Yes, the trip was awesome. Mr. Roberto is experienced guide and driver. He has vast knowledge. He works extra miles. On the way back, he drove to the country side of Buffalo to see a beauty of the place. We stopped over at a nice town and great supermarket. Thank you, it's well recommended.

The Niagara Falls are a collection of three waterfalls combining a total height of 167 ft! Famed for their remarkable beauty, the falls also produce a significant amount of hydroelectric power for New York City and Ontario! Start your day early as you make your way towards the American-Canadian border, and reach the falls after 7-8 hours of comfortable travel time.

Upon arrival at your destination, experience the adventure and beauty of The Niagara Falls onboard the historic Maid of the Mist boat cruise, or when the Maid of the Mist is not running, from other observation points such as Cave of the Winds Gorge Walk.

You can then indulge in local delicacies for lunch. Take this opportunity to check out popular tourist joints and once your stomach is satisfied, head towards the beautiful Niagara Falls State Park. You are free to use your time however you want once you're at the park. Carry a camera to get beautiful pictures of your time there! After a relaxed day packed with scenic views, wrap up your experience with sweet visuals of the sun-setting along the beautiful landscape as you make your way back to New York City.
