This was my first trip with any tour company. I had a great time. The Niagara Falls was just fabulous. Booking with golden bus tours was great. We didn’t have to take much effort as everything fell in place. The hotels were comfortable and the trip was perfect. I have recommended it to my friends and I am planning to do this again with friends I met during this trip.
