It was nice to see a crew member asking people if they wanted their photo taken. At the beginning of the cruise, the captain explained all the safety rules (included Life jackets, no smoking and more) along with the upcoming wonderful views. Lots of history along the Hudson River. The Ogden Mills House was one of the historic homes along the Hudson. Hope you enjoy the photo. We viewed other historic homes, ships and lighthouses. Viewing the fall foliage on the cruise was magical experience. Great bar aboard the Rip Van Winkle. The friendly bartender served me up a super delicious Strawberry Daiquiri. My friend had a Von Trapp Beer. Hot dogs, chips and big pretzels were sold too. Looks like the pretzels were a big hit because they were sold out very quickly. Restrooms are located on the lower level of the ship. There's a small parking lot available. However, there's lots of metered parking within steps of the cruise line. Best bet is to arrive to ensure your parking spot!

Its, ok. People are friendly and its a nice tranquil ride, but there really isn't much of the way…read moreof scenery. A couple of lighthouses, but that's about it to see. As a non-New Yorker, I'm not that familiar with the it, and I thought they cleaned up the river, but I saw multiple dead fish in the water, which was a little off-putting. So, overall a 'meh' experience, I don't regret it, but probably would've passed on it if I knew what I was getting into.

Hubby recently booked a Polar Express experience with Catskills Mountain Railroad for our family,…read moreand I have to say, I was beyond ecstatic! This was a first for all of us and it was especially meaningful for me. My husband has been helping me relive my childhood one memory at a time, so being able to experience this together as a family was truly special. I'd never seen or read The Polar Express in its entirety though I'd heard so many wonderful things about it, which made me even more excited for the train ride. From start to finish the experience was magical. The highlight for me was the hot chocolate. It was absolutely amazing! The cookies were nice too, though they were more on the okay side, but the fact that they came from a local bakery made it feel that much sweeter. The trip was full of joy and excitement. It was a beautiful way to create family memories and celebrate the holiday season. I highly recommend it to anyone looking to add a bit of magic to their Christmas traditions.

Only one of the open air "carriages" has backs on the benches... the others are just... benches. There are two enclosed carriages but the windows don't open. We came through Kingston on a river cruise, and this was one of the excursions. I imagine the special rides are really good... Polar Express, maybe the Easter ride. Good for children, too, but for mature adults, I wish I'd caught an Uber to the Farmers Market instead.

Her van is very comfortable, clean and full with service items for us to use, such as hand sanitizer, boots, bags, cooler bags. Incredible service!!! The tour is not only fun, but so educational and inspirational. We got to meet the owners of each farm, and learn their stories and see their operation, even see how they make things happen. So inspirational!!! Thanks to Lindsey's fantastic tour. We all enjoy very much. I would recommend whoever wants to get a break from the city to be in the farm for a day. Book a tour with Table to Farm Tours. It is totally worth it.

LOVED THIS EXPERIENCE! So very much worth it…read more Kevin and Lindsay picked us up in their shiny new van (new car smell!) that could fit a family of rhinoceroses and from there we were off to the races for an evening of wine tastings and a homemade literal farm to table fried chicken dinner that was insanely delicious, overlooking the catskills. This is owned and operated by a farm-to-table-loving husband and wife team; they are both extremely affable and deeply informative on the surrounding areas and history of the Catskills. Learned some incredible facts: ask about the ford dealership that struck a deal with Henry Ford himself! There is some time in the van between tastings, as expected, but the views are gorgeous and the company was great. They have multiple tour options so we'd definitely do this again when we visit. Thank you both!

I'm so glad we found Tour with Donovan after searching for tours of the wineries in the Hudson…read moreValley. Donovan is awesome. Very professional, listened to what we wanted, then took us to three wineries that were fantastic. Each winery had its own unique character and the wines were spot on, as well the spirits in the last one we went to. Donovan's van was very clean, well air conditioned, and had all the amenities needed to go from one winery to the next. He's very knowledgeable of the area, well prepared, and an all around fun and great guy. He picked us up at our hotel at Marriott Courtyard Poughkeepsie and after the tour dropped us off at the Beacon Train station it really worked out very well. We'll be gathering a group of friends and hopefully do another tour in the fall or before Christmas. For sure we will pick Tour with Donovan again! Thanks Donovan!

Donovan…read moreworked with me on planning the entire itinerary and made sure we were visiting wineries I'd never been to before that would fit the type of vibe I was looking for, since I was the birthday girl. Donovan set up each reservation so I had to do nothing but, book my trip with him and when he arrived he even had champagne and bottled water for us! At each stop Donovan made sure that we were treated like royalty. He didn't just drop us off, he got out with us and set us all up comfortably at each winery even going out of his way to get ice for our wine and helping us choose the best reviewed wines at each stop. Then Donovan even took pictures of our group at each stop and then sent them all to me to make sure I had memories of our trip. Donovan's vehicle was clean and well taken care of. All 9 of us fit comfortably with room for a few more. He was so hospitable and so much fun to hang out with on our drive to each stop. He played the music we liked and kept us laughing the entire time. I can't say enough about Donovan. I would definitely recommend him 100%.

I think this is an awesome distillery and I can see it being even more fun in warmer weather! This place is know for whiskey and rye. It's cool because they do sampler in a little vile glass which I think is creative. Their cocktails were also super delicious! The service was great! It's seems that they definitely have regular customers that come in. It's not too big of a spot but there was a lot of seating both tables and around the bar.

We were treated to a free, small sample of their whiskey at their bar. Its a nice stop when in upstate NY area.

The Park was created by Emile Brunel, a French- Alsatian sculptor, photographer, and filmmaker who founded what became known as the New York Institute of Photography in 1910 and began buying property in the Catskills in 1921. Between 1929 and 1941, he created the 14 concrete artworks that comprise the Sculpture Garden, most of which have recently been conserved. Since opening to the public in August of 2019, Brunel Park and our programs have drawn enthusiastic support from Ulster County’s preservation and tourism departments and businesses, municipal leaders, like-minded organizations, artists, Indigenous teachers and educators, horticulturalists, regional media, local residents and international visitors alike.

We called Arace, they answered the phone and we arranged a very short notice trip to the airport. They sent this clean SUV, the driver was very nice and they even provided us with a car seat for our little one. We can not speak for anyone else, but we were treated very well. We usually do not write reviews but felt in this situation we should give these guys a fair shake. Most angry customers write bad reviews, happy customers often don't bother to write reviews, so we had to step up and do so here.
