you all about the life out there and the area. This one took us to a working farm where we stayed for about a half hour after seeing the cows, so most of the trip was just riding main roads back and forth with some time on a farm. Plan on spending abut $25.00 per person, of course that will go up over time, that is what it was going for at the time I am writing this. read more
