Bernie was the best guide! My husband and I had so much fun. The other group we were suppose to go with canceled so we basically had a private tour. Bernie was so knowledgeable and friendly! We absolutely adored him. I'd say the tour was worth it if you're looking for more of the historical side of Niagara which we were. The caves were super cool! I'd recommend the early morning tour, because it got super packed closer to the afternoon.
