    What a day!! This tour was fabulous! We may have had to start at 4am but it was worth it. Niagara Falls is magical. Arthur, our tour guide, was amazing, along with our bus driver. If you have a spare day in New York I highly recommend it!

    Had lots of fun. Our tour guide was nice. Make sure to bring a coat or a extra sweater because it gets cold over there. I just wish we had enough time to see everything because 2 hours is not enough time to view every thing.
