Packing it all in in Niagara Falls

4.00Very well organized. Well worth it if you only have a short period of time in Niagara Falls. The bus originates in Toronto so it was full before it reached Niagara Falls.
first day tour

5.00Hello Gray Line Toronto, I had a wonderful time with Alex and Hugo. I am pleased I booked this trip and how I wish we had more time. This is my first time to try a Day Tour. Good thing, Gray Line - Alex and Hugo didn’t disappoint… and I couldn’t ask for more. They have been warm, accommodating and been great. I wouldn’t change anything, but most probably the time… how I wish we had more time. Time to just bask and take in the scenery and the experience… Overall, I enjoyed it and I was over the moon and back… (or should I say “I’ve been to Niagara Falls and back” hahaha ) Kidding aside, I am pleased and grateful for the awesome time and experience. Thank you so much. ☺️❤️❤️❤️
