Rochester Travel Guides (Updated October 2026)

The Corning Glass Museum is incredible. The Museum has a huge collection of glass from all over the world and throughout time. The sheer beauty of some of the pieces is astounding. The interactive areas of the museum interest people of all ages. There are also demonstrations of glass blowing and formation. Visitors can also take classes in various elements of glass making. To fully appreciate this museum takes some time so plan on a few hours.

Here are the grades I would give to this attraction:Operations: A Maintenance: A Cleanliness of the grounds: A Food: N/A Employee friendliness and professionalism: A+ Overall grade: AThis is a great living museum with many historic buildings. Live character actors help bring the history and old-fashioned trades to life. They were all very knowledgeable and experts at their crafts, for those who did things like weaving and broom making. This is NOT to be missed!

What a great learning experience. The artwork was magnificent, and the collection was preserved and showcased in style.Cafe prices were too high for our liking but a good option for a day-log outing.The glass hands-on experience was pretty cool.

We had a wonderful time! Our guide was entertaining and knowledgeable. We are planning to come back again do her food tour when we are back in the area. Definitely recommend!!

We enjoyed each of the vineyards we visited! It was wonderful to have Randy’s experience as a local guide in addition to being able to have a sober driver take us to each vineyard. An added bonus was Randy’s willingness to take lots of great photos which will always help us remember a great day!

Nice trip with a good captain.

I brought my Daughter to deer run for her 21st Birthday. (I myself had never been to a wine tasting.) Kim and Megan were great. Kim explained the wines to us and Megan was our host for lunch. I recommend Deer run winery 100%. We left with 2 bottles from the tasting. Great experience and welcoming atmosphere

Second time ziplining here. Fist was last August on a very foggy misty day. That was fun. This time the weather was ideal. Clear and comfortable. Our guides, Autumn and Christian, were great! Christian did a great job with the brake at the end of the line so we didn't hit so hard. It was 3 of us with the 2 guides which was good for no waiting and we had extra attention. Zipping over the trees is an awesome experience. The ziplines get longer as you go along. They take safety very seriously at this venue. We were always hooked up to something so we felt very safe.

Alan was a great guide. Had area knowledge and was engaging

We had so much fun on our tour of haunted Oswego. The guide was very nice and told wonderful stories as we walked around the historic and beautiful city of Oswego. So much history and th stories are very entertaining. Do yourself a favor and spend a spooky evening being enchanted.

It was Amazing. The people were really nice the wine was delicious. So was the cheese and how they paired perfectly. Thank you for hosting us and being amazing.

Captain Ken of Seagar Marines was a charming and knowledgeable guide for our 2-hour Sunset Cruise. With laughter and insight he safely navigated the lake providing a truly lovely memory. I would recommend bring snacks and or libation should you choose but do so responsibly.

Five stars! This was hands down the best way to experience the Finger Lakes. The luxury vehicle was spotless and comfortable, making the day relaxing and stress-free. Yaumaris was friendly, knowledgeable, and took us to some incredible wineries. Everything was perfectly organized, and the service was outstanding. If you’re looking for a first-class wine tour, this is it. Highly recommend!

Very professional. Very safe. Good instruction. All of the lines were exciting. Audrey and Rachel were exceptional.

Excellent Historical Museum. Great

The tour was excellent. More food stops than usual on a this type of tour, and the food was excellent. Also the portions were larger than normal. Our guide, who was the tour owner, explained a lot of the history of Oswego as well as the current continuing renovations of the city and showed us many of the old buildings including their stories. Well worthwhile and highly recommended1
