Among the cities in central New York is the small town of Cooperstown, well known as the home of the Baseball Hall of Fame. U.S. Coachways makes the landmark the center of its "Cooperstown and Howe Caverns" tour. Along with visiting the Hall of Fame and an accompanying educational workshop, the tour includes a stop at the underground limestone cave, Howe Caverns, and admission to the Farmer's Museum, as well as a visit to the seasonal Farmer's Market. The company's tour package can also include chaperones, hotel rooms and meals.
This bus company offers city-to-city service in the central New York area, but also offers charter tours upon request. Like some other escorted bus companies, Trailways offers a chartered bus trip to Cooperstown and the Baseball Hall of Fame, though service typically only includes transportation, without the frills of tour guides and meals. In addition to a charter to Cooperstown, the company offers daily service to the charming town of Woodstock, in the heart of the Catskill Mountains.
While many of this company's tours involve day or overnight trips into New York City, this company does offer a few escorted trips in central New York state as well. One such tour is the Rome tour, which takes passengers into the small town for seasonal plays at the Chatham Theater and lunch at Beeches Restaurant. The single-day tour includes meals and escort to and from the play. The holiday time tour is quite popular--the 2010 tour was sold out months in advance.
