I in a word it was a “blast”. Riding through the back country roads through Amish country made my first time on a scooter stress free. The stops were well planned with ample opportunity to munch local treats and shop. Our guide did not hurry us and had a great sense of humor. The scooters were well maintained, easy to drive, and FUN!

We drove motor scooters down roads of Stradsberg, PA. Listened to spooky historical stories along the way. They great with safety equipment too. Loads of fun and great sights of Amish country. We went at 6: 45 pm tour which made the trip more spooky as we drove in the dark. Our tour guide was great & made sure everyone had a good time! Would definately do this again!

We did the covered Bridge Tour and it was an awesome experience! Our tour guide Brian Barr was very personable and informative about the amish culture and history. The scooter was easy to ride and very comfortable and made exploring the amish countryside a breeze! The various stops throughout the tour were excellent and showed us how the amish live and also allowed us to support their small businesses. Highly recommend this to anyone looking to learn more about the amish and explore the beautiful countryside of Lancaster PA.

SPEECHLESS! I have always wanted to go to Amish Country and finally had the opportunity to go. My friend is actually the one who found Strasburg Scooters, but I am soooo glad she did! I chose to do the tour in Bird in Hand with Dave (for no reason in particular at the time) but feel very thankful that’s the way it worked out! It ended up just being me on the tour, and Dave could have easily cancelled instead of wasting a tour on just me, but he didn’t and I had the time of my life. SUCH KINDNESS! He went above and beyond to make sure I had a memorable experience…and that I did! He was also beyond patient with me as I could not for the life of me figure out how to put the kickstand down (although I did finally conquer it at the *end* of the tour). We got a good laugh numerous times. There are no words to express the breathtaking views. Pictures truly don’t do it justice! Aside from the beautiful scenery, there are BUTTERFLIES FLYING AROUND YOU AS YOU DRIVE and you can see hundreds of caterpillars inching across the road. Dave would pull over on the side of the road to share facts with me, and he was very knowledgeable about the Amish community. Both the time and the money are 100% worth it, and they allow you to see Amish Country like you’ve never seen it before…even if this isn’t your first time! You get to ride the country backroads at a leisurely pace and take in everything as you go. You go from riding with fields stretching for miles and miles on each side of you to riding between cornstalks that tower high above your head! There’s another scooter tour in Strasburg. If I would have had the time (I was just here for the day) I would have done that one, too!Even if you don’t have much experience with scooters (I had only ridden one once before), it is totally doable and EXTREMELY WORTH IT! You get the hang of it very quickly and Dave also walks you through everything beforehand.You will absolutely NOT regret this tour!Thanks, Dave!

Despite the on/off rain Brian, our scooter tour guide, made our first time riding scooters a great experience! The rain was predicted to stop by the time our 9am tour started but didn't. Brian remained optimistic, enthusiastic and safe. His patience with the quick training/practice was reassuring for my nerves. Overall we had a great time in addition to the sun finally making it's way on the way back to end our tour.

We went on this trip several weeks back and had a blast. We rented two single seat scooters and one Scoot coupe and did the Covered Bridge Tour. It makes for a great family outing. The kids can go with adults in the Scoot Coupe or, if they're old enough, can go on their own Single seat. The tour guide was great (I'm sorry I don't remember his name), had an amazing knowledge of the area and was very comical. He represented the business VERY well, to the point that I thought he may be the owner. Thanks for the pictures by the way!! I hope he's the guide on our next visit. We'll certainly be doing this again probably in October when they do The Spooky Scoot tour.

Absolutely wonderful birthday experience! We went on the 3 hour tour of Lancaster county bridges in the scoot coupe. Incredible views of the country. Our guide was very knowledgeable, enthusiastic, and caring of our safety. We even had a surprise visit with a local Amish family which was very nice. And despite it being 100 degs, we still had a blast. Looking forward to another outing!

16:46 22 Jul 21

Great ride informative did expect to see more than 3 covered bridges. scooters are fun to drive wish they had different way to make sure people know how to ride before they can sign up for scooter vs coup. Was very hot day we went. One inexperienced person took about 10 to 15 mins attempting to learn to ride while the rest of us had to sit and bake in blistering sun, heat and humidity with no shade before they finally gave her a coup to use in stead Would highly recommend tour. Had great time once we got out on the rode.

My boyfriend and I were visiting Lancaster for a long weekend and while looking for things to do we saw this! I have been to Lancaster many times and will continue to visit. But once you take these scooters out you will see Lancaster differently and even more beautifully. Our tour guide was great and made it personal for all of us. Make sure you have your camera out for so many great photo ops! we will definitely do it again on our next visit!! We even stopped at an amish home to see their farm and had some fresh baked goods and lemonade. it was so much fun and so nice to see Lancaster through a different view. the tour guides know the best back rounds and scenic routes! will be back soon

My husband and I took our four boys on the Bird In Hand tour, along with my my husband's cousin and spouse. We all had a wonderful time. In fact, it was the most fun I have had in a long time. Our 16 year old wasn't too thrilled at first but after he had some ice cream he really started to enjoy himself and he even laughed while going down some of the hills. That is a huge win in my book. The other three boys all have autism and they loved it. One of our twins hardly ever smiles and I saw him smiling a lot on this tour and that is high praise from him.Brian was an awesome guide and took the time to talk to all of the tour members and he kept things fun and upbeat.I'm hoping to get my father-in-law out with us on another tour on one of our next trips here because I know he would love it.I highly recommend Strasburg Scooters.

Tour date - 6/21First day of vacation. Showed up, checked in, grabbed a bite to eat, and then headed out to go to Strasbourg Scooters for a Scooting for Scoops tour. What an absolute blast!! We got a quick run down of how the coupe worked and then lined up to hit the road. The ride through the back roads was very beautiful and the local folks very friendly. The guide was very friendly and informative about Amish culture. The local ice cream is made from Jersey cows and gives it a slightly different flavor than most ice cream I have tried but it was just as delicious! Was a great first day of vacation activity to see the area, get outdoors, and have some sweets.

Ryan Blanchette

01:51 11 Jun 21

Let me tell you something-this is an awesome experience.... Even though we just did the tour during a very, very cold May Day! But the funny tour guide, Brian, and the rest of the fun tour group made it really wonderful!

Strasburg scooters is the way to go if you want a fun way to see some of Amish country and covered bridges as well as doing something different. My friend and I who are from the surrounding area did the covered bridge tour. Dave and Brian were our guides that day. They were very knowledgeable about bridges as well as Amish cultures. They were very professional and friendly. Scooters were very comfortable and easy to get used to. We rode around parking lot until we were comfortable and Brian felt we were safe to head onto the road. So if you want to see area book a scooter tour not a bus tour. The feel of the fresh air and freedom of riding a scooter just makes this the way to go.

Today was basically a “private” tour😎It was just me and Andy and we travelled the back roads around Bird in Hand. I have visited Lancaster County many times, but Andy has extensive knowledge of the area and took me on places and roads I never knew about. He first explained the scooter and its operation, gave me some tips on safety and handling, let me ride around the parking lot until I felt comfortable, and off we went.Some highlights we saw were a woodworking shop, a farrier (blacksmith), goat farm, dairy farm ( with great ice cream) and many other local points which you would never find by yourself. We also passed a “camel farm” but they weren’t out today😁Everyone was very friendly and explained everything. It is the only way to see Lancaster County. Well worth what you pay. I will definitely return and do the covered bridge tour !Thanks again to Andy for making the day great😎

I would highly recommend anyone wanting to travel through Amish country to forget about the bus tours. Strasburg Scooters is the way to go. It is so much more personal and up close. The vehicles were very fun, safe and easy to use. The Covered Bridge sightseeing tour was particularly good because it did not stop at every little shop and store but traveled the countryside where the Amish live. Our guide, Andy, who was excellent, provided great information at stops along the way. Looking forward to returning next time. A+ from this reviewer.

This was a great experience to see the beautiful landscape of the Amish farms. My wife and I took the side by side scooter for two and some other people took the motorcycle type scooters. It was 2 hours long and 14 people on the same tour. The owner explained how to use each vehicle and never left anyone behind. Even though it was only 45 degrees outside we had a blast.

This was my second time at Strasburg Scooters and I can promise it won't be my last! This time I took my boyfriend, my 5 year old niece, and 8 year old nephew. We did the Country Roads Excursion and while it was a chilly morning, we all had a blast! Marc was a very fun and informative guide and for some reason he took to the four of us right away. The kids loved his teasing and the whole tour was the highlight of our weekend adventures in Amish Country!!Oh, and now my boyfriend wants to go work for them. If that's not the best compliment, I don't know what is!Thanks for a great time!

I was blown away by the views and don't even get me started on the awesome stops we made. It was an A++ experience. I highly recommend this excursion.

These scooter rides are highly recommended for people visiting Lancaster, especially those fairly new to the area. They are a fun way of cruising the rural back roads that one normally would not drive on if not living locally.The only caveat to these little excursions is that they seem to be centered around the Amish. This may be great for many who are not familiar withese hard working religious people. However, Amish can be found throughout the continental US, especially in Northwest Pa, where they are not well accepted and considered annoying, though the Amish were there well before those suburbanites moved in to the developed former farmlands. There is more to Lancaster County than the Amish, however this particular tour focused on visiting local small family owned Amish retail establishments with what appeared to be the intent to get people to make purchases from them. While my wife saw this as Amish trying to capitalize on tourists, I was very pleased to discover these places that I never knew existed despite the many trips to Lancaster over the years.We were the last tour of the day and in fact were the only ones, so we got a personalized tour. We were informed that speeds would be low at about 30mph, but thankfully we reached speeds close to 50 at times, making it a little thrilling. Exploring the back roads was a lot of fun, and what was also pleasant was the smiling faces of the Amish young people who wave to you emphatically as you pas them. A group of what looked like Mennonite kids yelled for us to hit the horn.The tour takes a couple of hors that go by pretty quick. Our tour guide, I believe her name was Jessica, was fantastic and very pleasant despite being disappointed that we not only showed up late, but did not notice she tried to contact us about starting the tour early to end early, which we would have done.I recommend this tour, but when you go, take a lot of cash as some of the places you visit don't take cash and you WILL want to purchase something. It is also customary to tip the tour guide as well. One little Amish market has an ATM but you will be charged a fee at the machine and probably by your bank as well.After your scooter ride, if not full from your sweets and ice cream you bought, go across the street to the Bird in Hand restaurant and stuff yourself sick.

The Strasburg Scooter tour of Lancaster was excellent! The views of the rolling hills and farms from my moped were beautiful. I enjoyed all of the Amish owned stops along the way, 4 total shops (soft pretzels, quilts, ice cream, and popcorn). We spent 3 hours enjoying the sites and stores. I deducted one star because of their disregard for wearing masks when closer than six feet; though, it does seem that this area in general is not concerned about COVID.

Frequently Asked Questions

Are these guided tours or do you scooter rentals?

All of our scooters are only used for guided tours of Lancaster County, PA. You’ll be led by an experienced guide as you visit places you probably wouldn’t find on your own. It’s much more enjoyable to follow your guide than trying to follow a GPS or map while riding your scooter. The tour guides will answer your questions and give you fun facts along the way. Relax and enjoy your trip! Pick a tour here »

Do I need a driver’s license or motorcycle license?

A valid motorcycle license is required for drivers riding one of our two wheel Honda PCX150 scooters. A valid driver’s license is required for driver’s of all other scooter models, including our three-wheel, double-seat scoot coupes. Passengers are not required to have a license. Driver’s must present the applicable license at the time of the tour. If you do not have your driver’s license, you will not be able to drive a scooter, but if you forget it, keep in mind that you may be able to ride as a passenger with someone else in your group, based on availability and may require additional fee (ex. if upgrading to the three-wheel Scoot Coupe).

What if I’ve never driven a scooter before?

We offer both 2-wheel motorized scooters and 3-wheel “scoot coupes” (no balancing ability required & fit two people). Riding a 2-wheel scooter is very similar to riding a bicycle. We will provide every operator with training prior to the tour. We focus on balance, throttle, and brakes. You don’t have to have ever driven (or ridden) on a scooter before, but booking a two-wheel scooter is strongly discouraged for guests that have never ridden a 2-wheel bicycle. If we do not feel comfortable with your ability to safely operate a scooter, we will not take you on the tour (unless you’re a passenger with someone else). We offer 3-wheel Scoot Coupes which require no balancing ability to operate. Riders not able to operate a two wheel scooter may upgrade to a Scoot Coupe, for an additional fee, based on availability. See scooter options here.
