On my winter visit, the first day was switched to the Corning Museum of Glass, and watching the live glassmaking demo was interesting. Still, without the gorge walk, the day felt a bit thin.

I had a 4 day trip to Washington DC, Niagara and Boston. Our tour guide Angie is very nice and patient with us. She managed and organized the tour very well. It was an amazing experience overall. I definitely recommend this tour to others. Probably we would have spent some more time in Philadelphia and Boston.

Chandler was our Tour Guide for this 3D2N Tour. He is an excellent guide, a joy to be with, considerate yet very responsible and well-respected. He knows so well what he is doing, giving us clear guidelines and instructions, which made our tour smooth and enjoyable. The driver was also friendly and on time for pickup. We went to several places as mentioned in the mandatory fee and did most of the optional tours, including the Watkins Glen Park, Congress Tour, and even the amazing Hot Air balloon, which we enjoyed so much. I highly recommend this 3D2N Tour to my family, friends, and anyone who loves US History and geography, nature lovers, and anyone who loves outdoor activities. I have been with Take Tours for almost 20 years now, bringing friends and families in groups. This is a good family and friends bonding, too.

I chose the Maid of the Mist, and getting close to the falls with all the mist around was a direct, memorable experience. For me, that was the most worthwhile part of the two days.

The night visit to Goat Island after arriving was a highlight. Seeing the falls lit up felt completely different from daytime. That part of the arrangement suited me well.

The afternoon at Watkins Glen was the part I enjoyed most, with the gorge and falls layered beautifully. There were a few transfers that day, so the pace felt a bit quick for me. I would have liked more time in one spot.

Great 2-day trip! Watkins Glen and Corning Museum were unexpected highlights. Niagara Falls with Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds was thrilling. Long bus ride but driver was steady and guide was funny. No forced add-ons. Only downside: hotel breakfast not included. Good value overall.
