Private Niagara Falls Day Trip from NYC with Chauffeur, Night or Morning Departure
Ratings collected by Viator and Tripadvisor
New York CityA private vehicle with a personal chauffeur and tour coordinator takes one party from New York City to Niagara Falls by land, on a day built around the group's own needs. There are two departure choices. A late-night start at around 11:30 pm reaches the falls early in the morning, in time for the mist rainbows and the sound of the water, and the tour ends at around 10:00 pm the next day. A morning start at around 7:00 am lets the group see the falls from day into night, including the evening light show and, when one is held, fireworks above the falls, and ends at around 5:00 am the next day. At the falls the stops are Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the United States, with the Prospect Point Observation Tower, the American Rapids, Green Island, Goat Island, Luna Island, Terrapin Point and the Nikola Tesla monument. The Maid of the Mist and the Cave of the Winds are attractions on the American side, the Rainbow Bridge links the US with Canada, and Old Falls Street leads from downtown to the park entrance. Bring a camera.
