Niagara Falls is so amazing!! I only felt that the time when we were at there was too short. The hotel "La Quinta Inn" was clean and very comfortable. The next day in we head to Thousand Islands I only wish we had had more time, because you’ll only stay 1 hour on the boat, and then you say bye-bye. But overall the tour was okay, always on time according to the plan. Thumbs up!

Bus was comfortable and clean. The accommodation arranged served the right purpose, I mean the basic amenities were available and no luxury as expected with this tour package. The accommodation for 2 nights stay was good and we took a lot of pictures and Niagara Falls and Tornoto.
