It was cold and snowed but few other tourists. The falls were fantastic all the Christmas lights are up magical!
Fantastic tour! I am glad that we did the bus tour, and not by air, as the scenery up and on the way back were amazing! The falls themselves were undeniably breathtaking, and the tour guide and bus driver took us to many different vantage points. The hotel was better than expected, and even had free wifi. Breakfast was included of yummy Canadain pancakes! Tour and bus guide really went above and beyond, they were fantastic!
Our experience has been less than satisfactory essentially because we found the proceedings lack professionalism. To give you two examples, we were to be picked up from Grand Central Station at 7:00AM; instead the bus arrived at around 7:20AM and after checking of all documents etc. we finally hit the road only at 8:00AM. As a result we reached Niagara only after 6:00PM and the laight had started to fade and we hads hardly anything to see on Day 1. Next day, we were supposed to be picked up between 8:30AM and 8:40AM from our hotel (we had stayed back in the American side) and were pre-warned that there can be some delay due to traffic on the border/bridge. The bus actually came at 10:15AM!! The planning looks pretty poor and we came back with a feeling that we did not get our full money's worth!!
