Considerate that u walking a marathon, it was too fast for me, u didn't have enough time to really enjoy it. And they left u by urself b4 dinner. And u need to figure out how u can see the night lights. The drivers needs to considerate a little more the way they push the brakes on the bus I didn't like it.

Dear Patty_A Yes we do have a walking tour at Niagara Falls since that is the only way that you can truly experience the falls. The "figuring out how to see the night light"- if you paid attention to your tour guides you just need to cross 1 street and you will be in front of the falls. We are sorry that this was unpleasant experience for you and we will take in consideration your input thank you

Watching the falls from the bottom and from the top! Amazing!! It was pretty chilly there with wind and temp, so make sure you take jackets! Our guide was Joel, was very helpful with facts. We loved the Maid of the Mist trip.

The Falls were magnificent but the bus trip was terrible. The drivers struggled with the bus and keeping the temperature at a humane level. It was sooooo hot. It took for one of my friends to question what they were doing for them to realise how to put the air conditioning on. On the way back to New York the windscreen fogged up so much due to the heat that the driver had to pull over due to no vision. We did not feel safe at all with the drivers. The bus had strange noises and it was very uncomfortable. Not if a standard that I would have expected.
