Wonderful tour. We visited beautiful places and touched small towns and villages. The scenic route and natural views were awesome. I was well prepared for the tour. Hiking shoes, water bottle, some snacks, good camera etc, all I needed while visiting Adirondack Park, Ausable Chasm, Whiteface Mountain. I will give high rank to Alpaca Farm, Plimoth Plantation, and Whiteface Mountain. The guide was very helpful and have a good knowledge of places. he told us interesting facts about the points and managed the tour very well. The best part was good food. It was amazing throughout the tour but I never forget the Lobster meal at bay. It was very fresh, tasty and delicious. Highly recommended.
