Our guide Daniel lei did a great job!
He took care of the whole trip for everybody. By arranging the whole trip with reasonable and suitable traveling plan along with detailed duo language introduction towards all sights, travelers from all countries are all satisfied. Even though we encountered unexpected weather conditions, the guide still maximized what we can experience in the town and walk us through the sights well.
Great thanks to the driver too. He did a great job over our 4 day trip with an average of 10hours smooth drive per day.
The sights are also very delightful. I like the Niagara Falls the best among all the places we visited since the fall is my primary goal for our family trip. We had mostly buffet along the trip which gave us sufficient choices for food—not expansive as well.
Looking forward to booking another trip with this company in the near future!
