We are all very pleased with our trip to Trinity Church and Niagara Falls. We did get a few obstacles on the way but nothing that disturbed us. We had a great guide! Excellent weather and overall a great trip.we would recommend this trip to our friends.

I went on this tour as part of our honeymoon rendezvous. My God, it is the best romantic place ever. Trinity Church was truly iconic but it was the falls that did it for us. Candlelit dinners in trendy hotels, getting pampered at spas as well as sightseeing, wine tasting topped off by a romantic evening at the Niagara Falls Firework made our honeymoon magical. The tour guide was kind enough to accommodate our ‘extra’ activities whenever we felt like wondering off. Two days were just not enough.

I am more into nature than architecture, but I must say that Trinity Church is a true work of architectural genius. The church is extremely beautiful and I am glad I gave it a chance. As for the Falls, how about you just go see them. No words no matter how flattering can truly describe this wonder. I had a lot of fun exploring both the man-made and natural scenes and would recommend this trip to anyone.

For a foreign tourist like me, this was the most educational and entertaining trip in the US that I have been to. Our guide, Ray, was a swell guy and was super helpful with his brief historical speeches and fun facts about almost every location we travelled to. What’s more delightful is the fact that I was able to save lots of money for shopping even after paying for the whole trip package.

The very thought of going somewhere pleases people and now on this tour we also were among the happy lot about seeing places. The driver was fast and slow, it would have been better had he been consistent. This 3 day visit to different places was like a dream.

I planned a three day trip with Golden Bus Tours for me and my mum on her 50th birthday. Travelling from Boston to the Canada-US border, we travelled most of the main attractions. There was a tour guide with us too who was really helpful and informative. Other than that the bus ride was luxurious with air-conditioned buses. All in all this was an amazing bonding trip with my mom which didn’t leave a dent in my pocket in terms of my hard earned money.

The places we visited were truly magnificent but the services from Golden Bus and the hotel were alright not exemplary and could definitely be improved. Not bad at all and I would recommend since the packages are very competitive.

After coming up with an idea of a high-school reunion after 10 years, we booked an inter-country trip with Golden Bus Tours. Starting with amazingly affordable rates, we were able to book connecting hotel rooms for the two nights stay. Usually with pre-planned tours like these, you are usually rushed around from one location to the next. But with this trip all of us had an amazing time while making awesome new memories.

It was my first time visiting Niagara Falls. Let’s just say that pictures don’t do this place justice, you just have to see it to experience the wonder that is Niagara. We had a lovely time soaking in the extraordinary beauty and power of the falls, riding on the Maid of Mist Boat, hiking and sightseeing at the Niagara Park Botanical Garden. Our guide was always happy to help and had a wealth of information to share with us.
