About Us

Experience! The Finger Lakes is owned and operated by Laura and Alan Falk of Ithaca, NY. 

Alan and Laura have lived and experienced the Finger Lakes for over 25 years.  After 20 years working "straight-jobs" - Alan as a software engineer, and Laura, first as a manager in a software company, and then as a nutrition researcher at Cornell University - we began to yearn  for the "next big adventure".

Our epiphany came in 2006 on a 3-week RV trip in Grand Teton, Yellowstone, and Glacier National Parks.  We used a wonderful touring company to help plan our trip, and one morning while studying our custom  itinerary, we looked at each other and said, "We can do this!  We live in a wonderful tourist destination, and while there is so much to do, there is nobody in the area that helps pull it all together for our visitors"!

Six-months later, Experience! The Finger Lakes, LLC was founded.  We consider ourselves concierge to the region - providing our guests maximum enjoyment with minimal effort.

Our overall mission is to have you Experience! the Finger Lakes as we do; being in awe of its natural beauty, its cultural abundance, its recreational opportunities, and its historical significance. Our goal is to have every guest understand why those of us who live here stay here, and those who visit come back again and again. Let us share our experience with you ...Explore...Engage...Experience!
