2-Day Niagara Falls Tour from New York/New Jersey: Corning Glass Museum and Watkins Glen State Park

100% An Excellent Trip

My family and I went on a two-day tour from New York City to the Niagara Falls on July 6-7 arranged through Tours4Fun Company, and enjoyed it thoroughly. We were given a time and place to assemble for pick-up that was very convenient for u..s, and the registration, boarding of the bus, etc. went flawlessly. Many buses were boarding for several destinations, but we were put on the right bus with a minimum of fuss and with courtesy and efficiency. In Chinatown in Manhattan we were transferred, again equally effortlessly and courteously, from or shuttle bus to the one that took us to the Niagara Falls. The bus was clean, comfortable, had a good, careful driver, and an excellent tour guide with the name of Jake Yang. Jake was wonderful. Though born in Burma, he spoke excellent English and Mandarin, knew how to treat each passenger courteously, attentively, and in a friendly, engaging manner, and was well organized so that all the announcements were clear, all the arrangements carefully explained, and all the details meticulously planned. In a very pleasant way, and without giving the impression of hurrying or hassling anyone, he had all of us stick to a tight schedule, so the trip and all our sight seeing went like clockwork while leaving us plenty of time to dawdle. A young man, he is also clearly a person of wide culture with a fund of information at his fingertips, not only about the sights we visited but about many other aspects of American history, culture, landscape, and even roads. Though our bus was equipped with GPS, Jake would occasionally advise the driver to take a different route, and always got us to our destinations in less time and through easier traffic. Quite remarkable! On the way to the Falls we stopped at Watkins Glen State Park for a scheduled hike, and again Jake was the leader. He had a remarkable knack for being, when needed, at the head of the hike or the rear, of speeding or retarding our movements as were necessary, and ensured that everyone remained safe even at a few tricky spots along the way and maintained good humor throughout. At the Niagara Falls arrangements for our overnight stay had been carefully planned. We got to the hotel and to our rooms, which were very clean and comfortable, and assembled the next morning for breakfast at an early hour, led by Jake. We boarded a separate bus from the one that had brought us there, and went to various sites—all very enjoyable—and finally for a ride on The Maid of the Mist, which is the highlight of the tour. Here again Jake had made all the arrangements and executed them flawlessly, so that all 50+ people who were on the trip had a marvelous experience, what I may, without exaggeration describe as a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The return trip was as pleasant as the outward one had been, and we arrived back in New York in very good time. A great time had been had by all. Everything had gone perfectly and according to plan. The slightest eventuality had been planned for. My family and I were very impressed by the company that organized the tour, and would recommend it whole-heartedly to everyone. And full marks to Jake Yang, our tour leader, for the marvelous work that he did! Read full review
