Top 10 Day Trips from in New York, United States

June 27, 2021 Alice Mieles

New York State has it all – booming metropolises, majestic waterfalls, mountains, wine country, chicken wings. Yes, NYC is a magnet for tourists, but an exploration of the rest of the state can be equally thrilling. The Finger Lakes Wine Region is a vision of serene waters, quaint B&Bs, and pretty vineyards. Movie buffs will love Rochester, home of the George Eastman House and one of the world’s most comprehensive film archives. On your way to Niagara Falls, stop in Buffalo to fuel up on spicy wings.

Excellent tour for those looking to explore the Hamptons and LI wineries. Ronald was informative, patient, more than accommodating and most important knowledgeable. Ron was also very sensitive to our concerns regarding Covid and it was obvious that his precautions were above standard. Highly recommend this tour.

This is truly the best way to see the most of New York City in a day or weekend trip. We literally saw and learned so much I can't even add one picture of each things we saw because I can only post 10. Sheldon was an amazing guide and has an abundance of New York knowledge and historical facts. He has a great personality and made it fun and interesting for my whole family (including my mother, teenage son, and 6 year old daughter). He also made it a point to always make sure we knew where we were so when we went back into the city by our selves we knew how to get where we needed to. Sheldon honestly loves New York and after he shows you around you will too.

Steve was awesome at helping us plan a last minute wine tour in NOTL. His help and relationships in planning our custom tour was instrumental in the success of our day (at the time the Covid restrictions were changing weekly). Harold was with us too taking photographs which was awesome to document our day and our time together. We will definitely use them for future trips to the area and would highly recommend them. They think of everything and have such great, personal touch’s!
