4-Day Niagara Falls, Toronto, Montreal Tour from New York/New Jersey

Fantastic trip, so much packed into such a short time! Boris the guide was great and really looked after everyone.

Tour was great. I took it for the third time. The service has been improved so much! The tour guide Cecilia is very kind and professional. The hotel was clean. We are happy in the whole 2 days tour. I will come back again next year

Our driver Orlando is very fun to talk with. I wish I have time to get to know Cecilia more. But she is a very hard working lady. always taking care of everyone. I wished company allowed us to bring coffee on the bus. Please let people to have a coffee break.

Tour Guide Mai was excellent. Hotel rooms very comfortable and chosen restaurants were very very good.

One of the best tours I had on Taketours. Well organized and the guide mai and driver were very cooperative. Was able to cover all the places as per schedule

i will recommend this tour to anyone,tour guide mai were excellent and very cooperative. Accommodation was very good and had ample time to visit the places. The only problem we had is of food as we are vegetarian and in montreal we coudnt find any veg food

I've had a wonderful time with this 4 days tour. Our tour guide Mai is so nice and very professional and pleasant. Covers and maximize our time see important places.

My Best Friend and I took up this tour package and I would recommend this to all of you. All because Boris, our tour guide is so handsome, awesome and so helpful throughout the trip!!! He was so attentive to everyone's needs and accommodating to every request. We were so refreshed when we got back to NYC. Boris arranged everything for all of us and he knows the places very well. Even the people who worked at the attractions in Canada talked to him and treated him like a long-time friend. Boris is knowledgeable and we like him a lot. We will either do this tour again in the future (of course, only if Boris is our tour guide) or take up more tours.

It's an amazing trip with the best tour guide, Boris, i and friend are very happy with his hard working, helpful and joyful

We had an excellent tour with Boris. He was very organized, knowledgeable, friendly, helpful, funny and an amazing person!! We would book a different tour next time soon.!!

Really well done ane reasonably priced 4-day trip to Canada. Packed with attractions. Nice hotels on the way and very friendly and organised guide tour mai. We had an impression with my wife that the whole trip lasted much longer

we had so much fun ! mai our tour guide was excellent! he Explained everything in detail and was so sweet and calm at all times ! he was super organized and made this experience pleasurable !

Very good tour. Had great and relaxing time. Tour guide, mai, was great and very accommodating and kind. Also the bus driver, was very professional.

It is amazing that in 4 days we did so many things and visited so many places in Canada and also upstate New York. Max was a wonderful tour guide - knowledgeable, patient, and great at keeping everything on track. We also enjoyed meeting different people on the tour. Wrapping up the trip with Ausable Chasm, a wonder of nature, made us very happy.

I had this tour last week and it was a blast. Our tour guide, Boris, is very professional in how he handles everyone and every situation during the trip. He is friendly, knowledgeable and funny. He made sure we got to see as many attractions as possible even though the weather was not cooperating. To be honest, I wish the trip was longer. But it's fine since we only had four days and we had to spend most of the time in the bus. The bus driver is professional as well. Overall, this is a really great tour. I would definitely recommend this tour.

I went to the trip with my family, and we had an amazing time in the Canadian cities. Our tour guide Vicky was doing a marvellous job telling us about the citites, and helping us with any thing that we needed help with. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I would certainlly recommend it!

I went on this 4 day tour trip to Canada with my family it was awesome . we all loved it . Vicky the tour guide person was really really helpful and was explaining every thing thoroughly. also the driver Angela she was a really good driver and patient with everyone .I would 10/10 recommend those people and this trip especially if you are on a budget. The hotels were great and overall it was so much fun.

I and my mom take a vacation on this tour. We are very appreciated to Boris,the tour guide for his responsibility and knowledgeable, and tour arrangement. The hotel was very nice and comfortable. Good itinerary and there have enough time to travel by ourselves. So we highly recommend this tour.

Excellent tour, money well spend. Our tour guide - Boris, was an excellent help, very knowledgeable and had a lot of patience, Boris did an excellent job keeping everything together. Orlando the Bus driver, was very kind and cordial. I would certainly do this again.

excellent tour, very interesting and well organized Thank you so much

The tour was great. Our tour guide Boris was a very good leader. He was kind to everyone. Also he had knowledge about every place we had visited. Not only that, he respected all of the elderly people. He always made us come back on time to visit the other attractions. Boris was never mean to anyone. He was very kind.I recommend to have Boris as your tour guide and I hope he gets to meet more people and take them to different attractions.

Our tour guide Boris is great. He was a great leader. Also, he had a lot of knowledge about all the places we visited. Not only that he was very kind to everyone. Boris also stayed back to help many people. Personally, I think that Boris should be our tour leader every time we go on a different tour. Thank you very much Boris.

I went on my tour last month at the end of June and I had an amazing time. Our tour guide Vicky was great. While the hotel accommodations were not always the best, for what you pay for for the package with the hotel included is a great deal. I would definitely recommend this tour.

We just went back from our 4 days tour. We had a wonderful time in Canadian cities and experienced many famous attractions. We were very satisfied with our stays during our tour. We stayed in exceptionally clean rooms which were spacious for us. And the food was well arranged. Both tour guide Max and driver Dymous were very friendly and made the experience exceptional! I will absolutely choose Taketours next time!

We made all of our tour arrangements through TakeTours, and everything went so well. Their gracious & professional customer services helped to make our holidays fantastic. Both my friend and I will never forget this trip. Especially thanks to our guide Max. He's a really kind and sweet man. Thanks so much for your arrangement.

Starting with the booking and going through with the tour, we had an amazing experience. The tour guide Max was very responsive and had deep knowledge. The hotels were very comfortable and accommodating. The best part of the tour was the shuttle transfers and it was very well co-ordinated. The Niagara tour was the best experience I had.

Me and my mother, 2 friends and I did the 4 day tour, we had a very good time, Max, our tour guide is excellent, he knows a lot. Thank you!

A very wonderful week with a fabuloso tour guide Max! He was knowledgeable, informative, entertaining & fun! I will recommend this tour to anyone, especially if you have 'Super Max' as the tour guide!! Worth every penny!!

My tour was from 6/28/18 to 7/1/18. It was extremely fun given that the tour guide (Mr Max) and the group was a bunch of fun loving people to begin with. My wife and I had thoroughly enjoyed our time there Max was extremely good in providing us information along the way and had taken care of the group extremely well.

Our tour guide Max and driver Dymous played an extremely important part in making our tour one of the most memorable one. Max's patience combined with an amazing personality managed the group so professionally while also attending to personal needs as they arose. He communicated so well giving enough informational and time for us to manage ourselves on this tour. We covered so much in the last three days and this is largely owed to the driver and Max. Our driver was equally amazing by playing such an important part in ensuring our safe travels. Always on time and alert we felt very safe at all times on the road. May I also mention his dedication and commitment to his job by presenting himself with a smile. Many thanks to both of you for daring tour time and giving us the care to make this tour a memorable one. With much appreciation, Shaila and Derick from New Zealand.

Is great with boris

Our tour guide Boris was an excellent leader. I've taken many tours and so far he was the best tour guide. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about each cities and attractions. He made sure we were always on time. He went above and beyond to satisfy us during our last Canada Trip, especially the elderly people. I highly recommend Boris and hope he gets to serve more and more people.

Boris, our tour guide was very good, he was very nice and responsible. He has lots of experience so he was able to give very good explanations of all the places. We had over 50 people, and he was very timely and kept everyone together very well. I think his experience helped everyone cooperate and be on time in order for us to be on schedule. His Chinese and English is also very good and understandable. The driver, Oscar, was a very good driver, we felt very safe and comfortable with him the whole time. The itinerary was enjoyable and introduced us to some things we wouldn’t have experienced without this tour. The only bad thing was the hotels which was very hit or miss and one was quite dirty, but for how low the price is for the tour, it’s understandable. Overall the tour was a very good experience and the tour guide was very nice. Would travel again.

Overall the trip is good, not too rushed. We enjoyed all the stops - did not participate in most of the optional activities and instead explored on our own. We traveled in a smaller bus with only 13 people but was asked to sit in the uncomfortable back row twice (even though our tour guide said we would rotate each week to make it fair). Our tour guide, Mai, was professional but did not interact/engage with the guests throughout most of the trip, which was unfortunate. The hotels were decent, can't complain. We really enjoyed the walkins glen park and thousand islands boat ride! Highly recommend those!

I highly recommend this tour! I did it a few days ago and it was fantastic. The tour guide Boris was really friendly, helpful and responsible. Hope to travel with this agency again

I was very satisfied with the way you conduct your tours,Max. This is our second time using your company and we plan on taking our next vacations with you as well.

Unfortunately, due to the weather conditions, we miss CN tower and Aquarium, but still enjoy the tour. Thank you Max, He is so kind and professional tour guide. No matter the people join the attraction or not, he still takes good care of them.

First time on this tour and enjoyed it to the full. My teen boy and my 9 y/o also had a great time. We signed up for everything. Out tour guide, Max Liang, was very informative and attentive at all times. The driver engaged my son too, which made it most enjoyable. Met many people from all parts of the world. I am glad we spent time on this activity. Will definitely tour again!

Overall great tour experiences. Tour guide, Jupiter, was knowledgeable: and very organized. He made us sign a song to whoever comes into bus at last passenger at every attraction that we stop to visit: I think it was a great idea for customers to be on time, and creating a fun environment. Driver TJ is on time always, driving safe and sound to all location for us. We were all sleeping on bus: yet, TJ sipped coffee, and keep driving for us. We had 36 people group: so, it was right amount for the trip. It might have been a totally different experience if we were to have full passengers on the bus, on this four days/three nights trip to Canada/NY. I would recommend the trip: and Jupiter legend is a very reasonable tour guide with many accommodations to his customers.

The guid tried to be care of the itinerary so we are almost on time. and eventhough i am not good english speaker but i can understand his explain. Especially when he told us about the time that we should come together, he told it repeatly so i was able to understand the schduel. I am sorry that i couldnt ride a niagara falls boat, but i and my friend loved this trip.

The tour has visited many interested attractions in Canada. The tour guy, Boris, can speak well both Chinese and English. He is very friendly, knowledge, and nice person. He arranged all events very well. It was a wonderful tour for my family during Spring Break.

We were occasionally assigned the back seat, and we travel with our baby. Were so worried about it at the beginning. But our guide worried about our baby as well. He went to the back seat and check hows our baby doing. Such a mindful tour guide. We absolutely come back for you again.

bought this tour for my sister and her husband who came from Italy. They enjoyed ithe tour very much. The guide named Max was very nice and helpful, they are really thankful.

The itinerary is well planned and our tour guide Max is very accomodating and knowledgeable. Fluent in English and Mandarin language.

Actually, I'm a travel coordinator from Australia. I took the tour to see if Canada is good for Australian tourists. The answer is Yes. The itinerary was organized well, the tour guide(Max) is professional and kind to everyone. He even lead to sing a song for somebody's birthday. I definitely will bring more people back to the tour.

unforgettable experience. thanks Max(guide), he is so mindful and professional. After he knew it's my birthday on the tour. He sang a birthday song for me. It's really touching. Thank you.

I love this trip, especially our tour guide, Boris, he is very helpful and knowledgeable. One thing I love him is he is very on time guide agent and friendly. Love to have him guide in the future.

This is very nice trip. Our Guide Wendy was fantastic and also give us very good information. Also help if we have any problem. This is one of my best tours. I would recommend to anyone.

Hi, this tour covers alot and the tour guide Eddie and the driver are very nice and professional.

Overall is good, the hotel is ok, can't complain about it. Special thanks to our guide Max. We had a wonderful memory with you.

We are the family who travel with our friends ( they are second time to join this tour). What coincidence is the guide is the same one as their first tour. They said that Max was really nice guide . And you really are, we all satisfied your service, we rate five stars for you.

excellent organisation of trip and all the attractions. Guide was so helpful and made the entire trip so comfortable. Its a total value for money trip, would like to go for other tours in near future also

This was a wonderful trip I ever had, worth doing this trip ,Tour guide Jupiter was awesome, very good hotels and itinerary was perfect.

we had a wonderful trip. We enjoy every stop. The tour guide Faith is very professional. I recommend this tour.

Great tour. Max was absolutely wonderful and very helpful. We were delighted to have as our tour guide,This is our second tour with Max and loved it.

Unforgettable tour. Our guide, Aaron was really nice, patient, and friendly and so was our driver, Hemero (very good driver as well). Tour was very organized; I really liked all the attractions -- well done!!! Highly recommend. I'll definitely book with TakeTours again.

A wonderful experience made even better by our tour guide Boris. The itinerary for the tour is a perfect combination of excitement, fun and information. Boris made the trip feel like a breeze with his good coordination, time management and friendliness. we had enough time to explore all the attractions without waiting in big lines or feeling bored. Thanks to the expert bus driver the tour did not seem long at all. I highly recommend this tour. And I highly recommend Boris as a perfect tour guide.

Niagara Falls is amazing. Thousands island is calm. Montreal is really different world. Max is good person to travel with.

I'm sure I'll come back again. It's better than I expected. And with guide Max instructions and recommendations, make the tour even more better.

The attractions is good , the food is good too, just the hotel is so so... but overall, it's good tour with this price. Hope to see our guide Max again. A professional guy with really good personality.

The tour is good, you will see a lot different places on it.just a bit tired. Thanks to Max(guide), we had a good time, and don't need to worry about anything!

I joined some different tour before, it's not like this one. All the attractions are worth to see. We recommend the tour. And try to follow guide Max. Professional and kind!

Good tour with good guide. Thousands island tour is my favorite. And Max knows a lot, we joined the tour before, but this time feels like in depth tou. Thanks

The Niagara Falls is amazing. And we really enjoy all the attractions, especially when we had lunch on skylon tower. Perfect! And special thanks our guide Max, good job!

We visited a lot of places this time. They all worth. And our guide Max is really professional. Thank you!

Max is superb, we like him, and we will recommend our friends to join the tour

Max is an awesome tour guide. He was able to provide necessary information to enjoy our tour. His direction and time schedule was pretty good. We really had a good time with him. Thanks again Max for your outstanding Job!!!

we had a wonderful trip. this tour will take you see so many things in four days, which is impossible for you to do it yourself. we will join again. our tour guide is Aaron. he is awesome.

Even though there were some changes to the itinerary advertised here , this over all was a good trip to see quickly the tourist highlights.

This was my first bus tour and it won't be my last. I had such a good time and I wouldn't be able to do everything I did without the bus tour. I went to Niagara Falls, Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and a few places upstate New York. I saw so much of Canada in just four days. It was an amazing trip and I met amazing people in Canada and on the bus. I'm a new traveler but this trip so far tops it. Wendy was a great tour guide and made sure everything ran smoothly and we were on time. Her "da da da da" wake up call was hilarious. Also, her singing was an extra treat and I can tell she really enjoys it. I would definitely recommend this trip to a friend and family members. It's a great way to meet people and to see so much in a little amount of time. Ended up going July 1st to July 4th. During those dates so much was happening between Canada Day and Fourth of July weekend. We had a very busy trip and I love every single moment of it. I hope to meet my bus buddies again in the future. If anyone is looking to travel again please feel free to message me. Xoxo Thank you, Gabrielle Cinevert

July 1st,2017, 4 Day Canada Tour, Wendy did a great job. Nice Tour. I recommend this tour to everybody.I and my wife enjoyed a lot.

All the attractions are nice, we recommend this tour, and appreciate Max did your good job for us

We're the family from Malaysia. This is an unforgettable tour with such a kind tour guide Max. We satisfied the tour

I will never forget my tour guide treat me a red wine during the French dinner. That's a good memory. About the tour, the schedule is good, suit for most of people

We're a big group. But our guide Max is always patient to us. And really professional. We like him. Recommend this tour

Overall, all the attractions are worth to visit. Max help us a lot, a good guide from your company

My favorite part is having lunch on skylon tower. Awesome! Overall all the attractions are worth. Thank you Max

Thanks to Max, we met our family in Canada. And he helped us to arrange the dinner. Really good guide. And we recommend this tour

Canada is really nice. Better than I thought. Overall, we like the tour. And satisfied our guide Max. He did a good job

We are sure we'll comeback for the tour again or ask my friends to join, really worth it. Thanks our lovely guide Max

We enjoy the tour, followed the guide Max is the best choice we made. No worries for anything at all

We're lucky, everything is really smooth under Max's arrangement. Especially crossing the border. Nice travel with you

We are the group with elderly, but Max takes really good care of us. We recommend this tour, thanks

Max is our guide, really informative, and nice person. And we like the tour, thank you

Me and my husband joined the tour, the guide Max is really nice, and his advice for crossing the border is really professional, that makes everything really smooth

This is very organized tour, I went with family, we really enjoyed, kids ware having fun time. My tour guide was Max, he is very friendly and explained very well, he has very good understanding of the places. Hotels are not that good, but it is ok for few days, I recommend this tour for others too.

My father and I went on this tour last week our bus driver was Edgar and tour guide Aaron. Both great fun, Aaron was very helpful and did a good job keeping everyone on time and was very friendly. The tour was great we saw so much in only 4 days, definitely worth it. Accommodation was average-good as expected on a coach tour. I have recommended this tour to my other family members as for the price it is great fun

I recently returned from my tour....my tour guide was VIVIAN and bus driver was LEE... they both get five stars.... I enjoyed my tour....and i would do it again. must shout out to john from thundering waters live show..... all the attractions was great hotels were comfortable.... all in all this tour was great....im touring again in June!!!

This tour was amazing! Had a great time! Max was a great tour guide. He explained so good and lots of fun. I will recommend this tour with Max as a tour guide

I highly recommend this trip to anyone but maybe not in the winter. Boris, our tour guide was amazing - a friendly, informative, nice guy. I am so happy he was our tour guide and I plan on taking a trip with him as a tour guide in the future! Being a tour guide is not easy especially in below freezing temperatures! My boyfriend and I loved this tour! We got to see so many great sights. Our driver, Stanley was also really great. He drove us all over Canada through all the hours of the day. It was a great experience to go around the holidays. The lights were so nice and there were so many photo opportunities although it was freezing. I don't know how Boris walked around with us for hours in the cold while talking about the different landmarks. I liked that we saw Niagara Falls at night and during the day - it looks totally different. I enjoyed the French restaurant in Montreal too - the service was quick and gave us the chance to walk around Montreal. I created a video of our trip https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bf7WFXNrhns&feature=youtu.be . Such a great trip with a great tour guide & driver!!! :)

I recently went on the 4 Day Niagara Falls Tour. Our tour guide Wendy was great, friendly, accommodating and helpful. Our driver Jo Lin was also great.

I took the 4 Day Niagara Falls, Toronto, Montreal Tour from New York tour Aug 8-12, 2016 with my 20 year old twins and 9 year old. I did a lot of research prior to booking and although I was a little apprehensive given all of the negative reviews I read, I felt I knew exactly what to expect and was determined to make the best of it. However, I’m happy to say, this trip exceeded our expectations! Our original plan was to drive the exact route but, besides the unbeatable price (one of us went for free as it was Buy 2 Get 1 free), I decided the drive was just going to be too much and booked the tour instead. Boy am I glad I did! There is no way we would have done half of the things we did had I driven instead. Our tour was organized by L&L Travel- a Chinese company. Of the 51 passengers on our bus, I am pretty sure we were the only non-Asian people on the bus but it was really not an issue for us. Tom announced everything in easy-to-understand English first and then translated to Chinese. I am not sure if it was a cultural thing or perhaps just the language barrier, but some of the other passengers did come across a little rude at times. Our bus did not have wi-fi or charging stations (it was too old) but we were prepared with chargers and movies to watch. We also brought small pillows and blankets which were able to leave on the bus in our assigned seats whenever we got off. Our bus did have a bathroom but we were asked not to use it except for an emergency which was appreciated by all given that the waste has nowhere to go and would remain on the bus. This was not a problem for anyone as we stopped every two hours for a bathroom break when driving for long stretches. Our tour guide was Tom and he was GREAT! He was very organized and everything was planned and timed perfectly. He was great at keeping us informed about what to expect, where to go and when to be back. Luckily we had a good group on our bus who stuck to the schedule because I could see how being late could throw off an entire day. Our bus driver was Pablo. He was also fantastic. Tom and Pablo worked great together and I couldn’t have asked for a better team. We were lucky enough to get to sit by Tom and Pablo on the bus so we got to get to know both of them over the four day trip and ask questions whenever we had them. Tom called the night before our tour to confirm and ask about our travel documents. He also provided some fun facts about things we drove by along the way. As for money, I did not bring or exchange for CAN$ but in retrospect I probably should have. Most places took my VISA card which automatically does the exchange with no fee (some do charge a fee so check with your issuer first), but there were several instances where I had to use cash and although they took US$ they did not take it at the exchange rate, nor did they give me change in US$, so I ended up paying more than I should have. Although we could have walked, we opted to take a taxi from our hotel to see Niagara Falls in Canada at night- it was a long day with a lot of walking and we had to be up early. We also took a taxi while we were in Chinatown as we didn’t eat with the tour (based on the reviews). We ended up walking pretty far from the drop off and ate at a place with semi-slow service so we took a taxi back so we weren’t late getting back to the bus. We also ate at a few places that didn’t or wouldn’t take my VISA card. The first motel we stayed at was the Universal Inn just outside of Niagara Falls ON. It was a little run down and there were stains on the rug, but the wifi worked, the TV worked and the beds were comfortable. The second night we stayed at Quality Hotel in Toronto. The beds were comfortable but our room was all the way in a corner so the wifi didn’t really work. It worked fine in the lobby though, so we used it there. The last night we stayed at a Comfort Inn in Laval QC which was changed from the Sandman Hotel in Longueuil QC: the wifi worked and beds were very comfy. The first morning we had to be at the bus at 7:45, but the second morning we needed to be on the bus by 5:30 in order to drive the 2+ hours to Thousand Islands for the breakfast cruise. The last morning we had to be on the bus at 6am because the change in our hotel put us 45 minutes further away. Getting up so early wasn’t fun, but being able to nap on the bus and getting to see so much in 4 days made it well worth it. Customs was a breeze for us. On the way in we got off of the bus and walked through. On the way home we stayed on the bus and an agent came on and collected our travel documents. About 15 minutes later he brought them back and we were done. The weather cooperated for us. It was a little warm but the only rain we had was on the ride home and it was overcast on our breakfast cruise. The attractions we paid for were: Watkins Glen State Park, Hornblower Niagara Cruise, Skylon Revolving Restaurant Lunch, CN Tower, and Thousand Islands Cruise Breakfast. I recommend them all. The only one I wish we would have done was Ausable Chasm but it wasn’t listed on the itinerary (either was the French dinner in Montreal) so I didn’t really know what is was until we got there. If I had to mention any criticisms it would be the lack of options in Montreal. Olympic Stadium was disappointing and there wasn’t much around to do instead. But there was a café, a cute little interactive animal attraction that my 9 year old enjoyed and there was wifi for my 20 year olds, so no one really complained. Although The Thousand Island boat tour was one of the highlights for me, the breakfast they served was not very good but I would still recommend it for the experience. (The coffee was great though!) The CN Tower was also a little disappointing compared to the Skylon Tower but I would still recommend it. The glass floor was fun- terrifying, but fun! Regarding complaints I’ve read in several other reviews: Hidden Fees/Service fee $8 per day per person: I had no problems understanding this was expected when I booked our tour and thus found no hidden fees or unexpected charges. I also don’t think it is too much to ask. But then again, my tour guide and driver were fantastic so I didn’t have a problem with it. I also gave them both an additional tip when the tour was over. Having to pay additional for attractions: I don’t understand how people would think that the small amount we paid would include so much. Yes, it adds up to quite a bit more but you do not have to participate in everything. We were in no way forced or shamed into buying any attractions, let alone all of them. Watkins Glen is free to enter but we were charged $10 each: people need to understand that this company is in business to make money, not break even! They could have brought us somewhere else that does charge us to get in but Watkins Glen is not something you’d want to miss. It takes a lot of work to organize these tours. Finding the best hotel deals, timing the attractions to avoid the lines, training the tour guides, hiring buses, dealing with the unexpected and much more that we don’t even know about are all part of a service we are paying for. Just the fact that they had us start at the top of the gorge and walk down 832 steps rather than walk up was well worth that $10 to me! All in all, we really had a great time and we are all glad we went.

The first morning we had to be at the bus at 7:45am, but the second morning we needed to be on the bus by 5:30am in order to drive the 2+ hours to Thousand Islands for the breakfast cruise. The last morning we had to be on the bus at 6am because the change in our hotel put us 45 minutes further away. Getting up so early wasn't fun but being able to nap on the bus and getting to see so much in 4 days made it well worth it. Customs was a breeze for us. On the way in we got off of the bus and walked through. On the way home we stayed on the bus and an agent came on and collected our travel documents. About 15 minutes later he brought them back and we were done. The weather cooperated for us. It was a little warm but the only rain we had was on the ride home and it was overcast on our breakfast cruise. The attractions we paid for were: Watkins Glen State Park, Hornblower Niagara Cruise, Skylon Revolving Restaurant Lunch, CN Tower, and Thousand Islands Cruise Breakfast. I recommend them all. The only one I wish we would have done was Ausable Chasm but it was not listed on the itinerary I printed out (either was the French dinner in Montreal)so I didn't know what it was about until we got there. If I had to mention any criticisms it would be the lack of options in Montreal. Olympic Stadium was disappointing and there wasn't much around to do instead. But there was a cafe, a cute little interactive animal attraction that my 9 year old enjoyed and there was wifi for my 20 year olds, so no one really complained. Although The Thousand Island boat tour was one of the highlights for me, the breakfast they served was not very good but I would still recommend it for the experience. (The coffee was great though!) The CN Tower was also a little disappointing after the Skylon Tower. Regarding complaints I've read in several other reviews: Hidden Fees/Service fee $8 per day per person: I had no problems understanding this was expected when I booked our tour and thus found no hidden fees or unexpected charges. I also don't think it is too much to ask. But then again, my tour guide and driver were fantastic so I didn't have a problem with it. I also gave them both an additional tip when the tour was over. Having to pay additional for attractions: I don't understand how people would think that the small amount we paid would include so much. Yes, it adds up to quite a bit more but you do not have to participate in everything. We were in no way forced or shamed into buying any attractions, let alone all of the options. Watkins Glen is free to enter but we were charged $10 each: people need to understand that this company is in business to make money, not break even! They could have brought us somewhere else that does charge us to get in but Watkins Glen is not something you would want to miss. It takes a lot of work to organize these tours. Finding the best hotel deals, timing the attractions to avoid the lines, training the tour guides, hiring buses, dealing with the unexpected and much more we don't even know about are all part of a service we are paying for. Just the fact that they had us start at the top of the gorge and walk down 832 steps rather than walk up was well worth that $10 to me! All in all, we had a great time and we are all glad we didn't drive.

Great tour for the price! We loved our tour guide, Wendy. She kept us entertained and we truly enjoyed her and our other guests.

We enjoyed tour and our guide Faith was very helpful and knowledgeable for details about all places.

Hello Everyone, This was such an awesome trip. You get to see so many things and places in such a short amount of time. Our tour leader was Faith, she is awesome. She knows exactly how much time we needed at each attraction, where we can get good food to eat, what to eat. She was always there to help us. She was so patient and helpful. I wish I can have her on every tour. I am looking forward to booking more tours with TakeTours.

Out tour leader was Faith. She was really awesome. She did everything so perfectly. I would want her as my tour leader for all the tours. She knew exactly where to go and what to do. Helped us a lot with everything. She didn't let us waste out time. She gave details on what to see. Had an amazing tour with my brother. We got to see so many things at this short amount of time. Really worth the money. You don't really need Canadian money but you should in case some restaurant or stores takes US dollar as Canadian money so you end up paying more.

The weather was horrible this time. But it's good that we were guided by a really nice guy Max. Thanks to him, we still have a really organized and enjoyable tour.

I took this tour on 3/14/16, and we were really enjoyed the tour and had a lot fun. Our tour guide is Mai Zhang, a very young and profession tour guide. We loved the meals, the views and also our lovely tour guide!!!!!Recommend to take this tour!!

A recommended tour if you want a brief visit to Niagara Falls, Ottawa and Montreal. Tour guide Wendy Wen and bus driver Chris had done a wonderful job during our tour from 15 - 18 Feb 2016. Wendy had given her best and take good care for all her customers. As for extras cost on the 8 tour sites, it depends on your whims and fancy. I only take the lunch at Skylon Tower and the French dinner in Montreal. It's nice!

Yinny was my tour guide and she was excellent. We enjoyed the tour a lot! I recommend the tour!

We took a 4-day Canada tour. It was wonderful. Our tour guide was Wendy. She was super friendly and very accommodating; however, there was a lack of communication. The tour was Chinese audience oriented and we had a small problem understanding. Also, the Thundering Water show and Niagara Falls IMAX were amateur and disappointing. I wish we could have filled that time with some other activities. Despite this, we had an awesome time and would recommend TakeTours to friends!

I was a single traveler to Canada in this tour. I was safe, and it was a good trip

This trip is made for when you want a short getaway. Of course there is a lot of traveling around and a lot on the itinerary. You will need to bring cash. Notes: Don't eat at any of the fancy buffets, they are not worth it. Also, the Skylon Tower food is bad, just go to observe it. Wendy was a great tour guide. Her singing was good and you'll love the way she wakes the bus up.

We really enjoyed the trip! With a professional driver, Ed, and a nice and super tour guide, Fay. It was our first trip with TakeTours. It was excellent

I recently went on the 4 day Niagara and Toronto trip. We had an excellent trip and would highly recommend it to anyone who has not seen Canada. I especially enjoyed the 1000 Island boat ride and the Grand Canyon. The tour guide "Faith" was excellent as was the bus driver.

I went with my daughter and wife. Itinerary was good. Tour guide was friendly but repeats every simple sentence 3,4 times in English and than 3,4 times in Chinese. We could not visit one New York's state parks due to rain, but the tour guide immediately refunded whoever purchased that option. Overall it was worth it. I'll take another tour if I get a couple of days vacation next year :-).

It was a great trip with a professional driver and nice tour guide. The itinerary was good, just no time to stay in the city. We really enjoyed as much as the money spent. Thank you, we'll book another tour for sure.

We really enjoyed this trip! It was the third one we had done with TakeTours. The tour guide, Faye, was super nice and knew a lot of details about our destinations. Josh, the bus driver also was very friendly and drove safely all the way. I really liked the Chinese dinner as well, because I had never eaten authentic Chinese food in the authentic Chinese way ;) Thank you, Faye, for always being patient and making this 4-day-trip a memorable experience! Carola & Jenny

Excellent tour for the kind of money we paid. Excellent tour guide, Ms. Faith. We had enough time to see all the attractions and eat. Hotels were very good except at Niagara Falls stay. I strongly recommend this tour.

My friend and I enjoyed the tour a lot. It was very fun, but was quite a rush too. The sightseeing locations were very interesting. The hotels were good given the price that we paid. The tour guide, Faith, is also very nice and helpful. She helped us with transportation and even currency exchange.

Our 4 days tour to Canada was awesome. Our tour guide (Lawrence) and driver (Matt) were fantastic. The trip was amazing, exciting and well organized. I was amazed of how much of Canada we got to see in 4 days. The attractions were good. Lunch on the revolving restaurant at Skylon Tower and breakfast on the boat on 1000 island. Great experience. Highly recommend this tour. Thanks!!!

I had such an amazing time. It was a birthday trip that I spent with 21 other people for 4 days. I was able to experience the multiple cities and experience all in 4 short days. The tours guide was able to translate everything in two different languages. Please be advises the the excursions are a package deal and work better by paying the one lump sum. If there is a list of sites just add up all the prices and add about $50 to it because the deal includes a few meals. I think the trip was amazing, exciting, and wonderful. Also remember there is a lot of walking too. Wear the right shoes!

The tour was great, it catered mostly to the Chinese population and as a result the only draw back I had was most of the food stops were Chinese. Attractions were good, hotels were good, and our tour guide Wendy was simple great. She knew everything inside and out, great job Wendy!

I was with 11 other New York City teachers on this 4-Day Canada Tour. We enjoyed it so much and our tour guide, Wendy, was very accommodating and helpful. The places were good. I will recommend this tour to my other friends.

The tour was good, the tour guide Dolkar was very nice with every one in the group. The only problem was in the bus, the door of the bathroom was locked so the driver had to stop every 2 or 3 hours to let the people use the bathroom of any store in the way.

The tour was good although there were itineraries that were cancelled because they were not opened yet. The tour guide Wendy is friendly and accommodating. I recommend this tour to friends. We had fun.

My family and I went on the 4 day trip to Canada. Friends told me that the Chinese is no good but to my better judgement I choose them anyway. The trip was well organized & the added expenses were good. We had a great crew and we were always on time. The sites visited will always be memorable. And,Faye the tour guide was fantastic. She has great knowledge of the history and places on the itinerary. Highly recommended

All I can say is that we were amazed and surprised after all the bad reviews we had read about chinese touring companies. the tour was really organized, accommodation was up to our expectations. all in all i highly recommend this tour .

I had a 4 days tour to Canada with my parents, fye was out tour guide and she was tacking care of everything , we have visited a lot places and we used every minutes our trip, I would consider to travel with you guys in future.

Very good experience, I went with my son and his wife. We visited all the places they advertised. Tour guide good friendly sometimes, of course they care more about Chinese people if you don't buy all the tickets to visit places they don't like it, even though is optional. we all enjoyed this trip.

We went on a 4 day trip to Canada, it was great even though we had an inconvinience it was well handled by the driver Juan and the tourist Sandy. Will definitely do it again. Will recommend to my friends. Thank you

The tour was good, points of interest well chosen. The bus driver George was nice. Tour guide Sandy was very professional, tried her best to please everyone esp. when the bus broke down. Despite an almost 6 hours wait to get another bus Sandy was able to take us to at least 2 itinerary for that day. She is a well qualified employee that stands for her company but at the same time take care of the tour group. We were able to go to all the areas except for Ausable chasm due to heavy rain. I applaud Sandy. Job well done. Tour was fun and very informative

The tour guide Sandy worked very hard to get problem resolved.She was able to deliver and was very concerned for her tour group. She had good knowledge of the points of interest and was good in alloting times for each one of them. The schedule was on time till we got to the 3rd day when our bus broke down! We had to wait for 3 hours to have the bus company send a replacement bus and that would have been acceptable (what can we do,?)but the replacement bus went to another part of New York so we ended up waiting for almost 3 hours more. We were tired,hungry and missed a perfect day to do our tour. By the time the bus came it was foggy, raining a little bit and we didnt have time to enjoy 1 place since it was dark, we are all tired and upset.Despite all these our tour guide Sandy was GREAT!

Amazing Tour!!! Our Guide, Steve, was a sweet heart and the driver was a real trooper, they both worked so hard to make our trip unforgettable and they succeeded!! I recommend this tour 1000 times, it was so great! I do not recommend you to go if you dont have at least 2 days to rest after you come home. I'm tired as HELL but soooo happy!!!! Thanks!!

Enjoyed the 3 day tour seeing Corning Glass, Niagara Falls, Toronto, 1000 Islands. Lunch in the revolving restaurant at Skylon tower and breakfast on the 1000 island cruise were great. Chinese restaurants had fantastic buffets. Accommodation was good. We were lucky to have fireworks when we arrived at Niagara Falls. I do not recommend IMAX. Tour guide was lovely. Thankyou for organising a great trip!

The tour was very good. I was concerned about traveling with young children but they also had a good time. The tour guide was great and very informative. We really enjoyed the tour and would travel with this company again.

We went for a four day tour to Canada and it was awesome.. I brought with me my 3 kids and they had a good time as well. They reversed our trip instead of Niagara first it went to Montreal which is ok. All in all we had a good time. Our tour guide is Wendy and bus driver Susan.They were a good team. I just wished that they have more better selections of restaurants stops because not all of us who travels are chinese.. They always have chinese buffet they should give us a chance to explore ohter restaurants specially in Chinatown Toronto. We were gonna walk around in Chinatown but we got stucked eating Chinese food because we already paid for it. But the food was really good in that restaurant I just wished that we were given time to explore more..But that's all. other than that it went well. The hotels are decent Except for the Montreal part when I used the hair dryer and the coffe maker at the same time the light in the whole room went out/tripped. But they fixed it right away.I will surely do more trips with this tour company. Thanks for the fun and the joy we shared together.

The tour was better than I expected. The tour guide spoke chinese mainly but I knew that so I was prepared. If you just want a sample of Canada for cheap then I would recommend this tour. The hotels were decent enough but nothing to write home about. Be prepared for all the fees like mandatory service fee plus all kinds of conversion fee and canadian tax, parking fee(yes parking fee!!) etc. My itinirary was reversed without notification and the bus was one hour late the date of pick up other than that it was pretty good.

I liked this tour very much. Prior to booking the tour I was concerned with how the bus ride would be. My advice is try to bring your own movies onto the bus. The bus ride was a lot easier than I thought it would be. The tour guide Wendy and the Driver Peter were very good and I was simply amazed at how much of Canada we got to see in only four days. The price is good and the service is very good. This was really a bargain and gave us memories that will last a lifetime. I highly recommend this tour and Gotobus.com

This tour was a lot of fun. my boyfriend and i had a great time. Our tour guide was really nice. but some people kept coming late. It was really a lot of fun overall. Visited great places.

The tour is excellent. the bus is very comfortable and has a dvd player. The tour guide Wang is good. He is helpful. he speaks English and Chinese. His English is serviceable. The hotels are exceptionable for the price. The bus always stops by Chinese restaurants but there are alternatives located close by. Overall it was worth it.

Faye was our tour guide, her sophisticated manner lead the tour traveling smoothly and timely. Since she had excellent fluency in languages she could introduce the attractions well. She managed the unexpected events very well. After the tour we did not miss any attractions on the itinerary. Thank you tn everyone on the bus, especially Faye and the driver Gorge.

This trip was one to never forget. There were nonstop activities throughout and the tour guide, Mei Mei, was delightful. I met get great friends on the tour and really had a great time! For the price, you just cant beat it. I plan to try the LA tour next ;-) Thank you GOTOBUS for the good times!

4 day tour to Canada was excellent. Guide (Faye) and Driver were very good. Hotels were an excellent value. Felt that the tour of Corning Glass was too rushed and could be omitted and use the time elsewhere.

We have recently returned from the 4 day Canada tour and we absolutely loved it. It was great value for money. The hotels we stayed in were of good quality and May, who was our tour guide was fantastic. She was very professional and informative and also good fun. Our driver was also excellent We would highly recomend this tour. Thanks for a great 4 days

I truly enjoyed this trip. Faye, our tour guide, was really knowledgeable about the different tourist attractions and was very patient. I would definitely recommend it to my friends.

All in all very good value for the price! Feedback to Tour Operator: I would skip Montreal as we only went to Olympic Stadium and 1 church but didn't see anything of the city. Or: Skip Olympic Stadium and do city tour instead. Allow more time in Ottawa (only 30min stop) Hotels were great (exc. bed bugs at Radisson Toronto) Guides (Sandy and May) were very friendly and very willing to keep everybody happy. Some people would have wanted more information on the attractions. Provide driver and guides with exact driving instructions. Lost our way and lost a little time. Give people time to experience attractions and cities on their own (for those who want). Despite the big group (51 passengers) it was a great experience! Thanks!

The tour to Canada was great! We did so much in four days and it wasn't tiring or too much driving at all. Things were very well spaced out. They managed to take us to most of the best attractions in a convenient way. Our hotels were all great too. Our tour guide, Angie was very patient and sweet and was always ready to help answer our questions and take care of whatever we needed. Gotobus.com is great and I have recommended it to a lot of people.

We came back last April 8,2010 from 4 days Canada tour with my husband and 3 boys and all enjoyed a lot. This is our 1st time to experience and we liked it specially we had good, friendly, understanding tourist guide Wendy Wen and her assistant and a excellent driver Marcus they very good. When I go to tour again we want to be with Wendy. We had nice hotel but my concern is the hotel we went in Montreal its nice but there is no water fountain or vending machine inside the hotel nor anybody in the reception area where to ask since my boys are hungry and thirsty in the middle of the night that we did not anticipate or else we should buy something before we check in other than that everything is great.

I would just like to say that my boyfriend, daughter and I just came back from the 4 day tour of Canada and we could not have asked for a better tour guide than Wendy Wen! She was absolutely informative, on point and very friendly. The driver Marcus was also great. We actually came into this trip with low expectations but we were blown away with the great customer service they provided. The only things I would definitely change are to have a variety of food choices, arrive at the hotel a little earlier and provide more rest time. But all in all, we enjoyed our trip. Thank you so much!!!
