Our tour guide Manish was very determined to ensure we enjoyed our tour and really knows everything about Niagara Falls ! He could answer every question and provided us with detailed facts and pictures about the history,flow, erosion, and all very interesting facts. His story telling kept us engaged and he made sure we got the full effect of each excursion! We did the Day and Night tour which included a very nice dinner and an awesome personal experience at the Ellumination Tower that you just can't get anywhere! This was the best tour experience ever and we highly recommend it!!!

This was a great experience! Greg, our guide, was so knowledgeable and made the tour great! If you are not familiar with the area, this is the best way to see the Falls from many different angles. We loved Niagara Falls State Park. Just an amazing experience and Greg made it all worthwhile!
