There are many tours that take you to places but I found a very 'humane' element in Portage tours. Susan and Jeff are really nice and courteous hosts. I was all set to take an Uber to get to the start location but Susan told me that they'd pick me up from my home! It's very rare to see that level of courtesy in today's times where everything is about profits. They even dropped me home after the tour. Loved them. Susan is very knowledgeable about wines. Gave us a good lesson on what wine constitutes of and how we need to swirl, smell, move the wine in the mouth and think. It was funny when we tried doing all of that and forgot a step or two and just guzzled it down without any thinking:) The bus is well equipped. Jeff is a safe driver. I also got a discount because the tour that I booked in Sept didn't happen bec of the weather. I forgot to apply the discount code but Susan remembered and gave me some cash back. Very professional and helpful. We visited 3 vineyards and had lunch at a nice restaurant. It wasn't hurried. The pace was great. None of us were too tipsy with wine. The climate was fabulous! Highly recommend this group! They know their business but they are also very people friendly. Great combination!! :)

Went on the "Tour De Beer" with some friends over the weekend. The Portage Tours crew did an amazing job with this tour! The first stop was the Genesee Brew House where our group tried some of their delicious brews and got a great tour of their pilot batch system. So cool! We next went to Fifth Frame, one of the cities newest breweries where we tried some of the best local beer I have ever had. After that we went to Lost Borough and Three Heads and enjoyed flights at each. At Three Heads, a knowledgable brewery employee gave us a tour of the brewery and told us about the history of Three Heads! The crew at Portage Tours did an incredible job putting together this tour! The bus was super comfortable and there were complimentary snacks and water bottles for guests. There was even a specially designed compartment on the bus where I could store a growler I picked up at one of the breweries! They though of EVERYTHING! The tour guide, Jeff was extremely personable and very knowledgeable about both craft beer in Rochester and Rochester culture and history, which was carefully woven into the tour. I can't say enough about how great this was. Great people, great breweries. An absolutely amazing time I will never forget! Cheers!

Hit wineries, a distillery and a brewery which was nice. Driver (Darryl) was a very nice guy even if he forgot my name and started calling me 'Steve' halfway through. That was pretty funny for the guys even if it was at my expense. Bus had plenty of room too, and we stayed on schedule without it being overbearing or annoying. Price point was fair given this was a 1/2 day tour with food/alcohol included. Brewery and distillery options couldn't have been better. Wagner brewing makes one of the best examples of hefeweizens I've had anywhere. Really great tap room overlooking the lake as well. Got a cheese plate there which was packed like shit in to-go containers, which belied the really good array of cheese, meat and accoutrements it included. Finger Lakes distilling was shockingly good. Their repertoire of whiskeys, including aged options, different styles (ie: pot stilled, applejack) and experiment stuff (cannoli whiskey) was superb. Had whiskey infused cigars here too which were awesome. I bought a shit ton of stuff from their. Surprisingly, I wasn't as thrilled with the wineries. Zugibe was respectable but paled to others nearby like Thirsty Owl; what threw me off was that the reds were much better than the whites there. Food there was gyros, which was odd but oddly good at least. Belhurst was probably the worst single winery I've ever been to, with the worst wine I've tried. Wine had a soapy taste and was cloyingly sweet. Bartender was snotty, rattled off some canned crap she memorized that was largely irrelevant, and didn't really know anything about wine. Place was largely a freaking gift shop, so no clue why they thought this was a good addition. Would use these guys again as Darryl was a sweetheart, and maybe just direct them a bit more in terms of what we're looking for. I am 100% fine with the emphasis being on beer/liquor, however the groom-to-be was more of a wine person in this case. Very workable either way.

I have to give credit - sort of - to a nearby Hampton Inn, for giving me the opportunity to enjoy a…read morestay at The Inn On Broadway. I had originally considered the Hampton, and 15 days before my arrival in Rochester, I discovered The Inn. It had a comparable price but maybe not as much breakfast choices. Two days later, when I went to make my reservation at the Hampton, I discovered that they raised their room rates 15% since the last time I checked... supply and demand on their part I guess. Well, that made The Inn rate more than competitive, and the obvious choice for my stay. The Inn does offer a light continental breakfast, but they offer some things I wouldn't have gotten elsewhere. One was the charm of an older building with nice renovations. My room had more "character" than I would have had otherwise, and that included a large antique bathtub and a gas fireplace. Every person with whom I interacted was incredibly friendly and helpful. Vanni's Lounge downstairs was fun as well (separate review). And I got a slight discount for having a 3rd night in my reservation on a weeknight. I think that was a fair trade-off for missing out on a few Honors points.

Recently enjoyed a delightful stay at The Inn on Broadway…read more Truly, what a gem of an inn. I was traveling for work and was meant to fly from White Plains to Rochester mid week. However, the stormy weather had my flight delayed, delayed, delayed. Seeing that I'd be pulling into Rochester later and later, I decided to see about driving. This got me to Rochester earlier in the evening but I was pooped. The Inn on Broadway offered a warm welcome after a hectic day of travel. They have easy parking very close to the entrance (felt very safe). They offer valet if you're heading there for the restaurants but they don't valet for guests of the inn. Again, not a big deal because the parking is so convenient. The lobby is gorgeous. I was there during the holidays and it was tastefully decorated and brought the festive vibes. The woman at the front desk was excessively kind and got me all checked in. I was tired and really just wanted to order deliver (doordash etc) to my hotel room. I wasn't certain if this was ok with the restaurant in house but fortunately, she assured me it was fine and even hand delivered my door dash order to my room (in addition to giving me recommendations for a garbage plate, a Rochester specialty--I still haven't had one but my next visit I'm determined!) My room was completely comfortable. It was the perfect size to feel cozy without being too small. There was a window seat by the window which offered a nice view of the city. I love that they have Aveda shampoo, conditioner, and body wash in the shower (as well as lotion and hand soap by the sink). Aveda is top notch and it's nice not to sacrifice quality hair care while traveling. I honestly have nothing but the best things to say about my stay here and wouldn't hesitate to stay again. Get to it!

My family and I are from out of town and wanted to visit Niagara Falls so we called Enzo on short…read morenotice, after reading such GREAT reviews on Yelp and Google, and asked about availability for a day trip to Niagara Falls the next day and thankfully he had a spacious Black Suburban available so we booked it right away! He made the booking process incredibly easy and was fully transparent about pricing and policy (was not surprised with any hidden charges even at the end of the trip). He picked us up right on time at our hotel and offered us bottled waters and some restaurant recommendations around Niagara Falls, which was so considerate! We are out of town so we did not really know the area very well so his recommendations made it SO much easier for us to enjoy our trip without any added hassle. He also graciously made any stops we requested despite it not being on our official itinerary. We were so highly impressed with Enzo's professionalism and character that we asked if he was available the next day but unfortunately he was fully booked (AND FOR GOOD REASON!). My family and I all agreed that this day spent with Enzo in Niagara Falls was the highlight of our trip. Definitely the best limousine and transportation service I have ever used and would highly recommend to anyone! I live in NYC but will definitely be making a trip back out here for a wine trip per Enzo's recommendation and will ONLY be booking Imperial Limousine & Transportation!

Great service! Enzo was very easy to work with and Don was great. The vehicle was perfect for what…read morewe needed. Will definitely use on our next trip to Seneca Lake.
