Itinerary
You will travel on a comfortable motor coach, with your bilingual tour guide, enjoying the scenic landscape of upstate New York (travel time is approximately 7-8 hours, each way, with one rest stop) on your journey north. 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). You will have the opportunity of having lunch on your own, souvenir shopping, and exploring the beautiful Niagara Falls State Park.
If you have selected the tour that includes this option, you will board the historic the Maid of the Mist boat to go on a ride through the waters of Niaga Falls. For sure, an experience you cannot miss!
Once the boat ride is over, your guide will head to the Observation Tower, as it is the unique way of exiting, from which you will be able to admire beautiful view of the falls.
This is the nearest lookout from which the American Falls can be seen, from which you will have the opportunity to be amazed by the beauty of the landscape as well as to take some pictures.
Then you will visit this small island, which is located in between The American and Bridal Falls.
It is the smallest of the three waterfalls that make up Niagara Falls and can be perfectly seen from Luna Island.
This island is considered the natural border between Canada and the United States, and here we can find a terrasse built to comfortably see Horseshoe Fall.
From here you can clearly see the Horseshoe Falls from the USA side of Niagara Falls
Horseshoe Falls is considered the most impressive of the three falls, and the Terrapin Point offers astonishing views of them.

5Trip to Niagara
It’s a long trip almost 7 hours but our tourist guide, Diego was so friendly and knowledgeable. It’s not a boring trip but worth it.

4Niagara Fall Tour Review
The Niagara Falls tour itself was unforgettable! It is definitely a long trip, but I completely agree with everyone that it is worth it. Our tour guide was funny, friendly, and genuinely did his best to make the experience enjoyable. The drivers were also patient, and accommodating. I especially appreciated that we had a good number of stops along the way. I have always needed more frequent restroom breaks, and this tour worked perfectly for me. We never felt rushed at any point, which made the journey much more comfortable and relaxing. My only concern was the bus itself. It felt older, the seats were uncomfortable for me, and the temperature was difficult to regulate—the AC would sometimes make it too cold and at other times it felt too warm. I had to ask the tour guide and drivers for adjustments several times, but they were always incredibly patient and accommodating, which I truly appreciated. If the bus were upgraded to a newer, more comfortable and luxurious one, I would absolutely take this same tour again. The tour, guide, drivers, stops, and overall Niagara experience were wonderful and well worth the long journey!
