We booked a few months in advance and glad we did because it was sold out the week of. You can either be in a two seater or a four seater. Check in and parking were easy once we arrived but beware that there's no cell service in the area. Staff were fantastic and really do impact the customer experience. Sam and others were spirited and seemed to genuinely enjoy their jobs. This trail was 8 miles, 4 miles out and 4 miles back. Most of the time you're detached from other bikes but when crossing a major road, everyone had to be attached. If everyone is pedaling, it should be physically doable to go at a good pace, but it was not a stroll in the park either, which I liked. The person on the right controls the brakes. On the ride, you'll see a body of water, trees, hyped Phoenicia diner and just enjoy being in nature. There is shade throughout so even if it's a warm day, you'll probably still be okay. And didn't have any issues with mosquitoes either. They do provide large umbrellas for the weather and a basket to hold your belongings on the bike. When you reach 4 miles, there's a little break and patio chairs to sit, while they turn the bikes around. If you're in the front at the start, you'll be in the back to end. From start to finish, it was about 2 hours with waiting and stopping. They have bathrooms in a small camper facility that's pretty cramped and also a bathroom in the nearby railroad museum. Stop by the Ashokan Reservoir or explore neighboring towns if you have time.

This is a unique experience. Be warned, there is 0 cell service. They have WiFi at the station but…read moreafter that it's nothing. The route is scenic, especially if the weather is nice. The staff are awesome. Getting coordinated and all is very easy. All you do is follow a few simple rules and pedal. The little museum on site has actual private bathrooms in case you don't want to use the fancy porta potty there. Not a bad idea to bring water and a snack for the little break. Your tail end will likely hurt a bit from this. Bring a cushion or something if you have one. It's great for all ages. The power assisted pedaling is very easy

What an interesting experience! There was so much more to see and explore than I ever anticipated…read more The gentleman working was fantastic, incredibly knowledgeable, and made the experience even better. I would absolutely visit again! A little FYI: Plan for about an hour to get through everything. The experience is partially guided by staff, so you can't explore entirely at your own pace. I hadn't seen this mentioned on the website, but thankfully we had enough time set aside. Definitely worth the visit!

Coming from afar? Call ahead! I visited and they unexpectedly opened up a bit later than posted…read morehours but I think alien activity in the vicinity has spiked in recent weeks so the staff may have been abducted in the morning hours and returned to their homes late in effect making them late for work. Staff abduction aside, the staff were absolutely AMAZING! No humans are that nice so their morning alien abductors may have performed some type of lobotomization making them super nice as representatives of the alien coalition. The place is small but if you truly take in all that it has to offer you can spend about a solid hour in here looking at the different displays they offer. I won't say exactly what they have as to leave some mystery to your visit but it's certainly an interesting museum for sure. I love the paranormal stuff so "aliens" aren't completely off the table for me in terms of curiosity. I wish I had known this place existed because I would have visited a long time ago. The museum is I'd say 75% alien themed and 25% paranormal. It's certainly geared more toward the UFO theme but still interesting nonetheless. In my opinion if you are making your way north for a getaway and can make it here in 30 mins or less, off your main planned route, I encourage a visit cause it's worth it if you want to add an extra activity to your travel itinerary. If this location brings you more than 30 mins from your route, unless you are seriously into aliens and UFOs I wouldn't go out of my way to visit. With that said, it really was a cool experience and the staff made it worth the price of admission with their kindness and knowledge.

The first thing you notice is the really large stuffed bear on display. They also have some crafts and quilts on display. There is also a person who works there that will help you and answer any questions that you may have, plus a lot of pamphlets and cards that gives you information about all activities available in the area. I really liked the pamphlets that details the types of fish that can be found in Lake Wallenpaupack. We stopped here just to take a quick look around at the beach and use their facilities. We rented a pontoon boat for the day and the information that we got here gave us other options for things that we can do later in the summer. This place was informative.

Only one spot per unit and an overflow lot several buildings down. On an off-season, letting us have an unassigned room's spot would have been nice. The interiors are comfortable. The suite had a bedroom upstairs, but there wasn't a door, so being able to hear the coffee pot or TV downstairs was an unexpected design choice. Luckily those staying downstairs could hear every step from upstairs. The site has minigolf for an okay price, discounts on on-site restaurants, and a big pool and hot tub. The people at the front desk seemed to have some to little knowledge on local things to do. They give out booklets for things to do to read on your own. It was an okay stay. Location was good to get to things around the Poconos.

I'm currently staying at the Presidential in Crestwood at club Wyndham Shawnee PA…read more It's beautiful and clean and so spacious like said by many! It's only getting 3 stars from me though as a heads up to the next vacationers who are booked in the future. 1.) the double bedroom to the left when you walk in has 2 problems... The bathtub has AWFUL WATER PRESSURE! IT TOOK 30 MINUTES TO FILL FOR BATH! Then on to of that the bathroom door won't close all the way. It's stuck open and you cannot lock it! Let alone shut it properly. 2.) it take even longer to drain! I had to put my daughter in the King size bathroom in the jacuzzi and bend to wash her hair. If you have kids with you you know it's not an easy thing when they want to play instead of getting rinsed! For all the points it takes to stay here and being the Presidential you would think it would be perfect?? Just be aware when your come to plan for this. I ended up giving it 2 stars instead because i forgot about the non shutting bathroom door.

I can't wait for my next trip to take another walking tour with this tour company. Onel is knowledgeable, personable, engaging, humorous, thoughtful and kept us on time! He knew exactly where to stop for photo ops and gave us plenty of time for them - I appreciated the scheduled bathroom break at clean bathrooms and the stop for drinks/snacks at the most perfect grocery store that I wish was in my neighborhood. The tour ended at lunchtime in the perfect location with several food options as well as close to both the ferry and trains for the return commute to Manhattan. I highly recommend this walking tour with Onel as your guide - you won't regret it!

Kensington Tours was amazing! Just two weeks before my sister's trip to Rwanda and Tanzania, I…read morefound out I had some time off. Kensington Tours stepped in and managed to find flights and hotels for me with less than 12 days notice. They answered all my questions about the visa I would need, which airport I should fly into, and every little thing in between. They coordinated everything seamlessly - from the airport pickup to my hotel, and then from the hotel to the domestic airport the next morning. They even planned the flight so that when I landed, my sister and our amazing guide were waiting for me right on the tarmac. And can we talk about the hotels? Kensington Tours really knows how to pick them. I felt so pampered and well taken care of at every stop. If you're looking for a luxury tour that lets you experience incredible wildlife and stunning landscapes while having every detail handled, this is the company to book with. They truly take care of everything! Plus, as a solo female traveler in a foreign country, I felt completely safe the entire time. The guides were great, the food was great, the hotels were great (5 star hotels), and Tanzania was great!

We had reservations for this tour and made sure that we took their "sunset tour". Price was fair, they have a big parking lot around their office. We were fortunate enough to have Captain Mike as our tour guide. He was very informative and knowledgeable about the history of this lake, where I found out that this humongous lake is man-made. Taking this tour after a very busy, adventurous and celebratory day was well worth it. If you happen to be in the area, I recommend that you try it.

A beautiful sight to behold. If only we have time, there is a walking trail along. The tour was enjoyable, our guide was amazing.

The actual Visitor Center itself seemed to be closed…read more(Fathers Day), but there were staff on-hand to answer questions and hand out maps/information. The entire path to Dingmans falls is almost level with a bench or 2 to rest/take in the surroundings. You also get to see Silverthread Falls a few hundred yards into the trek (there were a lot more downed trees obscuring Silverthread than my previous visit 10 or so years ago) ...at the end of the trail you arrive at the base of Dingmans Falls -- a great cascading noisy delight! Great photo ops, although you may have to joust with other onlookers for a position to snap a pic ;) This time, I opted to take the 'hi-rise' side trail that juts left and up right before you get to the base of the falls...unlike the main 'boardwalk', the side trail has a fair amount of steps - up, down, and up again - placing you above the top of the falls. Perhaps not as photogenic as from the bottom, but it's pretty neat to see the water run over the cliff and see the perspective. If you have small kids or tired knees, you could skip the side trail...but if curiosity gets the better of you, like it did me, it was a fun jaunt. Do I recommend a trip to Dingmans Falls? Absolutely!
