Colony Visits

Description

There is more to a Colony Visit group tour than just being escorted by a step-on guide who shows you sights through windows of a coach. Whether your group is large or small; whether you are on a chartered coach or in a car caravan; which ever package you've selected, Colony Visits Packages are an experience ... guests are stimulated and involved and come away with the feeling that the intriguing history of the Amanas or the area has come alive for them in a most entertaining way. Whether your groups sight seeing tour is of Iowa's #1 Visitor Attraction, the Amana Colonies, or, an exciting Eastern Iowa attraction, Colony Visits' custom-planned sight seeing tous cater to the interests and needs of your group. After consulting with the group organizer, we design entertaining events and tours especially for your group. No two agendas are exactly alike. The 7 Amana Villages are laid out in the manner of German Dorfleins (villages) with farms at one end of the village and shops and factories at the other end, and homes in between. The Amana Villages form a circle with a circumference of about 20 miles ~ the distance between each village is 2 to 3 miles, or, as measured in the old days, two hours apart by ox cart. There's a lot of ground to cover and so much to see~ Colony Visits group hosts and guides have lived the traditions of this historic community and can introduce guests to the Amanas of today, and then help them step back in time to experience the communal Amana of yesterday.
