" I enjoyed the Finger Lakes tour very much. This is the third trip I have been on, and each one seems to top the last. The Inns were exceptional. This is the only opportunity that I have to stay in such elaborate places, and I love being pampered in style! "

Debbie Teeple

" Both the food and lodging was top notch. I especially loved the time at the Rowland House in Aurora. The property was one of the most beautiful places I have ever stayed. "

Jeff Trammell

" We thoroughly enjoyed our Finger Lakes vacation. The group of people and leaders were wonderful to be with. The routes were well planned. The roads were quiet for the most part and the scenery was beautiful. The wine and cheese receptions before dinner and the wine pairings with dinner were much appreciated and special. "
