Easily one of the most incredible places to visit for a tour or vacation is Niagara Falls. It is easy to see why a Niagara Falls tour is a top destination for millions of people each year. If you’re like me and travelling with your family, then getting the best possible vacation for the least amount of money is at the top of your list. Here are a few tips on how to travel cheaper to this natural wonder of North America.

The biggest money-saving tip I’ve found is to look for package deals when planning your Niagara Falls tour vacation. When you book your hotel and tour separately, you’ll often find yourself paying twice and sometimes three times as much as you would if you booked them through a tour provider.

When booking your flight, try to schedule your trip on a weekday. Flying during the week, and on a Tuesday in particular, will save you a ton of money. Plus, planes will be a lot less crowded and you won’t have to deal with someone else’s child screaming in your ears! This will allow you to arrive relaxed and be able to more fully enjoy your Niagara Falls Tour.

On a budget, stay on the American side. Hotel rates are usually cheaper on this side than on the Canadian side. You will still find plenty to do and see, and you will save a few dollars at the less expensive hotels.

How to travel cheap as far as meals? Try to find local cafes and diners for your breakfast and lunch, and if you have money leftover then go ahead and splurge for dinner. Also, talk to your Niagara Falls Tour guide because he’s a local and will know all the great places to go for a good budget meal.

Purchase a Niagara USA Discovery Pass which includes The Cave of the Winds, The Maid of the Mist, Niagara Adventure Theater, Gorge Discovery Center, Aquarium of Niagara, and Scenic Trolley. In addition, you will also receive discount coupons to regional attractions including Top of the Falls Restaurant, Old Fort, Artpark, Frank Lloyd Wright, Erie Canal Cruises, the wax museum, and fashion outlets.

The biggest tip is to look for discount and money-saving coupons on the internet. Once you’ve got your Niagara Falls Tour schedule together and know where you’re going, do a quick search online to see what kind of additional deals you can find for food, events and even free gifts. There is a ton of great stuff online to help enhance your trip.

A Niagara Falls Tour can be the most spectacular trip of your life…but that doesn’t mean you have to pay full price for it!
