Canadians Rock! This group raved about Downtown Canandaigua!
Recently we greeted a bus tour from Toronto. They had just come from Sonnenberg Gardens and Mansion and stayed in Downtown for four hours. It was an amazing bunch; passengers had couples and groups of women and men in all ages. The trip was a United Way fundraiser, a great concept to raise money and have fun at the same time!
Some of the things we offer in Canandaigua that wowed them were:
- Ease of Parking for Buses, including restrooms offered by the Canandaigua Chamber and Farmer’s Market Pavilion
- Great on board welcome
- Gifts for the bus driver and tour guides
- Great shops featuring local products; including culinary, foods, arts, apparel, souvenirs and unique gifts
- Hobby havens for knitters, rug hookers, weavers
- Art galleries featuring local Finger Lakes Art
- Restaurants offering a wide variety (including International cuisine and incredible pubs)
- Rich in History
- Attractions such as Sonnenberg Gardens, New York Wine and Culinary Center, Granger Homestead, Ontario County Historical Society and Museum, and much more!
Buses often come from Western New York, including Buffalo Rochester, and Niagara Falls. We also see a lot of bus tours from Pennsylvania, Maryland, Michigan, Ohio, as well as other states surrounding the Finger Lakes region.
