We also discovered excellent dining spots such as The Elf in The Oak in Burdett, The Red Brick Pub, Little Italy in Seneca Falls, and Pudgie's Pizza in Watkins Glen. Hiking the Gorge trail at Watkins Glen State Park was a highlight. Driving three laps at speed on the Watkins Glen International racetrack for just $30 was an unforgettable experience.”— G9519QDbills

7. Private cultural walking tour of Ithaca's historic market

9. Wine tasting tour of Seneca Lake wineries

Full-day tour visiting four wineries around scenic Seneca Lake, with options for lunch at Tabora Farms & Café.

“Deb, our driver, was excellent. The experience was enjoyable overall. However, we suggest having the lunch stop after visiting two wineries and then finishing the tastings at the last two. While lunch was good, the $76 paid for it felt excessively high considering the actual cost was only $22.”— greggJ9954EU

10. Private historic walking tour of Ithaca's cultural landmarks

Two hours on foot — explore Ithaca Commons, the First Unitarian Society, and more, with a knowledgeable guide.

“I initially scheduled my tour for Saturday, but when rain was forecasted, I shifted it to Sunday at 9 am. Despite receiving an email confirming this change, there was a miscommunication and the tour occurred at 8 am instead. It appears there is a breakdown in communication between TripAdvisor and Viator. The tour itself lasted about two hours and was definitely worth it. My guide was knowledgeable, well-prepared, and provided a wealth of information about Ithaca's history, which made up for the booking misunderstandings.”— Travelworld12345
