Is a Niagara Falls day tour worth it?
A day tour is worth it if you want one set plan, no driving or parking and you only have one day. It costs more than going alone by public transit, but it covers transport, timing and a guide. If you want a full day at one attraction, going alone suits you better. [verify costs]
