The tour description mentions that Chinese is available as an alternative language on request. Could you please clarify how this works? Specifically: 1. Is there a guaranteed live, bilingual Chinese/English speaking guide on the bus, or does it depend on the number of Chinese-speaking participants on that departure? 2. Alternatively, is the Chinese support provided via an audio guide/headset or printed translation materials? 3. How should I request a Chinese guide when making a booking? Is there a specific option to select, or should I simply leave a note in the booking comments?

A Chinese-speaking guide is not available for your requested date. You are more than welcome to join the tour in English if that works for your group.

I'm looking forward to the upcoming trip! I noticed on the website that the current baggage policy is limited to one bag per person. We find ourselves with some extra luggage for this journey and were wondering if there are any options to accommodate these additional bags? Whether it's an extra fee for the transport or a recommendation for a secure place to store them during the trip, we'd appreciate your guidance. Please let us know what the best way to handle this is.

Each guest is welcome to bring on board, a small and a large suitcase plus any personal items. There are no restrictions on weight and size.

A fantastic experience, absolutely worth trying. The trip was pleasantly broken up with stops at scenic spots and a large outlet for shopping. The hotel was excellent, and the waterfalls were beautiful. Redi, the guide, was also perfect, friendly, and full of information and anecdotes about the area. He was kind to those who arrived late and always made sure we were all there. Everything was truly excellent!Show more

The tour description mentions that Chinese is available as an alternative language on request. Could you please clarify how this works? Specifically: 1. Is there a guaranteed live, bilingual Chinese/English speaking guide on the bus, or does it depend on the number of Chinese-speaking participants on that departure? 2. Alternatively, is the Chinese support provided via an audio guide/headset or printed translation materials? 3. How should I request a Chinese guide when making a booking? Is there a specific option to select, or should I simply leave a note in the booking comments?

  Is there any possible itinerary for them to stay on the New York Side ONLY Not crossing over to Canada?
- Empire VacationsOperator•Written April 2024
  You will do exactly the same things, if you stay in the American side, you will watch Niagara falls from the American side; if you stay in Canada, you will watch the Falls from Canada. I really suggest you do the Canadian side because it is way nicer, and the view is way better.
