As the title says the old review is dead accurate. I did the math before we left our hotel, the drive is roughly 7+ hours each way. We assumed it would be a tour bus, because normal people assume it would be a bus for such a long trip. When the driver arrived, the 2 of us and the other 9 people attending raised the issue of the van not being a bus. The driver made a point to say we be unable to obtain a refund, and explained that the booking states a smaller group gets a smaller vehicle. Upon reviewing the booking on viator, it does say, after going through multiple sub menus and fine print paragraphs that "vehicle is dependant upon group size." That's it, all it says. We asked the driver how many people fit in the van. 14. How many people do we have? 11. How many to get a bus? 12. Convenient that. Also, when bringing up the covid safety issues of having 12 people jammed together WITHOUT EVEN CHECKING FOR VACCINATION STATUS OF THE PASSENGERS, he replied that covid meant fewer bookings, so it wasn't cost effective for them to give more space. Given it cost $400+ for us already, rather than waste the money we masked up, sanitized and rode on. The driver was as described, fast, hit lots of bumps, and was actually late picking us up for the return. He wore a mask, but not when he was eating. Which would be ok, but he was eating sunflower seeds. For hours and hours and hours. So he basically didn't wear a mask. The guide at the falls was nice, didn't blow my mind but he did a good job explaining, directing, etc. We cut off from the tour shortly after the boat ride, the rest of the tour was a couple miles of walking to see the falls from various angles. We're lucky we did split off, as everything on the u.s. side of the falls is kind of sad and closes really early. The sponsored shops were closed while we We're there,, and by 6pm, the shops and restaurants nearby were all pretty much done, except Hard Rock. I'll make a separate review for the saddest hard rock ever. The ride back was essentially the same cramped painful ride as the outgoing trip. To sum it all up, you could just rent a car for less money, and have a much better trip. Even a greyhound would be more cost effective and pleasant a ride. I DO NOT recommend this trip (and I don't think they really have a bus).

Dear fred h We list all the important information about the tour very accurate and precise. There is no sub menus and fine print paragraphs. We feel sorry that you did not take the time to read the description of the tour. Per CDC guidelines we are not required or ever stated that we will check vaccination status of the travelers. That is why we travel in small groups. We believe that traveling with 10 other passenger brings less risk than travelling with 54. Regarding the ride and the bumps on the road- we would love to have smooth and brand new roads but that is out of our reach and we use state roads which are sometimes bad sometimes good and most of the time average. The drivers are strictly monitored by GPS device and they NEVER drive faster than the speed limit. And as last we would love to invite you in better times when this pandemic is behind us to experience some others highly rated tours and the great fleet of vehicles we have.

Our Maid of the Mist Boat Ride. Our tour guide Bryan was very professional, knowledgeable and made sure his group was having a good time. He took his time to answer all my questions. He made our trip from California worth traveling this far to see such a beautiful site.

Our group tour guide was very informative. Millie made sure we had all the details to make sure our experience would be a memorable one When we arrived at Niagara Falls we broke into groups We had tour guide Brian who was outstanding. He definitely went out of his way taking pictures for us, taking the time answering all of our questions and just an outstanding person. If your fortunate to have Brian as your tour guide you will not be disappointed You will do lots of walking on the tour, but after you finish your tour you will realize it was all worth it Brian made our Niagara Falls tour a very memorable one for sure. Thank You!
