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.

This was the second time I took a bike tour with Marc. I enjoyed it so much the first time I brought a few new friends along to share the experience . The ride was at a leisurely pace so even a occasional bike rider would be fit enough to do it. Marcs humor and knowledge kept it entertaining as well as informative. Buffalo has a rich history. I recommend this tour to Buffalonians as well as tourists.

Gonnie and Chris are a dynamic duo! The tour exceeded all of my expectations! For just sampling food and drinks, I left feeling extremely satisfied with the amount of food and beverages that were served along the way. I had no idea Lewiston had such a rich history and culture! It was fascinating to learn about the beautiful village and all of the influential people who lived there. I sampled food that I would have never dreamed of tasting, and it really opened my eyes (and my palate) to exciting and delicious flavor combinations. Gonnie, our tour guide, made the experience

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!

We went to a Japanese restaurant, cookie shop, Latin eatery and a Mediterranean restaurant. The guide was interesting, knowledgeable and attentive and the food was great. She gave us history of the area as well as information about the restaurants. The only issue was the first restaurant where we were to meet did not seem to know that we were coming but it worked out.
