Niagara Falls Full-Day Tour by Bus

  • 882 reviews | 12,960 travellers
    Arturo is an excellent guide. The long bus ride is tiring, but it's made easier by the stops for food and restrooms. We went in winter, and the falls were still beautiful. We took the tour halfway through our trip to New York, which helped us relax since you usually do a lot of walking on these kinds of trips, and this was a day with very little walking.

Niagara Falls Day Tour

At the designated time, we'll meet at the centrally located Times Square and, once everyone's together, leave New York behind and head toward the US-Canada border.

The journey to Niagara Falls takes between 7 and 8 hours, with a rest stop along the way. On board the bus, we'll enjoy the beautiful northern landscapes of North America.

On arrival, the sight of Niagara Falls will take your breath away. What is the geological origin of this natural phenomenon? How many cubic meters of water flow over each waterfall? Which films have been shot at this extraordinary location? From various viewpoints, we'll take in the breathtaking cascades while discovering all kinds of fascinating facts about the world's most famous waterfalls.

For an unbeatable perspective, we'll head to a viewpoint chosen based on the weather conditions on the day. We may visit Terrapin Point on Goat Island, which offers a unique view of Horseshoe Falls, the most impressive of the 3 waterfalls.

After taking in the spectacular Niagara Falls up close, you'll have free time for lunch. Refreshed and ready, we'll set off back to New York and arrive in the city at the end of the day.
