10 Tours in New York That You Shouldn't Miss
New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Christopher is awesome! Makes sure that everybody understands the tour and how many wineries are going to be visited. He let us know the layout of each place before we went, and let us know what wines he preferred over others. He made great suggestions, and we actually purchased a bottle from his recommendations. He has fun knowledge about the area, and the history that is Niagara Falls. Did you know Air Condstioning was invented here!? Me either! Those are the fun little tidbits He shares along the tour. An excellent driver, and he does not hurry anyone to go to the next winery. I HIGHLY recommend this tour! Thanks again Christopher for being awesome!

I'm not one to get spooked easily or a firm believer of the spirits, but there were some pretty spooky parts. Alyssa, our tour guide, was great and extraordinarily knowledgeable about the history of Greenwich Village. As a new local to the city, it was the perfect combination of a history lesson and fascinating ghost stories that my partner and I were looking for. For me, it's especially surreal to know that I have passed by the house that John Wilks Booth stayed the night before he went on to make history without even knowing it dozen of times before I went on this tour. I would recommend it to anyone that likes any sort of dark history or paranormal activities.

Absolutely wonderful experience . For a 3 course meal + scenery the price is great! The food served was very tasty and satisfying. The staff was very kind and helpful even took a few pictures when asked. The Statue of Liberty was the highlight of the trip . I would prob enjoy the cruise more later in the summer when outside is mostly hot and you’ll be able to actually go outside and look around more .But since it’s spring it’s still very chilling and breezy outside on the water. But overall service ,price ,getting there everything was just 100!

First and foremost where do I start. First our tour guide Robert was amazing and informative about Niagara Falls he was charismatic with himself and made sure everyone was safe and having a good time. I thank you for our tour sir. We got to see all the falls I don't know why people say you only see half of the horseshoe fall we seen the whole thing up close on maid of the most. I was very pleased how all the views were spectacular it was unbelievable experience I will definitely do this tour AGAIN!!!. Pricing was great as well for what you are getting there is another company that charges about 20$ more then this one and getting the same thing. I must remind you...you will get extremely wet from the cave of the winds and maid of the mist so bring sandals or slides but ready for an amazing experience.
