Thanks a lot for making our weekend so wonderful and providing us such a great discount. There was just so much to do at the Ausable Chasm from hiking, exploring, and biking. The cable ride was amazing. Good days!

At the beginning this tour was fine, we took a cruise ride at Lake George. By the end of the day, the weather was so hot, and the hotel room didn't have AC working. Even with plans to the tour guide, they refused to change it. It was a restless night and the next day we had to leave early. This was only thing bugged me on this tour.

This was a good bus tour, it was my first time with this company, thus I settled for something compact and featured good places. The gondola ride was quite exciting, the tour guide and everyone on our bus was nice and helpful. I will definitely recommend this agency to everyone with a limited budget plan.

the tour was such an inexpensive one, the destinations were remarkable. Booking our seats online was easy, facilitating as well. The boat cruise & Ausable Chasm tour was the reason I loved this trip. However though, Quality Inn wasn’t a decent place to stay but yes, we had many options. Great photograph opportunities.
