Availing the opportunity of buy 2 get 1 free was a strong reason for me to book this trip. I enjoyed my free time with my friends and also felt proud moment by walking at world-famous universities.

I enjoyed this tour with my friends and We had a great experience with the Niagara Falls night tour which was an unforgettable moment for us. This company organized this tour very well. We will plan again to go on tour with this agency soon.
