Superb tour! Although bus travel meant we had a lot of time to kill but the guide and the bus driver were both very entertaining. We got to hear amazing jokes throughout the way and it passed our time very well. We also got to see some really good movies on the bus. On this 3-day tour we were able to enjoy beautiful sights at Niagara Falls and other locations as well. Well I’d definitely recommend GoldenBusTours to people who want to enjoy bus tours with affordability and great value. This is a great company to travel with peeps.

I had an amazing time on this tour. I was actually dreading the outcome of travelling alone but GoldenBus Tours made my fears sit aside. The tour guide accompanied me throughout and it certainly proved to be a cherry on top of such a well planned 3 day tour. What I loved most about this company is the fact that they don’t rush you from anywhere. You are free to enjoy the views to your heart’s content.
