You are about to witness something wonderful. There is a world of difference between New England’s and Pennsylvania Dutch Country’s way of life, so I don’t have to tell you that the Christmas traditions are no exception. This year, we’ll immerse ourselves in Christmas the Penn Dutch way! And, on the way, we’ll also take time in Philadelphia and Hershey, Pennsylvania.
You’ll experience a land of historic culture, Penn Dutch Country, where both Amish and Mennonite ways of life are still preserved. You’ll travel to Lancaster County, staying three nights at the renowned Heritage Hotel. On day one, you’ll visit Philadelphia, PA where a native guide will board our coach and point out the historical sights of the “City of Brotherly Love”. We will take a guided Amish farmland tour and visit local Amish craft shops. We’ll check out the Country Kettle Village; explore the Bird in Hand Farmer’s Market; and we’ll visit the Julius Sturgis Pretzel Bakery and Wilbur Chocolate Store as well.
Our excursion includes round trip transportation, three nights at the exciting Heritage Hotel including room & taxes, as well as three dinners, three breakfasts, a visit to Philadelphia, deluxe motor coach transportation, and admission to all listed activities. We’ll visit the 2,000 seat Sight & Sound Theatre for a performance of The Miracle of Christmas, an unforgettable experience. You’ll also take in the Christmas Spectacular at the American Music Theater. You’ll see more singing and dancing than you ever imagined. And on our way home we’ll make a stop at Hershey’s World of Chocolate.
You won’t starve in Pennsylvania Dutch Country! There’s no better way to enjoy Lancaster County than by indulging in centuries-old recipes that have been passed down from generation to generation. You’ll have the opportunity to try golden fried chicken, pot roast, baked sausage, sweet and sour ham, and real mashed potatoes. Bakery fresh raisin bread, shoo-fly pie, and apple dumplings are a few of the other treats in store for you. We call this trip a ten-pound tour…why? It’s entirely possible that you will gain ten pounds if you sample everything.
Breakfast will be included every morning at the Heritage Hotel, but we’ll also pay a visit to Miller’s Smorgasbord where you’ll be tempted by everything from chicken pot pie to pickled red-beet eggs. We’ll dine at the Stockyard Inn and The Greenfield Inn for upscale dinners and the best gift shops around!
Departure will be from the Railroad Station in the center of Warren at 7:30 AM, Thursday, October 31, 2019. Drop-off at the end of the tour will be in the same location in the center of Warren at approximately 6:00 PM. We hope that you will join us on this voyage of discovery. We can accommodate a maximum of 50 passengers for this trip on a first come, first served basis, so call me at (413) 436-5357 to reserve your space.
