Mr. Wang
Exceptional tour, it is quite budget friendly and features a lot more than you know. The only caveat is that, the tour was supposed to start early in the morning but our tour guide was late, after complaining to the agency they hired us a new Travel guide, Andy. He is a real nice person, guided us on every step. My favorite stop on this tour would definitely be the Ausable Chasm.
Babyish
I haven’t visited New York since I was a little boy, now I’m a 35 year old man with three children. During this holiday I decided to treat my family with little something and I took them on this tour, they all loved it. Especially my wife, she even refused to go from the Ausable Chasm. I had a great time at the Whiteface Mountain, the air was too cold on the chairlift but worth it in the end because of the remarkable views from the top. Thank you for organizing this tour perfectly. We will definitely book our next trip with you guys.
