Wow. It has taken me 2 weeks to try to think of how to review this service. If there was a…read morenegative star rating, I would have chosen it. Here it goes: 1) The car is neither luxurious nor comfortable. The body is rusted. The interior is dirty. The console in front of the seat is broken and stuffed with a dirty pillow. The handles on all of the doors on the inside are broken. The doors can't be opened from the inside (which is super-creepy with a driver like Orlando). The car beeps for 3 minutes every 20 minutes or so, but Orlando assures you that there is no problem. I am not sure that the seatbelts in the back work (it's ok with Orlando because it's "legal"). The car shudders when it goes over 50 MPH. The 4th, 5th, and 6th people of your party have to climb over a seat into a raised seat with barely enough room for three (we are small people--all less than 160 lbs). 2) Orlando is offensive. Within 5 minutes of starting our trip, Orlando had succeeded in offending everyone in our party--Canadians, Drivers of Subarus, Democrats, Physicians. Orlando never stops talking, and it is not about the area and local attractions or what to look for. He lectured the car about how doctors are criminals who prescribe medications that people don't need--such as insulin for diabetes. "All you need to do is take large doses of cinnamon." You can cure cancer by,"mixing Flax oil in cottage cheese. Its a well known fact. It's on the google." 3) You will feel like Orlando's prisoner. We were a group that likes conversation. We usually have to keep two members of our party from chatting too much. Orlando talked non-stop the entire trip. We were taking turns sitting in the front seat next to him to share the burden. We ended our trip one hour (and one winery) early just to be able to get out of his car. Some of the topics that Orlando pontificated on: his past employment for the government--"I can't tell you what I did. They asked me to fake my death, but I wouldn't do it; so I had to quit." He also told us about the buried UFOs as big as a football field in the desert. He also commented on how there are, "so many democrats that you could bury them." I am not sure what that was in reference to. 4) Despite the number of times that Orlando will tell you about his 28 years of experience, he is not all that knowledgeable. I had been planning this trip to the Finger Lakes for many months as a birthday celebration for my wife. I had carefully selected wineries that I wanted to visit. Right after getting into the car, he argued with me about my choices and asked me if, "you know anything about this area?" and then told me that it would be impossible to include Ravines in our itinerary as the Winery is in Geneva. I told him that there was a tasting room on Keuka lake, and he said, "I don't know anything about that." I had to tell him that I was confident in my itinerary and essentially argue with him to accept it. I don't think that visiting three wineries and having lunch between 1030 AM and 6 PM is too much to ask. In the end we were dropped off at 5 PM. In summary if you are looking for a knowledgeable, friendly driver in a safe comfortable vehicle for a relaxing day touring the amazing Finger Lakes wineries, DO NOT BOOK WITH Orlando. However, if you are seeking a nightmare version of Carpool Karaoke, but instead of James Corden driving you around in a nice car with pleasant conversation, you want an ignorant, rude, offensive, conspiracy theorist driver with verbal diarrhea and a dirty unsafe and uncomfortable ride, then Orlando and Finger Lakes Transport and Tours is for you.

My family and I have traveled with Swarthout for a number of years, especially including the last…read morecouple of years when my mother and I have gone down to NYC to celebrate various events. The fact that there's a NYC trip pretty consistently available is definitely a highlight of traveling with Swarthout. I think they're raising the cost of the NYC trip (from $62 per person to $64 per person), but it's very minimal - and the ticket is still very much worth the cost. Generally, the experience is very organized. The driver I think we've had for every (or almost) trip down to NYC, Chuck, is fantastic and knows exactly how to maneuver the bus through heavy NYC traffic. Drop off and pick up is also well organized. While I haven't experienced any of the other tours that Swarthout offers in quite some time, I am hoping they continue to plan for at least one Yankee game trip during the 2016 trip schedule. I won't hesitate to buy tickets for that trip if/when they offer it next. While Swarthout is pretty organized about their communications, I have noticed that people who are new to traveling with Swarthout can be confused about the bus seat numbers - even though most are clearly marked. The last trip I was on, a family got on board the bus at the first pick-up spot and looked for their seat numbers before the husband gave up and told his wife and kid to just sit down in a couple seats. They were the wrong seats, unfortunately, and when people got on the bus later in the pick-up schedule, they couldn't find their seat numbers because this family had already sit in them - also covering the seats numbers that are usually on the window space. Perhaps this is something that has been addressed recently (my last trip was in May 2015), but, if not, this is something I would advise Swarthout look into - enhancing visibility of the seat numbers (or, alternatively, get rid of them entirely). TL;DR Love these tours. Will be joining Swarthout again 2016. Seating seems to be somewhat confusing for some, though the trips are otherwise very organized - and fairly intuitive in terms of joining them, etc.

I also went to a rodeo there recently and had such a great time ! It was exciting watching the riders on the bulls and the barrel races were amazing. Those riders have some serious riding skills ! Food and beverages were an added pleasure. I'D advise everyone to check out their site and see what's going on at the Stables and see if there's an event or evening or morning trail ride you might enjoy trying!
