Overall, the trip was nice. Among the good things... Ease of making a reservation via GoToBus.com We were able to cover Niagara comfortably in 2 days. The logistics around planning were handled well. The price of the tour was very reasonable. Among the things that I didn't like... The quality of the hotel was not great. Attitude of the tour-guide when pushing everyone to pay for the 'optional' attractions & service-fee wasn't good.

We really enjoyed the trip. Good people, good tour Guide Ms. Winner really took good care of us. The hotel Marriott Rochester is the best. Thanks for the great trip, it was well worth it.

Had a good time at the trip without getting tired. Good bus, and good company of people from Boston. The accommodation was decent for a night. The bus was on time and we got back to Boston on time. No complaints, its value for money. Might do a new tour soon.

I went last Saturday with Sunshine tours to Niagara falls and Thousand Islands. It was the best tour I've ever been on. Thanks to the good drivers and the assistants, they were very nice and Niagara Falls was amazing. Everyone should take this tour with GotoBus.

Our Tour Guide was Simon. He was not at all impressive, most of his instructions were not clear. Need to improve the standard of the bus, the AC was very noisy and always interfering with the tour guide's instructions.Otherwise everything was fine with the trip

This tour is the one of the most cost effective bus tours I have seen. 1000 island is not all that great if optional it is better to skip. The tour guide is very polite and has answer for all the questions. the food services areas we dropped by were for too much fast food.

Two day tour was good and hotel were not bad either (Holiday Inn).

It was a good experience and the hotel room was comfortable. Niagara Falls by night is breathtaking and worth the travel (8 hours in the bus from Boston).

This is a very good tour and at such a good price, my parents loved it. This was there first time in US and the driver and assistant were very helpful in arranging tickets for everything. Will personally take this in future.

This tour is the one of the most cost effective bus tours I have heard. The hotel room given really worth the money (Holiday Inn). This 2 day tour covers are the must visit places in ‘City of Niagara falls’. The tour guide is very polite and has answer for all the questions. 1000 island is not all that great if optional it is better to skip.

This tour was great. Its better than going by yourself as the drive is far, and the two locations are remote.For those with US passports, I highly recommend doing this tour together in conjunction with Canada.I regret not noticing this option when I booked the tour.

Not bad, but the food services areas we dropped by were for too much fast food. I would like to have chance to taste more various food.

	Reviewed by: Camilla, 2009-09-29 12:01:30
This tour is perfect for people without passport or Visa. I like the view in the US side. The tour gudie was fast and helped us arrange Maid of Mist. I want to apply for Canadian Visa so next time I can go to see Canadian side of falls!
