Lancaster County is not far from Philadelphia, but it feels like a world apart. The rural character of the area — with farms and small towns — makes for appealing cycling and visiting. Expect to see the classic Amish and Mennonite horse-drawn buggies along with families clad in traditional garb. And enjoy unexpected pleasures ... like historic buildings, wildlife refuges, art galleries, a spa and more.

Visit the lovely towns of Lancaster and Litiz ... and chuckle at the charming but oddly named town of Intercourse. Learn about railroad history and visit trendy galleries to see a wide variety of art offerings.

Plus, on two of the nights, you stay at historic buildings converted to hotels. And the cycling is on quiet roads and trails with lovely scenery and options for extended riding. Join us for this enticing tour designed by insiders who know the best local routes.
