Lunch was ok, not brilliant, but the organisation and information provided by the rep on the bus was first rate. Obviously very knowledgeable but not pushy as some reps are....a credit to the company by making the right comments at the right time. Information on the boat trip and what to expect was spot on especially the advance notice of where to stand.
Had a great day exploring Niagara Falls and surrounding areas. Both Alex and the driver were great! Niagara Falls boat ride is a great experience that you have to do (you do get very wet) and the view from lunch was stunning. The final stop at Niagara on the lake was maybe a little on short side, wonderful place but not much time to stop and take it in at its full potential All in all a great day trip we would recommend anyone to take!
