Traveler•Written April 2024Is 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.
