Interesting history lesson in the shadows of the Manhattan skyscrapers…read more Excellent presentation by the docent. Both park employees were quite knowledgeable about various topics.

Soooo if you happen to live in Northern NJ and happen to have family visiting, and that family…read morehappens to be huuuuge history buffs -- then y'all should probably visit the Dey Mansion, aka George Washington's Headquarters way back in the late 1700's. Full disclosure: it was my mother who looked up the Dey Mansion and requested to go there on a recent-ish visit. It wouldn't have been my first choice of things to do on a sunny Saturday but she's the guest and a total history nerd and it was something to check out. I can't say I didn't enjoy it at least a little bit... while my mom is a history nerd, I'm a design nerd and the house itself, built by the Dey Family, is beauuuuuufitul. The brick, the wide plank wood floors inside, the gorgeous [paint] colors used throughout were just striking on every level. Then the layout and design and function of the house back in the 1700's is so different then how we live in our homes now -- so interesting. The gardens surrounding the property are also so lovely. Here's my one issue with the historical site and tour -- when we inquired we were told it was 'less than an hour for sure' depending on how many people/questions. While the tour guide was nice enough, he was verrrrrrry long winded. There were 6 of us.. and that tour was most definitely longer than an hour. Not sure if that's the case every time but just something to be prepared for should you decide to visit. Cost for the tours was supposed to be $5 but during out visit they had just begun some restorations and certain spaces were closed off... so they didn't insist on guest paying. They still accepted donations though. Parking is also free, fyi. And the mansion is easy to get to from routes 23, 46 and 80.

Maps are located at various intersections to help you along the way (makes up for them not having physical maps available). Dogs are welcomed on leash (be careful, security walks around and will ticket you if they are off leash). There are several points of interest including the soldiers huts, a view point, and various streams. These park trails allow for a wide range of activities like running, hiking, and we've even brought our own snow shoes to enjoy the trails in the winter. Hours vary based on the season (usually 8-8pm) so be sure to check as the town comes around to open/close the gates accordingly.

There, I watched the 15 minute film and arranged for a volunteer to take me inside the Wick House. The film described what life was like for the common soldier who wintered at Jockey Hollow during the harshest winter of the War, from December 1779 to June 1780. Huddled in log cabins with rags for clothing and little food, the army hunkered down to wait for Spring. After watching the film and touring the Wick House, I decided to walk the 2.5 mile park loop road. There are 27 miles of hiking trails in the park, but these were all covered with snow and ice on the day of my visit. There were plenty of pedestrians, dog-walkers and cyclists sharing the road with me.

TEP deserves more than 5 stars for the amazing start to finish service we experienced on our 7 day…read moreadventure to Peru to hike the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu. From the time we signed up, to the time we boarded the plane to return home, TEP took care of every detail. We commented amongst ourselves that we felt like kids on vacation with our parents, as we didn't have to worry about any of the details - just show up and follow Neptali (our guide). From airport pickup in Cusco in luxury Mercedes vans where we were promptly served Coca tea to help with the altitude acclimation, to group dinners at amazing Peruvian restaurants, to historical tours and education on the history of the Inca - everything was covered and taken care of for us. And that was all before the amazing trek along the Inca Trail to Machu Picchu! Of course the trek itself was the highlight of the trip, and although it was extremely challenging for us, TEP's unbelievable attention to detail did not fail us on the trail. With nearly a 2:1 porter to trekker ration, our every need was met on the trail. We dined like kings every meal, and were consistently amazed with the quality (and nutritional appropriateness) of the food our chef and sous chef were able to put out with minimal kitchen conveniences. The thing I felt was most special about TEP's approach to this trip was the focus on gaining a cultural and historical appreciation for what we were experiencing. Every step along the way, we learned about the native people of Peru, the Inca civilization, the many ruins we came across, the vegetation we saw and how it was and is used, and the history of modern Peru. It was the trip of a lifetime, and have the help of The Explorer's Passage made it so much more enjoyable, and so much more memorable. The value of what they provide is amazing for the cost....rather, for the investment. I highly recommend them!

I can't say enough great things about this company. This was the first coach tour I have ever…read morebooked, and I had to call the reservation line several times with questions, and the representatives were always very helpful and friendly. (My one complaint is that I did call a couple times and was on hold for nearly 20 minutes before I finally hung up. Both times. That's unacceptable to me.) We took the "Leisurely Ireland" tour in August 2013 and it went beyond all my expectations. The food and accommodations were outstanding (in fact, I'd say luxurious), as well as our guide (Dermot) and driver (Sean). Sure, you can't always spend as much time somewhere as you may like to, but there are so many advantages to taking a coach tour. They just tell you when to show up, and they do the rest! You do have to get up fairly early, but unless the bus is moving locations that day, you're not obligated to participate in anything. You can stay back at the hotel for a free day. Everything is included (they do not push ANY optionals on you), except remember to save Euro to tip your driver and guide at the end. I traveled with a friend and we were pleased to see that not everyone was traveling in couples (some were families), and we ranged in age from 30-80 (average age maybe 40). We made friends for life on this tour! We had every evening free to do as we pleased, and we hung out with a lot of our tour friends. I would recommend CIE without hesitation for any trip in Ireland. In fact, I'm looking into them for an Eastern European trip next year. Stay tuned!
