Full description

Get up close to explore the scenic beauty of Niagara Falls on the US side, on a bus tour of the area. Head to its most popular viewpoints for breathtaking panoramas of the thundering falls.

Visit the American side's top attractions, including a ride aboard the world-famous Maid of the Mist and famous Observation Tower. Your experienced and personable guide will share with you the region's rich history. On your 4.5-hour half-day tour, you will begin with the hotel pickup from Niagara Falls, New York, or Niagara Falls, Ontario, aboard a climate-controlled bus. The first stop is Niagara Falls State Park. Descend 250 feet to the base of the American Falls to board the world-famous Maid of the Mist boat.

Sail up to the Horseshoe Falls, to feel the refreshing spray and hear the roar of water rushing over its cliffs. Get up close and personal to the Falls at the Cave of the Winds. Descend 175 feet into the Niagara Gorge and then get kitted out in a poncho and specialized footwear.

Hike a series of wooden walkways up to the famous "Hurricane Deck." Enjoy views of the Falls from various lookout spots, like Prospect Point and Terrapin Point. Walk around Whirlpool State Park for panoramic viewing of the Niagara Rapids and Whirlpool from atop the Niagara Gorge Trail.

Loved being picked up and taken to Maid of Mist and Cave of Winds. Both were lots of fun! It was nice not having to stand in line for tickets, etc. There was also some other good sights and history points. Our guide was nice but having a hard day. She rushed us in and out of places and treated us like school children on a field trip.

John T was a fantastic tour guide, from Gray Line Tours, start to finish! He had a pleasant & humorous personality. He had great facts to share about the sights we were seeing & even some side points as we drove to our destinations. He was a safe driver & made sure our total group of 18 were accounted for throughout our tour. I highly recommend John & Gray Line Tours to anyone visiting the Niagara area! It really made our wedding anniversary trip a once in a lifetime experience!
