    Raphael Vineyard
    Maggie B.

    I booked their Long Island wine tour with a group of friends. We went on a Sunday and the bus was fully packed. We weren't able to sit directly next to each other but were lucky to grab four aisle seats across from each other so we were close enough to talk. Our tour lead was very upbeat and friendly. We made three stops. All of the vineyards were about five minutes from one another. The trip to the first winery from the pick up location at 85 Delancey Street was about an hour and forty five minutes. We passed some greenery, but mostly stayed on the highway so it wasn't particularly scenic. It might be nicer in the Fall when the leaves change. At the first winery, Lenz, they served us a glass of rose as the first tasting as soon as we walked in. We were seated at outdoor picnic tables. They came around about every 10-15 minutes after that to pour the next two tastings, a red and a white wine. For these, you had the option to choose between two different wines. After the tastings, we were able to walk around the vineyards, which were lovely and sunny. This first stop is also where we had lunch. The vegetarian option wasn't great. Cold, limp, flavorless grilled veggies were served on a whole wheat bun. Lunch also included chips, which is what I used to fill up. The second stop was Raphael, which was my favorite. One of the owners gave a brief history of the vineyard and then provided a description of each of the wines in the tasting. We sat at large tables and the tasting flight was pre-poured before we arrived. They also served packaged charcuterie meals that included prosciutto, mozzarella, and crackers. After the tasting, we bought bottles of wine. Note that the prices are higher if you drink the wine at the vineyard rather than buying to go. They have a second floor balcony with a gorgeous view of the sprawling vineyards below. The last spot was Osprey Dominion. We felt like just a number here, as it wasn't a very personalized experience. We had four tastings, but no one guided us through the selections. You could purchase hot dogs here as well as "sangria" which was basically just a rose spritzer. You could walk through the vineyards, but they were not as picturesque as the first two spots. We got back to the city safely and on time. Overall, it was a fun, well-organized day but maybe a bit overpriced.

    Phenomenal experience. Amazing staff Bella and Kaira. They where very informative and friendly. They made sure everyone was comfortable, safe and enjoying their time. They interacted with everyone throughout their wine tour experience. Thank you sooooo much for having outstanding, amazing service and being the mega hostess that you ladies where. I can't wait too book more events with you ladies. They also where very punctual and I enjoyed the fact rain or sun we still went out and enjoyed ourselves. Thanks again

    This tour that I was on was for an early birthday celebration for me at 3 wineries as included in the tour. Our guide was Sophie and she was amazing! I went on a guided tour before but this one was so much better. I found them on Groupon but I believe the prices may be cheaper if you go to their website. And on this what lunch was included in almost every single tour. The first one had a hearty lunch and the second had a snack. The wineries selected were beautiful! We went to Lenz, Raphael, & Ospreys wineries. And my friends and I loved them all! We had a great time, the host was helpful, kind, and pleasant, and the bus was very clean and spacious! I'll definitely be doing this again!

    We did the Denver snow tubing and brewery tour in January. We were the first tour they have done so they still have to iron out the kinks. The tour guide was very nice and friendly. The major con about our trip was I felt there was a lot of waiting around at every point and no one knew what was going on. The bus was nice and they played a movie for us to watch on the drive. The tubing was fun. The food was extremely spicy chili (no one ate it) with salad, breadsticks and a beverage. Someone asked if they had vegetarian chili and it looked like they hadn't thought of that but were able to accommodate him. The brewery was a small microbrewery. I saw a few people order food here (probably because they didn't eat the chili). Overall this is a great idea for tourists that don't have cars and want to spend the day outside of Denver. Once they do a few tours I'm sure the kinks will have been ironed out

    The staff is really not helpful! The trip was not as advertised, we bought tix to the river tubing with brewery and all we got was a beer drink not a brewery stop. They claim they don't allow alcohol on board the bus but there was a party of 7 that were heavily drinking and being obnoxious and the staff did nothing about it. Terrible bus ride ! As I can't reply to you reply Helen.. I'm following up on your reply to show backup support this review is valid and we did take the tour. It was in August 2022 and received an email to review the tour.

    Whitewater rafting on Lehigh River, Fall 2015.
    Helen P.

    I've been on several trips with Sourced Adventures: a camping and whitewater rafting trip at Lehigh River, a one-day ski trip at Hunter Mountain, and a one-day rafting trip, again at Lehigh. When it comes to excursions that take you away from (and back to) NYC, this is the best bang for your buck! The roundtrip transportation and adventure packages make it easy for a NYC resident without a car to get out of the city. Note that I do adventure with other companies for various other trips, but keep coming back to Sourced Adventures for certain deals. I bought my first trip through Living Social, but once you get on their email list, they'll send you promo codes that make third-party deals obsolete. Plus, you can call them directly to work out a deal if you miss the deadline for a promo code. They'll work with us! I got to know some of the staff a bit during the camping and rafting trip I took with them last fall. They're a fun bunch! The date I initially booked was cancelled and I agreed to reschedule on the absolute last day of rafting that Whitewater Challengers, the folks that provide the actual rafting tours and provides the guides and gear, was running a tour. I was disappointed by the date change, but getting to hang out with the crew made up for it...and they released the dam that weekend and we had a more adventurous than usual trip down the river. BLAST! It's nice to be driven out of the city for an adventure and after a full day of activities, it's nice to lay back and get driven back.

    Sourced Adventures gave us an unforgettable experience for our wedding anniversary.
    Nery A.

    I got a water rafting package here last summer for my wedding anniversary with my husband. It was our first rafting trip and my husband usually questions trips like this since I am the adventurer in the relationship but he loved is so much due to the way the guides from Sourced Adventures set it up in making the whole experience fun and safe. We first met the staff and group of adventurers at a certain location in Manhattan where we would be transported to Lehigh River. When we arrived to the river, the staff provided equipment and instructions on how to handle the paddle when hitting the water. My husband and I were placed in a raft with another group of strangers who immediately embraced us like long-lost friends. It is obvious that we were going to end up bonding since we all had to work together as a team in order to figure out how to get the boat moving. And even so more when we ended up getting stuck on a rock formation but thanks to the witty water guide, we were able to escape. The guides also provided buckets so that we could splash opposing teams, which made the trip even more amazing that I thought it would be. Then after an hour or so, we took a break for lunch and were provided with different options, from peanut butter to turkey and ham sandwich along with soft drinks and snacks. Overall, the staff was friendly, well-organized, and the true spirit of awesomeness. If you want to go on an adventure, Sourced Adventures is the people you want along your side so you'll have a good time and at the same time, they'll be keeping you safe on your journey.

    Tubing tracks
    Katie K.

    I was on the maiden voyage of the night tubing, brewery, and dinner trip to Mount Snow. This is my honest review of how things went, hopefully they will improve it for the next group. Bus: The bus driver was very nice and the bus was clean however there was no toilet paper in the bathroom or hand sanitizer. Tubing: The tubing was fun but there were a lot of other people tubing besides our group so there was a wait to go down. The staff at the mountain seemed uninterested in their jobs which was a little bit of a bummer when you are waiting to go down and the guy isn't paying attention at the top of the mountain and missing the all clear flag wave down below. We also found a wallet on a track and the staff just took it. Hopefully it was returned to its owner? There was a nice fire pit at the bottom of the tracks that was nice to warm up by at least. Brewery: When you go to a brewery you are expecting a beer tasting or a tour right? This is literally a small bar with old board games. We played board games and bought our own beer for 2 hours at a "brewery". The Italian dinner: The "Italian dinner" was literally a small buffet set up in the corner of the bar on a folding table with 2 large containers of salad, eggplant parm, dinner rolls, and PASTA WITH MINI HOTDOGS. No joke. It was a serving tray of spaghetti with a jar of sauce dumped in only the center with mini hotdogs. When I asked what the deal was with the hotdogs I was told the caterer is a kosher chef. The food was just aweful and I don't understand why they choose that caterer. Staff: The staff was nice but they didn't really seem to be organized. We were told the bus was staying right across from the tubing so we left things on the bus that we could grab if it got too cold- then the bus left. We didn't know how long we were tubing for our when to get back on the bus, one person told us 6:15 so we stopped around 6 then around the fire we were told 7. They played music way too loud on the way to the brewery and said if we didn't like it then blame it on so and so if the staff. This trip just was not worth the money and I was happy to just get home.

    Great staff Great trips Great local get aways I have been skiing, snowboarding, and rafting with them and its worth every penny. They offer different degrees of buses. The ones they offered in winter were better, more spacious + clean. But the rafting trips are hands down probably the most fun thing, theyve got going on.. Ive been a customer for 4 years.

    Raphael wine venue
    Dacia K.

    I have been on a few tour excursions ,But yesterday by far was the most fun with Sourced Adventures and our guide Raven who everyone just loved on the bus!!! We went out to Long Island and visited 3 wine venue a total of 12 tasting.My sister and I ended up buying bottles from each venue,just to get out of NY was so relaxing.Raven made us laugh ,kept us comfortable and most of all safe along with the driver.She was on top of everything making sure we knew the rules of the venues constantly doing her head count so everyone was accounted for.Stepping off the bus when we got back to NY to say thank you to everyone for coming out to enjoy the day.i will definitely be doing this again and THANK YOU Raven

It's wild walking into the American Dream mall and suddenly stepping into a real indoor snow park with actual snow, lifts, and multiple slopes. Perfect for scratching that ski/snowboard itch when it's 90 degrees outside or just getting some practice in during the off-season. The snow felt legit (cold and grippy), the terrain park features were fun and progressive for all levels, and the staff was helpful with rentals and getting everyone set up. We did a couple of hours and it was plenty of time to get solid runs in, work on technique, and hit some jumps and rails without the usual outdoor crowds or icy conditions. Great for beginners and families. There is also snow tubing which was really fun!

It was my first time skiing or snowboarding but I was fortunate to have a friend with me that can teach me how to snowboard. I think at base price the day pass only provides 2 hours on the slopes which is not a lot of time, I don't think I would pay full price out of pocket. There was a Groupon offer at the time that significantly reduced the price of my visit and at the price point I would encourage going. While there isn't anyone there to actively teach you how to ski or snowboard, the fake snow is quite soft making it a good place to learn. However the slopes aren't too steep and it's hard to gain speed so if you are someone experienced not sure if I would recommend this visit. Staff is incredibly nice at helping you fit into your snowboard or ski or grab rentals with the all inclusive day pass. The lines can get long so I would say in a 2 hour period we were able to get on the lift about 7-8 times. But I had a fine time during my visit here. I think it's a great place to start your ski and snowboard journey, fall at ton but safely on soft snow to break the initial fear of trying something new. However would probably not come again.

Gundula and Bruce were excellent hosts, very organized, made everyone feel included and welcome the entire week. The village at Whistler was amazing, very convenient and had many options for food, bars and shopping. I highly recommend joining them on their next ski adventure. Kelly. Venice, CA.

    Ski souls has been such an incredible experience for me. I've been on two of their trips and they…read morehave been absolutely amazing. I love that lodging, ski passes, activities, special dinners and Apres ski fun has all been planned. It's perfect for a busy professional who just wants to show up and not have to worry about itinerary or having a great group to ski with! I also love Gundula and Bruce, the very involved and participating owners. They are such an amazing resource and know all the best places to ski, shop, eat and have fun. Their infectious enthusiasm for skiing and people is evident throughout the trip. We all felt loved! The skiing, lodging, activities and dining are without a doubt, five star and world class. But, the element that surprised me the most were the friendships made along the way. There is a very special bond with these ski souls that you'll just have to experience yourself! I would highly recommend this luxury ski travel company. If you're fortunate enough to join them on one of their trips you're in for the best ski trip of your life! Thank you Ski Souls for memories and skiing adventures I'll treasure forever.

    Really unique glamping experience in NYC with amazing waterfront views. The tents are comfortable…read moreand the setting feels like a true escape from the city. A few downsides. It is expensive, service at the restaurant was slow, and there was a party boat going late into the night which made it less quiet than expected. We stayed out when they first opened and loved it so much but then didn't have any issues with boats, and also the price was half the cost then which makes much more sense for the experience. Still a fun and memorable stay, just not quite as relaxing as it could be.

    The Collective on Governor's Island was a little staycation adventure that I took with a few…read morefriends. The ride on the ferry is included in your booking and there is a golf cart that can bring you from the ferry to the "campground." Some folks who packed light opted to ride in on Citibikes. The walk from the ferry was nice but could be long if you have small children or elderly people. We started off on the wrong foot since our accommodations were slated to sleep up to 4 but there was only one bed. We ended up having to add a cot that tacked an additional $100 fee to the bill. Therefore when booking, I would recommend that you contact them beforehand to ensure your party will be suitable to the room. Our booking was for August and it did get a little cool so bring a sweatshirt just in case. The room was cute and had lots of seating and pillows. Towels, hand towels and washcloths are set in your room so do be sure to ask for any extras that you may need. I recommend booking a dinner reservation for the restaurant on site as you will not find many other options. Those options are not a short walk away and have limited hours. Would I go again? Absolutely, since I now know what to expect. The Collective is a nice option to camping in the City where it feels as if you were not in the middle of NYC. Is it fancy? Not really. Is it expensive? Yes. Is it worth a try if you want to try something new? Sure. Pro tip: There is NO access to refrigeration on site. They do provide a sizeable cooler in the tents but you will need to request a lot of ice and they were not very giving when I was there. #2) Bathrooms are a short walk from the tents but there's a gravel road with grass and its a bit annoying if you need to pee in the middle of the night!

I forgot to cancel more than 24 hours before so I was able to get a credit of my trip and will be able to use that credit for the next time I want to travel which I appreciate.

He scanned our ticket and we boarded. The bus was pretty full, so we ended up sitting separately. The above head storage bins are kind of tight, so I had to take something out of my over stuffed backpack to manage to wiggle it in. While my purse sat on my lap. I liked the foot rest and the hook on the handle on the seat in front of me. Trash bags were hung here and there. Looks like they also provided small bottles of water for us, though we had to grab those ourselves. The electric plugs didn't seem to work, but perhaps the ubs plugs in the ceiling did. Our driver was a great communicator. He set expectations so we knew that we had a 20 min rest stop before arriving at Baltimore, and pointed out things to help us to pay attention and to get back to the right bus. He warned us that given current construction that we were sure to arrive later than what our tickets said, and gave us his best eta given the circumstances. Another passenger later commented that the bus bathroom was clean. We kind of ended up being dropped off on a brightly painted bridge in the middle of no where - perhaps on Maryland Ave?, by a bus stop. A short walk from Penn Station.
