Upon arrival at your destination, you will begin experiencing the adventure, beauty, and natural wonder of Niagara Falls. During your visit, you will learn about the interesting history of these mighty waters and enjoy spectacular views of the falls from different vantage points (depending on the weather conditions).

I took this trip with a couple of school friends I hadn’t seen in over a decade. It was their first visit to the U.S., and Niagara Falls was on their bucket list. Sadly, this tour turned into a nightmare. Even though we initially sat together, I was forced to move and sit next to a complete stranger—an absolutely awful human being. This person constantly invaded my space, practically spilling over into my seat to accommodate his oversized self, making the already long journey utterly unbearable. The management and our Tour guide Artudo couldn’t care less. They easily could have seated all three of us together but chose to ignore the issue entirely. While the falls were beautiful, the 16-hour round trip was a miserable experience. The lack of organization, complete indifference from the staff, and the sheer discomfort of sitting next to such an inconsiderate stranger ruined what should have been a memorable trip. Avoid this tour at all costs.

We had the option to see both sides of Niagara falls. We walked through the trail and went on the observation deck. Magnificent! Roberto, our guide, was really helpful, patient and made sure we had our safety during the whole trip.

The falls were undeniably impressive, though I would rank them below both Iguazu and Victoria Falls. The downside of the excursion was the six-hour bus ride to the falls and another six hours back to New York City. While the guide and driver did their best to make the journey enjoyable, spending 12 hours on a bus during a 20-hour trip significantly diminished the overall experience.
