Easy to find the bus at the meeting point, even though no one wears blue and yellow shirt. Yurika san is an experienced bilingual tour guide who speaks Japanese and Madarin. She was able to provide details for everything, from history of attraction sites to locations of souvenir shops and clean toilets. Noon: 30-min-walk at the Watkins Glen State Park. Beautiful scene 4pm: Arrived at the Niagara Falls, US side. We spent around 40 mins here taking pictures. Then got on the bus and crossed the border 5:30pm: arr. at Canada. 30mins only for photo-taking. Then got sent to the hotel: Comfort Hotel Niagara Falls. Had dinner at a nearby restaurant. Took Uber to see the firework at 10pm by the falls. Next day 8am: return to US side 9am: Maid in the mist. Bring sandals and roll up your pant legs over knees to stay dry. The poncho can cover everything except your face and lower legs. Noon: outlet 7:30pm: arrived at NYC Tips: USD 10 per person per day, as suggested by the tour guide

The trip fulfilled our expectations of Niagara Falls. I definitely recommend the cruise as we got really close to the falls. However, please be prepared to get really wet. It might be prudent to strap your phone to your hand in case it slips into the waters. The stopover at the Maple Syrup factory was nice and it was also lovely to see the quaint town of Niagara-by-the-lake. Coach was clean and comfortable.

The meeting point is near Union station and coffee shops, and it is very easy to find. The tour guide explained clearly, the boarding and alighting locations are convenient and easy to recognize, there are boat rides, village tours, and the return time is also clearly estimated. It is worth recommending

Nice tour. Fantastic view to Niagara falls and other ity. Food is not included and hotel is subjected to changes. Breakfast from the hotel is slightly disappointing but overall is good.

It was a long journey to Niagara falls but well worth it. The maid of the mist boat ride, the beauty of mother nsture nature, the furious cascades of water down the rocks together with the refreshing mists spraying on my face somehow evokes a sense of peace in me. Truly an amazing experience for me.

Tour guides are friendly, fun & professionals. We felt safe with our drivers. Our experience at Niagara Falls was great! Don’t forget to include the Maid of the Mist. Be prepared to get wet!

The bus was dirty. It has food residues. Niagra falls was awesome. The guide I felt was racist. We didn’t like his behaviour at all. But it’s a must visit.
