“I really enjoyed this trip, the boat tour maid of the mist was amazing, the guide Alicia was very nice , two drivers Robert and the other driver (I forgot his name), they drove us safely. Only thing I want to mention that I did not like about is there is only one place to eat, there should be one or two more food place there.

The bus has a restroom at the back, but there was no sanitizer so take it with you…”
