Emerson
I was planning for this trip along with my friends and finally picked this trip. It was a wise selection for me. My friends were a bit concerned about this tour selection, but conversely, they truly enjoyed the entire trip. Bash environment was very friendly and comfortable with a good choice of music. Smooth driving and excellent services were accepted by me all friends. Especially our guide was really supportive and guided also about few places. I personally enjoyed the fun of adventurous places like Ausable Chasm. My friends had an amazing experience of exploring views in Ausable Chasm during walking tour and biking. We all friends enjoyed this trip and had great fun. 4 stars with a suggestion of accommodation services. Thanks!

I am from India and had a memorable time with this tour. It was altogether a very good package providing good services and excellent guidance. The schedule of all days was stiff and was managed really well. I would like to especially show appreciation for our guide, Lolly! She was an adorable lady her wide information of destination was so impressive. I was so excited about the activities of all places. I loved visiting Lake Placid and had the fun of boating and fishing.

Our tour guide was very trained, well-mannered and knowledgeable man. He organized this tour very well. We had a great fun with him. Missing good days. Highly recommended.
Bradley
We had an amazing experience of this trip because it was a full package of admirable management from services to destinations. Our tour guide was very good, but the driver was a bit boring during bus travel. People on the bus were of good nature and we enjoyed this trip altogether. I was inspired by the adventurous attractions of destinations like Ausable Chasm and its thrilling experience of rock climbing or rappelling over the Ausable River. We enjoyed a good variety of food and had a very good experience with group meals.
Ying
I love mountain sights and I always enjoy their widespread beauty. Whiteface Mountain Life was a fun. I enjoyed this sightseeing experience the most and added their pictures to my mountain gallery's collection. Services were the really good example of best management. Simply, I enjoyed this trip.
