Una experiencia imperdible
Al inicio estaba dudando si iba a ser una buena experiencia, ahora que he regresado lo recomiendo absolutamente. Tienes que ir con la idea que son 7 horas de ida y 7 de vuelta, luego de eso, el viaje es una fantasía.

A visit worth it’s time and effort!
The waterfall & park is definitely a must-see if one is visiting the nearby cities.
The falls were majestic and one can feel the force of the water flows just standing nearby.

Riding on the Maid of the Mist was an experience by itself. Be prepared to get wet even with the raincoat provided. Still totally worth it as the ride takes you up close to the falls. At the right time & angle, one can spot multiple rainbows too!

Last of the positives but definitely not the least! The guides on the ground were fantastic with their deep knowledge of the area’s history and stories. We were lucky to have Bryant, Joel & 1 other chap (my sincere apologies for forgetting your name!!!) who were funny, friendly and most of all, helpful. Even to the extent of helping to take wonderful photos for our memories!

2 reasons why we didn’t give this tour a 5star though.
First and I stress this has nothing to do with the guides but the package being sold up front.
The package should indicate that participants were able to enter the Canadian side if one has the necessary documents (in our case – a valid ESTA & passport).
Because we weren’t sure, we didn’t have our passports and thus missed that wonderful opportunity to see the falls from the Canadian side.
The 2nd point and again nothing to do with the guides nor tour organiser but the night lights were a tad disappointing. Expected to see a light show (sync with music or something to that effect) but it was just lights reflecting off the falls.
The fireworks at 10pm was a highlight but would have been nicer if it was synced to some music.

Overall it was an enchanting experience but if you’re taking the tour from NYC like us, be prepared for a +/- 9hr journey up & another 9hr down, making the tour almost 24hrs.
To us, it was totally worth it!

Ich hätte es schöner gefunden, wenn der Ausflug eine Übernachtung beinhalten würde. Für mich persönlich war die Nachtfahrt zurück nicht so gut. Gut war, dass auf der Fahrt immer wieder Pausen gemacht wurden.
