Thanks viiator for a memorable 2 days we enjoyed seeing the countryside and paticularily Niagara falls stunning.tour guide was friendly and very informative .would recommend this tour to everyone

6 days of go go go!. We were up every day at 6am for either to catch a jet plane, a bus transport or ready to do another tour. The days were long and we were forever in and out of aircrafts, buses and hotels BUT what an experience. The tour guide Alexi was brilliant and his aim was to see that we saw as much of NYC, Niagara Falls, Canada, Harrisburg and Lancaster, and Eashington DC that we could. And we did! The tour group was mostly people from Holland but they spoke English to us and made us feel part of the tour.There was 15 of them and us two Australians.
Niagara Falls was so spectacular and the added tours we went on enabled us to see both sides of the Falls - US and Canada. The US side is better as you are right at the edge of the falls. Toronto and the CN tower and Parliament Building worth seeing. The trip to Pennslyvannia and the Hamish county was very educational. Washington was just Washington - the Smithonian Museums were huge and too many to visit in the time we had but glad we saw what we could. The Arlington Cemetery and memorials to Lincoln, Martin King, the war veterans were something to see. A visit to George Washingtons Plantation at Mt Vernon was also a treat. All in all we had a wonderful time and this trip was great value for money. The hotels (Hilton and Sheraton) where we stayed were first class. A first class trip and great value - highly recommended.

Niagara Falls what a spectacular destination. This tour should not be missed although you need to be aware that it can be more than a 14hr day. We were picked up at 6.30am and dropped back at our hotel at 11pm! Our guide Eduardo was lovely and our lunch at the hotel afforded fantastic views of the falls. Maid of the Mist ride worth getting wet for! Up close the falls are one on natures wonders that should not be missed.

Our trip was amazing. From the friendly pick up at our hotel to boarding our flights to Buffalo and being met by our super friendly guide Guiseppe! We had an amazing day touring the falls and other points of interest around Niagara. Day was very long with our flight back to NYC not until 9pm! We were back in our hotel by 11:30pm though. Awesome value for money!

Most amazing trip by far. Our guide/driver Guiseppe was fantastic. Very knowlegable. Early start, and late return but if you only have one day to see Niagara this is a must do!! Don't miss it!!

This was an expensive but excellent tour, if you can only afford one day to travel to / from New York to Niagara Falls. Everything went like clockwork - shuttle pick at hotel, boarding passes ready at airport, tour operator waiting at Niagara, approx 7 hours actually at Niagara Falls on both USA and Canada sides, 4 course buffet lunch at 4* hotel overlooking the falls, visit to many other interesting sights around the falls themselves. Guide spoke 3 languages fluently to all tour guests, and went out of his way to show us as much as possible. this was a small group tour of 15, which was also great. One of the best run tours I've been on. Only one downside was the bus wasn't air conditioned throughout, only for the driver, so it got very hot indeed at times.

Very expensive for one day, however Niagara Falls is absolutely amazing to see. Its something you would only need to see once in your life. It was great that the guide took you down underneath the falls, to see how much water is coming down, and to hear the loud sound it makes. I liked that you had buffet lunch at a hotel that over looks the falls. You are out the whole day, from 3 am - 10pm. Very well organised. If you are thinking of doing it, I would reccommend it to anyone

The trip was a great experience. With the convenience of 4 flights by private plane you see Niagara Falls, Toronto, Lancaster, Harrisburg, Washington DC and Mount Vernon pretty well - visiting the highlights and also some places of interest close to destinations, by a very good coach service. Luggage delivery to and from room was very convenient and perfectly organised.

Annie the host, did a very good job in organising the schedule to make the best of the time we had in all the places visited. She also gave us a chance to choose where to go, when to Capitol was closed for security reasons. This was very nice of her. Truly an unforgettable experience. She gave us good background information to all the places visited. Doing the hotel check in while we were on a tour visit, was well appreciated. Our time was never wasted. Thank you Annie.
Overall an unforgettable experience.

For a first time visitor, it was awesome. The guide was helpful, stayed with us until we boarded our return flight. The cost was a little pricey but i have no regrets. Some of what I have seen in NY was less than expected but not the case for Niagara Falls. I would recommend this trip to anyone who can afford it if it's your first time visiting. Enjoyed every minute of the tour.

To be 100% honest, I was a little concerned about this tour because of some of the reviews I had read. However, I am not sure if we were just lucky but the tour was fantastic! Everything was very well organised. The tour guide ran a tight ship so both days ran completely on time. The bus stopped every couple of hours so that we could eat or stretch our legs. The stop at Watkins Glen gorge on day one was definitely enjoyable and on day two we had two hours of shopping time at the retail outlets. Niagara Falls itself was a highlight of our trip. The weather was excellent and we thoroughly enjoyed the Maid of the Mist. Both sides of the falls were very scenic but make sure you see the Canadian side if possible. The night we spent in Buffalo was also very enjoyable, particularly for our young children, as the town is almost like a mini Las Vegas for kids - they absolutely loved it! The Super 8 hotel was also very good for what you pay - clean and with everything you require for a one night stay. I was pleasantly surprised (although I did hear our guide say that we were in the newer section, so perhaps the older section is not as good). Thanks Viator - this tour was definitely worth it!

Brilliant trip. Collected by bus on the first morning and taken to local airport for flight to Niagara. Enjoyed the activities around Niagara but think there should have been an overnight stop in Toronto instead of returning to Niagara. Some evening meals a little limited. Enjoyed Hershey factory and day with Amish. Washington was fantastic. Service by Mauiva reps was fantastic. Tour guide had a very comprehensive knowledge of areas visited. Excellent service from air staff and coach drivers - treated like a proper VIP. I would definitely recommend this trip. All hotels had spacious rooms with 2 Queen beds in the room. Breakfast in each hotel was of excellent standard. Couldn't fault the service. Looking to book more trips in the future - travelling by plane is so much better than by coach, saving so much time and allows more time at activity/place of interest. Brilliant! Fantastic! Awesome! RECOMMENDED.

Niagara Falls was fantastic. Driver collected me from my hotel and was dropped off at the airport - greeted by a guy who provided the group with boarding passes. The flight to Buffalo was quick and we were greeted at that end by our guide - Giuseppe. One of the best guides I had on my tours. He gave us a rundown on what was happening on the tour and brief history of the landmarks that we passed during our travels. We had a Buffet lunch at the Sheraton (on the Canadian side) was great and the group was given plenty of time to look around and have time by ourselves. The whole tour was fabulous and was even better with Giuseppe as the guide - he was very friendly and helpful throughout the trip.

This was a great was to see Niagara Falls in one day from New York. Everything was arranged perfectly. You do get to spends lots of time to enjoy the falls from both sides. Would recommend this tour if you only have one day to visit.

Highly recommended despite the very early start and the long travel time. The tour company (Gray Lines) are very well organised and highly efficient. In Niagara you see the falls from every possible angle. A really great day trip from New York.
