I was planning to go to Niagara Falls alone, but realized there was a lot to consider, so I decided to book a tour. I'm so glad I did, and I highly recommend it! It was much more relaxing to focus solely on sightseeing without worrying about transportation or the itinerary. I also highly recommend taking the cruise. You get so close it feels like you're going right through the waterfall, and even with a raincoat on, the spray comes down like a downpour. It was incredibly refreshing and invigorating, perfect for experiencing when the weather is warm like it is now. The falls themselves were magnificent, but there was also a street nearby with a small theme park-like atmosphere, which was fun to explore. I was also very grateful for the guide and driver, who greeted us kindly every time we saw them.😊
