Honestly the 2 days Niagara tour was flawless. Jason, our tour guide was fantastic. Very understanding, polite, cooperative. Very easy to travel with them. They gave enough breaks and rest time and also cover most important places. Regarding charges, all extra and excluded charges are very clearly mentioned on the website before booking phase.

Itinerary
From Boston, we head to Niagara Falls. As we reach Niagara Falls, fulfilling the long-awaited visit to the Cave of the Winds wooden walkway (closed after October 20th). With nightfall, join us for a nighttime excursion to Goat Island, where amidst the misty colorful lights, lies a fairy-tale waterfall exclusive to the night. Finally, follow the evening breeze to ascend Luna Island.
Niagara Falls, NY
Among the most beautiful natural wonders in the world, Niagara Falls is comprised of three waterfalls that thunder and astound, producing a higher flow rate than any other waterfall in the world and standing at a height of 167 feet.
Cave of the Winds
The Cave of the Winds on the New York side of Niagara Falls is an attraction that allows people to walk along pathways on the river at the base of the American Falls. It is open year-round depending on weather conditions.
Niagara Falls Illumination + Whirlpool State Park
Niagara Falls Illumination, and summer limited fireworks (The fireworks cannot be guaranteed, depending on the local office and weather).
For more than 75 years, visitors to Niagara Falls have been able to enjoy a nighttime illumination of the impressive American and Horseshoe falls. Every night of the year at dusk, visitors can experience the falls a new way. (The fireworks cannot be guaranteed, depending on the local office and weather).
Whirlpool State Park overlooks the Niagara Gorge. Have a picnic in the field above before hiking below to see the whirlpool up close. The park includes hiking and biking trails, fishing spots, and a playground.
In the morning, head to admire the Whirlpool Park landscape, overlooking the whirlpool and canyon to feel the awe-inspiring power of nature. Following downstream along the Niagara Gorge, the not-to-be-missed experience is the Niagara Hot Air Balloon Adventure at dawn.
Next is a close encounter with the falls, the eagerly anticipated Maid of the Mist boat tour (When closed in winter, we'll visit the Niagara Power Vista). After, we will arrive at Buffalo. This city bears both glory and desolation, being the start of the Erie Canal and the source of waterfall waters. Let us climb to the observation tower to experience the grandeur of the Great Lakes, and listen carefully to the rise and fall of this city. Last, we will drive to Boston.

Niagara Hot Air Balloon Adventure
Giant white hot air balloons slowly ascend with the morning sun, resembling elves suspended between heaven and earth, offering a spectacle from 200 meters high to view the thunderous might of the Horseshoe Falls. This breath-taking visual feast truly showcases the awe-inspiring power of the Thunder God's water.
Maid of the Mist
This famous boat ride is perhaps Niagara Falls' most popular attraction. Get ready to get wet: the Maid of the Mist takes its passengers as close to the Horseshoe Falls themselves as it is possible for anyone to get.
Summer Itinerary Only (May - Oct)
Niagara Power Vista
The Niagara Power Vista takes visitors behind the scenes, and the many interactive exhibits help explain what electricity is, how the falls create it, and how it is harnessed and used. This museum is wonderful for people of all ages.
Winter Itinerary Only (Nov - Apr)
Lake Erie + Niagara Falls Observation Deck + Buffalo City Tour Package

I went to the Niagara falls last week, and the trip was great. I recommend it. Matter fact, I'm going back again before the end of the summer.

This is a well-organized tour. We had great experience visiting all the attractions and watching fireworks. The Maid of Mist and Cave of Wind tours were impressive and a lot fun. Our tour guide Leo has been very helpful, he guided us through all the attractions and give clear instructions, so the entire trip went smoothly and we really enjoyed the trip.

I didn’t had a good experience in this tour.
The title of tour is misleading. Due to which me have missed our tour to cave of the winds. Title clearly mentions that Niagara Falls tour with Cave of the winds, that’s why we have not opted for Scenic in depth tour. Later at the time of leaving when we asked for Cave of the Winds at that time guide told me that it was part of Scenic in depth tour.
We feels like cheated.
Also ever after service charges mandatory 24 USD guid asked everyone to tip driver.
We took a two days Niagara trip from Boston recently.It was a well organized trip with proper itinerary. Though the travl time was too long, around eight hours we didn't feel the tiredness as they gave break every two and half hours to refresh ourselves and take food. But you have plan your food if you are not prepared for westernised food.The associates Roy and Mac were very friendly..Though Chinese their English was understandable..
Overall It was a fantastic experience..
