The helicopter flight was the highlight, of course, but the wine tasting and the maple syrup stops were good as well. I wasn’t that impressed with the wines but the tour doesn’t include the top wines. According to the people at the wine wasting, for only $5 more, I could’ve had the better wines so I would have preferred to at least have that as an option, either as part of the tour cost or at the door of the tasting. The syrup and fudge stops were gift shops with the fudge and syrup as the main items for sale. The tour guide was quite personable and nice. The only complaint I have is higher cost and shorter duration than comparable tours I’ve taken, e.g., Grand Canyon. On the other hand, the entire area is expensive, especially food, so I would say this is in line with expectations. It is something you’ll talk about for a long time to come. If you have the cash, do it.
