Review of Niagara Falls’ six-hour US and Canadian tour, with Skylon Tower views, Maid of the Mist, border tips, and practical advice.

“Excellent overview of Niagara Falls from both the US / Canadian side! Our guide, Patty, was engaging and funny. We never felt rushed at any stop. The highlight was the Maid of the Mist boat ride! A great day which our family will cherish for years to come!”

Review of Niagara Falls USA’s $79.99 half-day tour with Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, hotel pickup, and seasonal options.

“I joined this tour with friends, and we were all really disappointed. The guide showed up 45 minutes late, and instead of trying to make up lost time, he kept us sitting on the bus talking about himself and even singing to certain guests. At every stop, we spent more time waiting on the bus than actually enjoying the attractions. When we finally got to Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds, we felt rushed because so much of the day had already been wasted sitting still. Another issue is that this tour doubles as a hotel shuttle service. If you drive yourself to the pickup spot, you’ll…”

Review of the Niagara Falls day trip from NYC, covering the 16-hour bus journey, Maid of the Mist, viewpoints, cost, and practical tips.

“Overall, the trip was great, and the experience of visiting Niagara Falls was wonderful. However, the guide’s approach could have been better. Although he was clear about the instructions, his manner was a bit too authoritative, which made it harder to feel comfortable. A more friendly and approachable way of communicating would have been much better.””

“Our guide Peter was very knowledgeable and had a lot of background on the places we visited our passed by. He was amazing for his language skills and physical ability for his age. You could tell he enjoyed his job. The tour gave us many rest stops so you didn't need to worry using the restroom. We were able to eat snacks and lunch in a timely manner. Stopped at Watkins Glen Park and did a hike looking at a beautiful waterfall. The main attraction Niagara Falls was amazing. We were able to go to both sides of the Falls and did the Maid of mist boat ride. What an…”

Get soaked beside Niagara Falls on the Maid of the Mist, then hear park stories on a short guided walk for $57.

“I went at the very end of the season (November), and I would say we did not gain anything by this tour. The “tour” portion was just taking a short walk around areas we had already walked, and the guide did not really give us that much information. He spent most of the tour feeding the squirrels and birds in the park (which was fun the first time, but it got old quickly). There was no line to Maid of the Mist because of when we went, so having the tour to bypass the line was also pointless. We basically just spent $25 extra to ride maid of the mist…”
