Niagara Falls and boat cruise

It was a great experience, we had a wonderful driver my family enjoyed the stops as well as the Niagara Falls boat cruise. The only knock on today was it was so stifling, hot and humid that the bus AC was not sufficient and it made for an absolutely miserable hot long ride home.

Loved the trip and the cruise to the horseshoe falls. The Journey Behind the Falls option left much to be desired. Ralph was a fantastic tour guide and he added to the fun! The stop at the gift shop with the maple syrup and chocolate tastings were very enjoyable.
