The places where the accommodation was done was also really good, for the price and the peak summer season getting good place to stay is tough but this was really well planned and well round tour.

One of the best tours my parents did in US, the driver/tour guide was just exceptional. The tour really depends on tour guide, and he took care of my parents and everyone in the bus exceptionally well. He made sure every place is covered but also gave them time to come back and gave space. It really felt that my parents were in a very safe hand.
Mingmei Hsieh
Tour guide took us to all the places we should see like Niagara Falls and Cave of the Winds. They even took us a Chinese restaurant where we all had delicious lunch. Overall, one of my best trips ever and I wish everyone can experience the beauty of Niagara Falls just the way it is. Take this tour and you will be very happy. Also if you can, upgrade your hotels, it will enhance your experience.
