Top New York Bus Tours

We did the Five Boroughs tour of contrasts without Coney Island and did this on the first day of arriving. This gave us a good idea of places we should visit for rest of our trip and where we should focus time as there is so much to see and do. We also got to relax after the jet lag! The tour gave us access to places we would have never normally visited. Stalina and Oscar were great guides and Stalina really was passionate about her city. There were stops to sample authentic areas and taste food we wouldn’t have considered. We ended at Dumbo where we had great food (after recommendations by Stalina) and then walked across Brooklyn Bridge where after recommendations by Stalina we walked across to the memorial parks. This was a great tour and a great way to start our trip to NYC.

Fantastic way to see Lower Manhattan and get a great idea of what there is to offer! We saw lower end of Central Park, stopped at Rockefeller Center, saw the Today Show being recorded, got a great history lessons re so much in the city, saw WallStreet and the Bull, a brief stop at 9/11 pools, got to go on the Staten Island ferry, went by Statue of Liberty, Korean town, China town, little Italy, saw Canal Street, Empire State Bldg and so much more! Totally worth the money and time - our tour guide was great!

Niagara Falls Viator Tour review A well-organized very informative "experience" tour! Our tour guide, Randy, picked us up in a tour bus from our hotel and took us to numerous destinations at and nearby the falls. First was "Maid of the Mist," a boat ride by the American Falls to the heavily-misted area close to Horseshoe Falls. Get ready to get wet! Then we went to the "Cave of the Winds" which was a series of platforms (accessible by many stair steps) alongside the south end (right side when facing the falls, the section known as Bridal Veil Falls) where we were within a few feet of the falls at various levels. Reach out your arm and feel some of the spray from the falls! The “Hurricane Deck” was the best part because it was as close as it could be to the falls without being directly under them. There were plenty of times when a surge in the falls brought the water right onto the closest end of the deck, and you could feel some of the power of the falls as you get completely soaked by areas not covered by the poncho (from my knees down, hands and forearms, and face). I never knew one could get so close to the falls! This experience was better than Maid of the Mist. Randy then drove us to The Hungry Moose Food Court for lunch (not hosted) by the White Water Walk (class 6 rapids) and whirlpool area of the Niagara River. After that, we went to the Horseshoe Falls overlook area (by the Table Rock Restaurant), and finally to the Skylon Tower for views of both falls at the 175-ft level of the tower. Quite a day! About 5 hours total, beautiful views of the falls from lookout points and up close, and GREAT narration by Randy during the bus rides. Full of interesting stories, history, and tidbits. We would highly recommend this Viator tour by Randy for a memorable Niagara Falls experience!!
