For winter special schedule(Nov - Mar), if time is availiable we will go to the Old Fort Niagara(optional), located at the mouth of the Niagara River. Be sure to catch the short guided tour that explains a lot in a short time. The fact that the old French Castle from 1726 is still standing today is amazing. The history and importance of this fort is a compelling reason to preserve it and the artifacts in the museum were spectacular. If you're a history buff or just like tours of this kind you have to see this.

We will tour the Olympic Tower, part of the Olympic Park built for the 1976 Games, featuring a 30 degree incline as the tower rises! We will also pay a visit to two major churches in the area. The Notre-Dame Basilica, similar to its counterpart in Paris, has a wealth of exquisite detail, most of it carved from rare woods that have been delicately gilded and painted. It also houses le Gros Bourdon, is the largest bell on the continent. The second church on our itinerary is St. Joseph's Oratory, a major site of Roman Catholic pilgrimage and worship. The dome is the world's second largest, after St. Peter's in Rome, and religious pilgrims sometimes climb the steps in the middle, praying at every step. For the winter months (Nov - Apr), the tour will take us to Howe Caverns in Upstate NY. Here, our journey will wind us through limestone corridors, cavernous galleries, and under massive boulders to a subterranean riverbed carved over countless millennia. Deep in the cave, solid rock appears fluid: creating strange formations, flowing sheets and dripping stalactites. Mysterious grottos lead off into distant, unexplored passages path twists and turns ever downward to the glassy surface of an underground lake that trails off into the absolute darkness of the cave's Eastern Terminus.
