We went to Niagara Falls the day after an ice storm mid April - It was very cold but it made the experience interesting and different, it wasn't very busy which enabled us to view things easily but it also meant we were unable to do the Mai..d of the Mist boat ride as there were still huge chunks of ice going over the falls. We had a small group only 7 of us but the sights were great, I feel that our guide Fernando made the day very exhausting as he seemed to ramble on when explaining things and also constantly trying to speak French as we had a French lady with her 2 sons on the tour - the boys didnt seem to be listening to what he was saying and the lady could speak clear English which made things very long winded as he clearly didn't know French very well at all and she ended up repeating everything he was saying in French to help him (I think she felt sorry for him) - Under the weather circumstances we enjoyed the sights - great experience but definitely would have preferred a different guide it would have made the day alot better.Read full review
1. No time / place for lunch/ meals was given.
2. Instead of White House, some other site was shown and was told its the North lawn. It does not look like the White House usually seen in TV and even on your website.
The trip was very well run. The only negative was the poor tour guide had to give instructions in four different languages. This got very confusing and annoying after a few hours. Maybe a smaller bus with only two different languages to ..translate would give customers a better experience but would be less cost effective for you.Read full review
Secret Cavern was really avoidable if you have travelled a bit around Europe: Spain, Italy...have much more impressive caverns than this one.
Watkins Glenn was not included this time. We stopped at Corning Glass museum...it is ok. Old Fort ..Niagara was curious and very interesting. Niagara Whirlpool was a good filler. Niagara Falls worth it as long as you take the Maid of the Mist: very funny and beatiful.Read full review
We took this New York Helicopter Tour from Westchester during the 30 minutes, we viewed Central Park and Midtown Manhattan, Harlem and so on. Felt different New York. Very nice.

For a single mom of two active little boys, this was an awesome escape! It was (at first) inexpensive, a great adventure especially for my little guys and an easy way to get away and clear your mind. Our tour guide Judy was awesome, very fr..iendly and patient and very professional and accommodating! I’d hope to get her on my next tour. Ok so now for the warnings! Bring cash and lotsa CA$H! I guess the fees aren’t technically hidden but you sure don’t pay for it up front. I felt like poor Judy was collecting cash at every stop. Cash only for the sites, cash only for the service fees. Then once at Niagara, the food court is cash only. That’s very inconvenient and expensive. I loved our hotel, wished we had more time in it. We were VERY close to the Falls!! Once again Judy was great. Our bus was eh. At first glance I thought Eww. But once on it was ok I guess. In 2018 buses have WiFi and phone chargers. Ours did not. This made it very inconvenient to take pics and videos when you’re on an 8 hour bus ride. I’m not sure why but the trip is heaviest on the ride home. We had to be on the bus by 7:15am and got to China Town at 9p with the transfers, sites, etc. TIP: fill the bus up with people from one spot ie NYC or Jersey. SKIP the glass museum. It’s ok I guess. The food there is the best we had while on the road. But I’d rather had spent that time getting home- especially with a 4yo and 5yo. I’d rather do these things on the way up and have more time in the hotel and at the Falls. Food: BRING YOUR OWN! “Breakfast” the 2nd day was at the fort. My boys ate Cheetos and bananas. Then was fast food along the way- not cool.
I’m so sorry if my review may deter you. We did have an awesome time. This was recommended to me by my friend. We wanna both do it again and will! I mention all of these as a way to do it better the next time if you already have like me or as tips for your first time. I will do this same trip again and plan to book a different one.
Enjoy!!Read full review
