Honestly the 2 days Niagara tour was flawless. Jason, our tour guide was fantastic. Very understanding, polite, cooperative. Very easy to travel with them. They gave enough breaks and rest time and also cover most important places. Regarding charges, all extra and excluded charges are very clearly mentioned on the website before booking phase.

This is a well-organized tour. We had great experience visiting all the attractions and watching fireworks. The Maid of Mist and Cave of Wind tours were impressive and a lot fun. Our tour guide Leo has been very helpful, he guided us through all the attractions and give clear instructions, so the entire trip went smoothly and we really enjoyed the trip.

I didn’t had a good experience in this tour. The title of tour is misleading. Due to which me have missed our tour to cave of the winds. Title clearly mentions that Niagara Falls tour with Cave of the winds, that’s why we have not opted for Scenic in depth tour. Later at the time of leaving when we asked for Cave of the Winds at that time guide told me that it was part of Scenic in depth tour. We feels like cheated. Also ever after service charges mandatory 24 USD guid asked everyone to tip driver.

We took a two days Niagara trip from Boston recently.It was a well organized trip with proper itinerary. Though the travl time was too long, around eight hours we didn't feel the tiredness as they gave break every two and half hours to refresh ourselves and take food. But you have plan your food if you are not prepared for westernised food.The associates Roy and Mac were very friendly..Though Chinese their English was understandable.. Overall It was a fantastic experience..
