Niagara Falls Bus & Tourism Information

The company We Care Transportation is no longer in service (sorry).

The best way to get up to the falls is by cab.  You can experience the falls on both the American side and the Canadian side.  Both offer different experiences. 

Another hint:  please do not joke around with the customs officials.  If you are passing through in a car, they have the right to search your car and possibly impound it and/or not let you pass through altogether.  They take their job very seriously in this day & age.

Please let us know if you have any difficulties in obtaining transportation to see the falls.
