A visit to Niagra Falls.

3.00Very bad service. We paid $230 per head for this 1 day trip but the service was not worth the money spent. The bus arrived 10 minutes late. Then they charged us $20 extra for carrying our luggage which was not mentioned anywhere during booking. They also kept asking for us to pay for the boat even though we booked a packaged tour including maid of the mist boat ride. The seat alloted to me was damaged and it kept falling back throughout the 7 hour drive. The AC stopped working middle of the way and it didn't work for the rest of our journey for almost 3 hours. We were fed up with the journey and didn't want to return back by the same bust. We ended up staying back at Buffalo even though our booking included return to NYC. Niagra Falls was an amazing experience though. Our guide Brian was very welcoming, very very informative and helpful. The views of the falls were stunning. Maid of the Mist was out of this world. I recommend a tour to Niagra Falls to everyone but not through Royal Tours.

5.00Bus journey is approximately 7-9hrs each trip inclusive of 2hourly bathroom break and lunch. Niagara falls state park is pretty and an informative tour supported by Brian and Gustavo, our wonderful guides for the day. The challenge for this tour is to be able to sit a total of 16 hours bus journey back and forth back to New York City after the tour. We reached back to the City at 5.30am in the morning. Just perfect to see the sunrise along the way. A wonderful trip with history of the falls.
