Day 1
New York - Corning Glass - Niagara Falls:
Depart from NYC for Up State New York, we will head to Corning Glass Center, a showcase for the entire process of glassmaking. You will witness firsthand craftsman and artisans working superheated glass into beautiful decorative pieces. At the conclusion of the tour, you will have the opportunity to purchase an artistic piece for yourself. Afterward, we will head to the Niagara Falls, to see the majestic views of nature up close. It is important to note that Niagara Falls, consisting of the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls, and the Bridal Veil Falls has witnessed many daredevil feats ranging from barrel-jumpers to tight rope walkers. Be a bit of a daredevil yourself, and hop on a boat-ride on the Maid of the Mist (seasonal) where you can "soak" in the excitement and power of the Falls. Tonight our tour leader will bring us to see the illumination of the Falls.
Hotel: Quality hotel, Ramada or similar
Day 2
Niagara Falls - Finger Lakes(Seasonal) - New York:
We continue our sightseeing in Niagara Falls, heading to the IMAX Theatre Niagara Falls (optional) where you can experience Niagara Falls' incredible stories, and see the most complete collection of barrels that have fallen down the mighty the Falls. On the way back, we'd like to introduce you another treasure of New York State -- Finger Lakes Region. Internationally recognized for breathtaking vistas and award-winning wine, the unique geographic conditions of the region make it the ideal home for more than 100 wineries. Driving on the picturesque countryroad, you will notice something special at every turn. Overlooking Seneca Lake are acres of vineyards, the second largest after Napa Valley in the county. Surely the abundant open space will bring you back one day to visit the several state parks nearby for boating, fishing, hunting, biking, camping, or simply nature watching. Here, there's always something to suit everyone's taste.
