My husband & I were the only two left on the deck as they were waiting for it to dissipate before anyone else came up. More romantic than any movie has produced. - Irene Theriault, Hull Quebec Essential New York Tour by Gray Line (ENC) One of the buses had a broken air conditioner, other than that the tours were great, would recommend to anyone.
