Great Niagara Falls Tour - I had a great experience visiting Niagara Falls with Royal City Tours NY. From start to finish, everything was well planned and easy, which made the trip very relaxing and enjoyable. The guide provided clear and interesting information about Niagara Falls and what to expect during the tour, which added to the overall experience. The driver was friendly, professional, and made the ride comfortable for everyone. The bus was clean and comfortable, and the entire trip stayed well organized and on time. Niagara Falls itself was absolutely stunning, and the whole experience was smooth and memorable . I would definitely recommend this tour to anyone looking for an enjoyable trip, and I would happily book with them again.

Mixed review - We attended the day trip on Monday 29th September and would review the trip separately ! The bus itself is very uncomfortable which did make the journey difficult and at sometimes unpleasant, but once we arrived in Niagara it was incredible and our tour guide was amazing Brian, he was so funny, knowledgeable and catered to everyone’s needs and always checked in with everyone throughout the tour. Overall would recommend it’s a once in a lifetime trip but a nicer bus would be nice ! Bus journey 3/10 Niagara tour 10/10

Great Experience...must visit! - Great Experience...must visit! Our tour guide Bryan was funny & knowledgeable. The bus driver was humble and helpful. Only downside was that bus was old and there were no windows so there was a time when i felt a little suffocated apart from that eveything in this tour was good and well coordinated

Overall - enjoyed the... - Overall - enjoyed the tour and so glad I went. Bus drivers were courteous and professional and I appreciated that they stopped about every 2 hours. The food choices on the drive are not great (fast food/convenience store). Brian - the tour guide - was absolutely awesome and he gave a great walking tour of the falls. The Maid of the Mist boat tour was absolutely incredible. The fireworks were a nice way to end the evening. However, the bus ride was brutal especially on the way back as you are tired and trying to sleep and it’s difficult. While the bus is adequate, it rides rough and the seats are not great especially after several hours. They are definitely not conducive to sleep. Would I do this tour again? Probably not unless I knew the accommodations were better. But it was a good value for my first time to the falls and I’m glad I made the time while I was in NYC. I would recommend if you have never been and have the time (it’s about 24 hours total). Just be prepared for a possible lack of sleep and schedule a massage the next day!

Enjoyed it. Hard on the body if you're over 50. Lol - It'll never be 'excellent' rated just because of the long commute there and back but it sure was very good. The drivers were great and Bryan was very knowledgeable and entertaining. Nelson one of our drivers was great. Friendly and really engaged with us. There were enough breaks in the journey to go to the bathroom and grab a bite and to allow the drivers to rotate, but every time you stop it adds time to each ride. One last thing about the bus, it's relatively comfortable. There is no wifi and you'll need a USB-A adaptor if your cord is USB-C to charge your device. Plus, you'll need a long cord. 1m or longer. The USB ports are above your head your head in the ceiling and if your cord is short you'll be stuck holding it while it's plugged in. As for Niagra, it's a rush. There's lots of walking, some free time after the tour and before the fireworks at 10pm. Must do the Maid of the Mist. Recommend doing Cabe of the Winds. You will get wet! Overall I'd do it again but maybe over two day as it's such a tough long haul drive there and back inside 24hours.

Everything was fine when... - Everything was fine when we got there. We left one of the drivers said they were not going to say anything so we can all sleep. They stopped every two hrs to go to the restroom. Getting to Niagara Falls was fine. On the way back one of the drivers drove reckless the other drove too slow and never said a word to anyone. The fast driver put on a movie which was great but after it was done he did not put on another one. He did not stop to go to the restroom. The quiet driver stop at a rest stop to change drivers but they never asked if we wanted to get off. He drove all the way to the city. The Seats were uncomfortable you would slip off when the driver stopped quickly.

Terrible trip - Unfortunately, the journey was disastrous. After two hours of travel, the driver announced that the bus had broken down and that we were returning to New York. After a few minutes, he said we would continue, but at a much slower pace. We finally arrived in Niagara Falls with a two-hour delay. Everything was fine once we arrived and the journey went smoothly. The bus was generally old, the seats were faulty, and the sound system was terrible.
