Our guide Alicia was amazing!! This was a highlight of our trip to Canada and I would definitely recommend this tour to a friend. I was blown away with this experience, and it was just as described in the description!
My guide Kingsley was very knowledgeable about the falls, sharing fascinating facts throughout. Skipping the lines made the experience even better and more enjoyable from start to finish.
I had such an amazing time on this tour! Our guide, Alora, was really friendly, knowledgeable and organised. It was great to hear some stories about the history of the falls as we walked around. The experiences themselves were incredible. It was great to get so close to the falls and to see them from such unique angles. Worth noting - if you go on the boat ride you WILL get soaked, even wearing the poncho! Definitely still worth it but plan your outfit accordingly!!
John was an incredible tour guide. He was fun, energetic, and informative, making our trip to the falls truly special. We highly recommend him and were delighted to be a part of his first-ever tour!
The tour was well organised, and our guide was very informative, she showed us around the Niagara Falls area and shared some interesting local stories with us. I am really glad that we've chosen this trip with Headout. Will consider booking some other tours with Headout in the future.
Tour was amazing and as advertised. Was worth every penny. Our tour guide was awesome and even waited for us after we got stuck in the worst traffic ever. Highly recommend
The tour guide was really great and knew lots of information 10/10 😀😀😀
Alora our tour guide was great! Behind the falls was awesome!
Ryan, our guide was very personable and informative. The tour was great. Definitely would recommend it!
Amazing time visiting one of the natural wonders of the world!
First time in Canada and the tou team mde even more incredible. Our guide, Ashton form Tripsheper was super knoledgable and great. Did no rush us and took the time to make this trip even better
Our guide Li Dai was brilliant. She was very well organized and even torrential rain (the group bought rain ponchos to continue) couldn't dampen her spirit.
From the word go Alora was so engaging and full of energy, when we walked around she made sure the whole group enjoyed it at their own pace. Really knowledgeable about the area and history of the Niagara Falls, gave great recommendations for after the tour and nothing was to much trouble for her. Any group being show around by Alora is in for the best value tour which has been the highlight of our trip to Canada.
Our giude Paul was very informative and personable. We appreciated his tips on how to make the most of our vist. we loved exploring the falls and the boat trip was a bucket list item. Thank you for making it a great trip
Our tour guide, Ashton, was friendly and knowledgeable. We liked that we were able to go in express lanes for the attractions. Journey behind the fall and the boat tour into the falls were awesome. You will get wet! On a hot day it felt great.
The activities planned were exactly what we wanted with a great tour guide, and being able to skip th lines was the best!!
Joe was an amazing tour guide! He made sure our questions were answered, he provided us a lot of information about Niagara Falls and the local area and kept it a good pace for everyone in the tour. My one suggestion is at the end of the tour, you provide transportation back to the starting point for the money that was spent or offer it as an option.
It was spectacular!!! Got very wet! Enjoyed it overall but a lot of walking I didn't like journey behind the falls though too long very crowded and I think just the boat ride is enough
Our guide was great, but it was hard to hear him. Maybe guides should have portable microphone/speakers so it's easier to understand them? We also felt rushed. Most of our party had mobility issues (one in a wheelchair), so it was hard to keep up/we kept falling behind. There's no mention as to how strenuous it is to walk between attractions (it was exhausting). Maybe Headout could consider ADA friendly tours that have dedicated shuttles to get people with disabilities and their parties to each attraction. Even if this is not something scheduled that can be booked, it could be listed as being "by request".
Alisha! Our tour guide made the whole experience. She's very knowledgeable, made everyone feel part of the group. Alisha and her daughter made us all part of it! She kept us informed, enjoying the whole experience.
Melanie did a fantastic job giving direction as well as educating the group about Niagara Falls facts. She made a 18 individuals really feel like a group. I would highly recommend the tour to others.
Alisha was one of a kind. The way she interacted with everyone and her knowledge was outstanding. Thank you so much Alisha.
It was super well organized and our guide Kingsley was extremely nice and told us super interesting facts and gave us invaluable tips.
Li was awesome, informative and courteous. She shared she was newer but she seemed experienced and very helpful to us. Great job Li
We were very pleased to have Ashton as our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable, energetic and a delight to have as our tour guide!

The best day - with temperatures being 100 - this was the best thing we did. The tour from booking to pick up at the front door of our hotel to a very comfortable cool transportation was perfect. Cannot say enough about our tour guide who was very knowledgeable & accommodating. Most sites we visited were fast passed skipped those long lines. Can't say enough - thank you all -

It was super well organized and our guide Kingsley was extremely nice and told us super interesting facts and gave us invaluable tips.
Really nice experience, we had an amazing time with Alisha! Always smiling and thoughtful, there is not a question that she couldn't answer. Great tips also!
Alisha was lovely, friendly and informative. Providing clear instructions for each event on the tour. We loved the ability to take our own time at each event and meet back with the group to walk to the next event.
The boat ride into the falls was the highlight. Ticketing was very easy and smooth. Our tour guide was exceptional, very knowledgeable and a lot of fun. The trip down to the cave and up the tower gave us new and different perspectives of the falls.
Amazing Niagara Falls Tour! I had an incredible experience on the Niagara Falls tour, and I can't recommend it enough. The highlight of the trip was definitely the horn blower cruise and also our tour guide, Afsheen. He was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Niagara Falls. His enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable and engaging. The tours themselves were well-organized and truly spectacular. From getting up close to the falls to exploring the surrounding attractions, every moment was memorable. Afsheen ensured we had ample time to take in the breathtaking views and capture plenty of photos. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, made all the more special by Afsheen’s excellent guidance. If you're planning a trip to Niagara Falls, I highly recommend booking this tour!
We loved everything! Although we didn't get to ride the boat due to weather conditions, my family and I still enjoyed our time. We had a great experience thanks to our tour guide, Shuresh who was very accommodating and flexible. He had great attention to detail and was incredibly helpful. Great experience overall!
Hedi picked us up at the hotel. She was great! very informative, Excellent driver. We had a great time, she gave good advise for the boat, allowed plenty of time to roam around. Will definitely book with them again when we return.
Rydder was an awesome tour guide!
Loved our tour guide. He was great.
Awesome attractions- incredible power of nature. Wonderful helpful tour guide/driver.
The guide was great. But too much walking for seniors.
Knowledgeable guide. No ticket hassle. No waiting in lines. Great experience.

It was simply amazing. I would have never thought how much I enjoyed this experience. The walking tour, although brief was nice. Giovanni was an excellent guide!
Our guide Julia was great and provided relevant information along the way to the boat. The experience on the cruise was awesome. We loved it.
Julia our guide was great. The walking tour was short but ended with a beautiful garden and a boat ride on Niagra - the hornblower cruise into the mist of horseshoe falls. We got a little wet but the experience was fantastic
Our tour guide was great. Knowledgeable, great listener, easy to make a connection with. Great tips. We had a pleasurable tour with him!
The tour guide was awesome. He made it so easy and was very helpful.
Our guide, Julia, was very nice and helpful.
Our tour guide Jovani was wonderful. We learned so much about the area that we would've never known otherwise.
Tour was supposed to be 2 hours with a guide and end at table rock. In total (with the hornblower cruise!) it was 55 minutes. There was not much "guidance" and totally overpriced for someone to show us a couple of things and guide you to the cruise. It ended immediately after the boat ride. The mentioned discounts for the souvenir shops did not apply! I wouls not recommend this to anyone as it makes more sense to buy the boat ride directly there and save a lot of money. Would appreciate a partial refund as this was definitely not what was advertised.
There was really nothing to love. Since I primarily bought the ticket for the Hornblower Cruise, my husband and I went straight to the place that said Niagara City Cruises. I showed my ticket to the man at the entrance and asked if we were at the right place. He said yes. So we proceeded on and on and on. When they finally scanned the ticket, right before boarding, they said that we were NOT in the right place, and that we should be on a tour instead. Of course, by that time, it was way past our ticketed time. They would not honor my ticket, even though it clearly stated that it included a Hornblower Cruise. We ended up spending the money to buy two more tickets. Clearly, it was a very frustrating and disappointing experience.

It was a wonderful experience — an outstanding tourism offering at an excellent price for the quality of services provided. I would absolutely recommend it 100%, without hesitation.
Everything was super easy and well organized. The tour guide was lovely and expleained it all in details plus amazing histories and facas. The boat tour is once in a ligetime experience.
We elected to go for the 'behind the falls' + the tower+a boat trip. We really enjoyed the trip overall - if we had a citicism it would be that the first part of the tour (behind the falls) felt rushed as we had only. 45 minutes to queue,descend see the 3 viewing points quickly and queue again for the lift back up in order to get the coach to the tower. We would have preferred more time to get more pictures and felt this was not organised for the visitors convenience. We also felt rushed when we stopped at the maple syrup stop which we enjoyed. The guide was good and answered all my questions. The falls were spectacular.
Everything was well organized and worked perfekt. Our driver/tour guide was great and did an unbeatable job. Can completely recommend this trip.
the the skylone tower, boat ride and being behind the falls was pretty good and as expected. I would've liked some free time (as advertised) from the tour company to be able to see more of the town. We lost some time due to traffic and road closures in Toronto so at Niagara times felt very crunched and a bit rushed (not enough time for sightseeing or eating) Maple testing, and floral clock is something you can definitely skip, not much there Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful
Guides are very helpfull and friendly during the entire trip. It was easy to walk around and plan activities with their assistance.

Hard to put into words how the eperince was, but it was memorable. I reccoemnd taking a tour because you don't have to worry about parking, or where to go. I had a great time
Very imprewssed. lots of water.
Nice guide and very professional.

It was a wonderful experience — an outstanding tourism offering at an excellent price for the quality of services provided. I would absolutely recommend it 100%, without hesitation.
Everything was super easy and well organized. The tour guide was lovely and expleained it all in details plus amazing histories and facas. The boat tour is once in a ligetime experience.
We elected to go for the 'behind the falls' + the tower+a boat trip. We really enjoyed the trip overall - if we had a citicism it would be that the first part of the tour (behind the falls) felt rushed as we had only. 45 minutes to queue,descend see the 3 viewing points quickly and queue again for the lift back up in order to get the coach to the tower. We would have preferred more time to get more pictures and felt this was not organised for the visitors convenience. We also felt rushed when we stopped at the maple syrup stop which we enjoyed. The guide was good and answered all my questions. The falls were spectacular.
Everything was well organized and worked perfekt. Our driver/tour guide was great and did an unbeatable job. Can completely recommend this trip.
the the skylone tower, boat ride and being behind the falls was pretty good and as expected. I would've liked some free time (as advertised) from the tour company to be able to see more of the town. We lost some time due to traffic and road closures in Toronto so at Niagara times felt very crunched and a bit rushed (not enough time for sightseeing or eating) Maple testing, and floral clock is something you can definitely skip, not much there Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful
Journey behind the Falls and Boat ride were the highlights.
Niagara are very nice waterfalls. Tour was good organized with a guide, who spoke very good german too.
Excellent behaviour of Mr Suresh Our Driver cum Guide An experience will not discribe in some world's
