Niagara Falls from NYC in one long day: round-trip coach, multiple viewpoints, Observation Tower, and optional Maid of the Mist boat in season.
“Overall, the trip was great, and the experience of visiting Niagara Falls was wonderful. However, the guide’s approach could have been better. Although he was clear about the instructions, his manner was a bit too authoritative, which made it harder to feel comfortable. A more friendly and approachable way of communicating would have been much better.””

“Jay, our tour guide was super attentive the entire trip. Throughout the whole drive and stops, he constantly was telling us historical facts and details about the places we were visiting. My family and I enjoyed all of the stops, they include Watkins Glen, Seneca Lake, and Niagara Falls. The dining options for lunch and dinner could have been better but it turned out great. Definitely recommend booking your trip to Niagara Falls with Jay!”

“My parents and i took the 2 day niagara tour with James as our tour leader. James was great, very patient, prompt in responses and helpful. He arranged the 2 days nicely and thanks to him, we were able to cover all the places. The bus was semi luxury but the driver was good. We stayed at the Niagara Riverside resort which was pretty decent too. Overall a good experience. Will surely recommend going with James.”

A one-day Niagara Falls trip from NYC with Maid of the Mist, nonstop views, and scenic park stops plus seasonal fireworks.
“Niagara falls themselves were absolutely breathtaking and a must see. However, a 7 hour trip there and a 7 hour trip back was too much for us. If you can sleep on a coach it may be ok! The coach was comfortable but not for the length of time the journey took. Your guides at Niagara were great.”
5 days from Niagara to DC: Watkins Glen hike, Maid of the Mist, 1000 Islands cruise, Amish buggy ride, Philadelphia, and memorials.
“Sono stati 5 giorni molto intensi. Abbiamo visto molte cose che da soli non avremmo potuto vendere. Si passa molto tempo in autobus perché le distanze sono elevate ma me vale la pena. Sono sostanzialmente due tour: uno di tre giorni (Niagara, Toronto e mille isole) e uno di due giorni (Philadelphia, contea Amish e Washington). Durante i primi tre giorni è stato tutto eccellente, tempi organizzati molto bene e la guida Andrea preparata e precisa. Gli ultimi due giorni invece sono stati un po' più disorganizzati in quanto i tempi e le regole comuni di buona convivenza non sono state sempre rispettate anche a causa della guida che non…”

“It was great, but the journey is tiring. Overall, it's worth it because the views are beautiful and it's worth taking advantage of the available attractions! However, the long journey must be taken into account. This is definitely not a route for families with children.”
4 days from NYC to Niagara Falls, Philadelphia, and Washington DC with Watkins Glen, Maid of the Mist, and an Amish buggy ride.
“Il tour era suddiviso in due parti con due agenzie, guide e pullman differenti! Niagara nei primi due giorni e Philadelphia e Washington gli altri due! Le guide molto preparate, i tempi molto incalzanti, per ogni visita avevamo al massimo 50 minuti! Un giorno dovevano scegliere se mangiare o visitare il luogo con i negozietti di Lancaster ! Gli alberghi a parte quello della prima notte tutti in posizioni in prossimità di autostrada con servizi molto limitati, e giornata che finiva alle 20.00! Colazioni pessime, nel secondo albergo dall’unico microonde sono venuti fuori un nugolo di moscerini! Senza parlare della poca scelta (es. solo latte freddo, zero parte salata) Sulle…”
