“The trip was excellent. The bus was a bit inconvenient and it’s a long trip from NYC but it was okay. We had a lovely guide from the Niagara Falls but after the boat we decided to go to the Canada’s side to see the waterfalls. It was totally worth it. If I could I would spent more time there, it should be more free time to explore cause because of that we had to decide whether to stay with the guide on the American side or go to Canada. Overall it was a pleasant trip, it’s worth to see the falls ;)”
