The Experience

Before You Go

Meet-and-Greet Location

Look for your chauffeur holding a sign with your last name at the bottom of the baggage claim escalators to avoid delays.

Luggage Limits

Each traveler is allowed one suitcase and one carry-on; oversized items require prior approval from the operator.

Request Child Seats

If traveling with infants, request specialized child seats ahead of time; they’re available but must be booked.

Plan for Traffic & Border Delays

Allow extra time during rush hours, holidays, or if your itinerary crosses the nearby international border—traffic can add up to 30 minutes.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Old Falls Street for evening dining and quieter river views
  • Devil’s Hole State Park overlook for less-crowded gorge viewing

Wildlife

Conservation Note

The National Park and local agencies manage flows and visitor access to protect riparian habitats; minimizing idling during transfers helps reduce local emissions.

Niagara’s tourism boom began in the 19th century as steamships and rail made the falls accessible; hydropower development later reshaped the river’s flow and infrastructure.
