Other than being directed on my tickets to the wrong meeting point which created a lot of extra unnecessary walking to get to the right place, the tour itself was exciting and very good.

The entire experience was awesome! Boarding the boat was easy, lots of interesting information along the walking tour from the boat to the journey behind the falls. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes! A water bag isn't necessary bc the ponchos they provide will cover you and a backpack.

Ashton was a terrific representative for your company. We loved the tunnel the most, and most of the boat. The captain thought drowning us in "mist?" was going to be refreshing. Um. Tooooo coooold! We will never forget our day and the photos are a treasure.

We loved our guide Alisha. She had a great upbeat personality that made the tour more exciting. She gave a lot of good information regarding history and places to go or places to eat. We loved that the tour due to it hitting all the spots that we were interested in seeing. It would be a nice option for people that want to stay at the locations longer to pick an extended time tour. We liked the time frame we were at for each location but if we had an elderly person with us, I could see them wanting more time at each location or needing more time to get to the next location. We loved and will recommend to family and friends in the future.
