Niagara Falls Travel Agent Specialist

Niagara Falls
Niagara Falls

Upstate or Western New York, including Niagara Falls, is as far from the urban setting of New York City, in terms of scenery, as California is from Maine. As your travel agent advisor for upstate New York and Niagara Falls, I can help you plan a trip that will take you to one of the most spectacular natural settings in the world. Here, the mighty Niagara Falls are surrounded by tulips in the spring and the blue of Lake Erie glows brilliantly in the summer. In the fall, oranges and yellows wash over the wooded slopes and snow majestically covers the fields in winter. Places, like Buffalo, exude a small-town atmosphere that makes travel to this destination both charming and appealing.. By far, Niagara Falls, which anchors the state's northwest quadrant and forms a boundary with Ontario, Canada, is the most well-known tourist destination in the area. The wonder of the falls is felt by almost everyone who sees them. With more than 750,000 gallons of water falling per second in the summer, Niagara Falls boasts the biggest volume of water of any cascade in the world. While the attraction does not represent the highest cascades, it does create a lot of hydroelectric energy. Sharing the Canadian border, Niagara Falls is a natural wonder - its water flowing into the Great Lake of Ontario from the other Great Lakes: Superior, Huron, MIchigan, and Erie. One of the places to see in Upstate New York is Buffalo, a boomtown in the late 1800s and early 1900s. Rich in electricity and steel, with well-maintained baronial homes during that period, the city now is home to attractions like the impressive Albright-Knox Art Museum and a collection of homes designed by the master architect, Frank Lloyd Wright. A region of hills, farms, fledgling vineyards, wineries, fish-filled lakes, and the enormous and wild Allegany State Park can be found down in Chautauqua and Cattaraugus counties. Here is where New York State hugs Lake Erie and borders Pennsylvania. Letchworth State Park, known as the "Grand Canyon of the East," is home to three sizable waterfalls along the Genesee River as well as cliff walls that reach approximately 600 feet in height. The park features more than 66 miles of hiking paths, as well as facilities for whitewater rafting, kayaking, seasonal hot air balloon tours, equestrian riding, and biking. A total drop of almost 350 feet makes Inspiration Falls the tallest plunging waterfall in the state. For a retro experience, visit the adjacent Perry attractions, Charcoal Corral and the Silver Lake Twin Drive-In Theater in the evening, or play a round of golf at the adjoining 18-hole mini-golf course. Weekend double features are regularly scheduled at the drive-in theater. For a historic excursion, consider a visit to the Sackets Harbor Battlefield site. Travel back in time to two pivotal battles that took place during the War of 1812. Living history reenactments, cannon and artillery displays, and other educational opportunities are all held at the location throughout the year. Families can also make a detour to Old McDonald's Farm, where guests may ride a pony, hand-feed dairy goats and beef cows, and take a tractor tour of the facility. Go to Goodfellos for brick oven pizza for dinner or brunch, or visit Tin Pan Galley. Drop in at Sackets Harbor Brewing Company and sample the 1812 Amber Ale before finishing your visit with an ice cream cone from Saturdays, Sundaes & More. I can also plan a trip for you to Allegany State Park, which is called the Enchanted Mountain region because of its picturesque landscape. You can hike or bike in the park, which features almost 6 miles of bike trails and 18 hiking paths for outdoor adventures and activities.The site is also home to the Salamanca Rail Museum, a restored train depot that dates back to the early twentieth century. If you like to horseback ride, plan a visit to the Crosspatch Stables, which features guided trail rides as well as chuckwagon dinners. The Seneca Allegany Resort and Casino is another popular place featuring table games, slots machines, and dining and entertainment options. Let me be your go-to travel agent advisor for your upstate New York and Niagara Falls travel adventure. As an expert in the field, I can plan a holiday that meets with your expectations personally and financially. Give me a call today so we can start making your travel plans now.

Catalina Island blew our minds!
Zac was great! A true gentlemen a and a master of his trade. He put his mind to work so we didn't have to. We wanted a semi-tropical vacation but didn't want Florida or the Caribbean again. SO, we ended up in Catalina Island, CA and it was PERFECT.

Visiting Family Across State
We took a short trip across the state to visit family. Our family didn't have room for the 6 of us (2 adults and 4 kids) so we contacted Zac to see what he could find for us. He is SO proficient in Michigan travels that he was able to get us into a very cozy hotel. Our family we were visiting weren't much for adventure but we are. Zac set us up with some tickets to Michigan's Adventure in Muskegon and that was a pretty good time!

Zac Samuels responded:
Michigan's Adventure is such a gem. It's a great place to spend time with family. I'm so happy I was able to reveal that information to you and thank you for trusting me to be your travel agent!
