Went on 21 Dec, and turns out it was already snowing! I was so thrilled with the view -- way beyond my expectation. Additional ticket to Cave of the Winds is recommended, as we could see the falls so close. Arthur, the guide, is also kind & helpful.

The trip was tight, Niagara Falls was beautiful anyway, and the hull dried quickly when wet, unfortunately there was no time to enter Canada.

An unforgettable experience! Our guide was excellent, keeping us well-informed and engaged throughout the day. Though the bus journey was long, it was absolutely worth it once we arrived at Niagara Falls. The falls were breathtaking! We left the hotel at 4 AM, arrived at 11 AM, departed by 2:45 PM, and got back around 11 PM. A long day, but completely worth it for such a magnificent sight!
