Explore Amish Country on Two Wheels with Strasburg Scooters

Fresh air, open roads, and beautiful rural landscapes make Lancaster County a wonderful place to slow down and take in the scenery. An authentic Amish buggy ride belongs on every visitor's itinerary, but don't stop there. For a completely different perspective of the countryside, hop on a scooter and explore the back roads with Strasburg Scooters. After a day of adventure, you'll be just a short drive from relaxing at B.F. Hiestand House Bed & Breakfast.

Based in the charming town of Strasburg, about 30 minutes from B.F. Hiestand House, Strasburg Scooters takes guests beyond the well-traveled roads and into the heart of Amish Country. Guided tours wind through more than 30 miles of scenic back roads, where you'll discover rolling farmland, covered bridges, Amish schoolhouses, and peaceful countryside, with stops along the journey that many visitors never get to experience.

One of the best parts of every tour is traveling with an experienced local guide who knows the area's hidden gems. Along the way, you'll stop for delicious Pennsylvania Dutch treats, browse unique off-the-beaten-path shops, and enjoy a few surprises that make every outing a little different. Instead of worrying about directions, you can simply relax and enjoy the ride while learning more about Lancaster County's history and culture.

Strasburg Scooters offers eight different guided tours, so there's something for every type of traveler. Among them, the popular Covered Bridge Tour showcases some of Lancaster County's oldest covered bridges while passing picturesque Amish farms and schoolhouses. Looking to combine sightseeing with a great meal? The Covered Bridge + Brunch Tour includes brunch at either Casey Jones' Restaurant or The Speckled Hen.

Morning travelers love the Waffles and Wheels Tour, which includes a stop at a local Amish creamery for warm, freshly made waffles topped with rich homemade ice cream. Ice cream fans can also choose the Scootin' for Scoops Tour, featuring some of Lancaster County's favorite frozen treats.

Seasonal tours add even more fun throughout the year. October brings the Spooky Scoot, an after-dark ride featuring local folklore and eerie stories as you cruise Lancaster County's quiet back roads. On Thanksgiving morning, guests can enjoy the Thanksgiving Day Tour before gathering with family and friends for their big holiday meal. Travelers seeking something truly customized can also arrange a private tour designed around their interests.

No previous scooter experience? No problem. Before heading out, your guide will teach you everything you need to know to confidently operate the easy-to-ride vehicles. Most tours use 50cc Honda Metropolitan scooters that reach speeds of up to 40 mph. Guests can also opt for one of the fun Smart Cabrio convertibles. Several of the Cabrios are wrapped to resemble farm animals, and instead of a standard horn, you'll hear a cheerful moo or oink that always gets a smile. Drivers must be at least 18 years old with a valid driver's license. (A motorcycle license is only required for the Honda PCX.)

If you're looking for a memorable way to experience Lancaster County beyond the typical tourist attractions, Strasburg Scooters delivers an unforgettable adventure filled with scenic views and plenty of local flavor and fun. Summer and weekend tours are especially popular and often sell out well in advance, so it's a good idea to reserve your spot before your trip. During your stay at B.F. Hiestand House, let Strasburg Scooters show you why the best Lancaster County memories are often found on the roads less traveled.
