5.00We booked a private tour of just the New York side and had the best time! And our guide, Dayna, was absolutely AMAZING! She was just so personable, friendly, informative, fun!, and even took us to a few ‘extra’ spots. We got the best photos! The lunch spot at the bakery was awesome…the pizza there..yum!! It was super convenient that Dayna was even able to pick us up right at our campsite for the tour. And there was water & chocolates ready for us in the van :) Right down to the ease of booking (spoke w/Dawn who was super nice!), this was a phenomenal tour!
