Niagara short jaunts on the 250 years celebration 4th of July

It was our first time to book in this website and clueless how is the trip will go in 2 days going to Niagara. First, I encounter to change my location of pick up at midnight hour and they were able to change it right away, pick up time was superb no delay, the tourist guide was responsive and give a clear instruction, he has great humor and fast to handle situation. Big group of different race mostly from Asia yet Mason-our tour guide, took responsibility of all the situations occured during our tour in the group but overall he was awesome and did a good job. Admission fee was a fair enough just to avoid on the lines, atmosphere is big group thats a bit hard to handle, downside only is a little bit tricky and puzzled of his chinese english but kinda sense what he meant. Over all was great and highly recommend Mason and deserve a great appreciation.

Great trip but!!!!@

I had a lot of fun ! Our tour guide peng was amazing . However, the hotel room that supposed to be ans upgrade and it was much more expensive big disappointment the view was to a horrible parking lot not to the falls and the hotel was dirty and smelly. My room was good thought. Disappointment in that way . The rest was very nice a little too fast but we saw a lot.
