Hey Reader,

Planning a trip to Niagara Falls? You might be about to make the same mistakes we did on our first visit.

Spoiler alert: We did almost everything wrong πŸ€¦β€β™€οΈ

After learning the hard way (and then going back to do it right), I put together a guide covering the 4 biggest Niagara Falls mistakes to avoid - plus exactly what to do instead.

Inside, you'll discover:

  • Which side of the falls has the complete view (hint: it's not the obvious one)
  • The secret to actually getting a room with a view even during busy season
  • The hidden transportation option that saves you from huffing up steep hills

Whether you're planning your first visit or your fifth, these tips will help you have an incredible experience.

Happy travels,

Melissa
