  • 5Excellent Day at Niagara Falls

    My wife and I joined approximately 10 others on a tour of Niagara Falls today from Buffalo. Pick up was timely and efficient. We had an excellent experience with Johnny our tour manager. The stops were efficient effective and representative of what we wanted to see both on the American and Canadian sides. We would do this again in a heartbeat. It is an excellent value, especially considering all of the entrance fees, parking issues, travel complexities, etc.. It’s everything that you want in a day trip to the iconic site.

    Johnny was amazing! Funny, accommodating, knowledgeable. He felt like one an addition to our group of friends, rather than just a tour guide. Highly recommend!

About Niagara Falls

Niagara Falls, New York, is the American side of the great waterfalls on the Niagara River, with a state park, an observation tower and gorge walks.

Niagara Falls, New York, sits on the American bank of the Niagara River, which pours over three waterfalls on its way from Lake Erie to Lake Ontario. Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the United States, was laid out by the landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted and holds viewpoints right at the brink of the American Falls and the smaller Bridal Veil Falls. An observation tower looks over the whole scene, including the horseshoe-shaped falls, most of which lie across the border in Canada.
