Both the tour guide and driver had been doing great. I am impressed that the tour guide TING TING LI was able to speak Chinese and English fluently. We had a wonderful trip for the past two days The Itineraries are on time, and our guide (Ting Ting Lin) is very communicative, organized, and on point of the itinerary. The driver also fasts and smooth drive though in some parts the road is slippery due to rain, he managed to get us on time and safely. The only unpleasant thing is the bus is dripping of water, smell bad stinky and AC is not working good but overall the 2 day trip is worth the money had a wonderful time.

This tour is perfect for a weekend getaway! The pace was slow and relax. Just what I needed.The scenery was breathtaking. I hope you will have more like this. There’s a lot of beautiful places in New York State that even New Yorkers have not seen.
