We fully enjoyed our Niagara Falls tour with our guide Alora. I recommend using this tour company to assist you in seeing all the different parts of Niagara Falls: we chose to see the falls from above with the Skylon Tower, beside with the Journey Behind the Falls, and inside the falls with the Hornblower Cruise. Using this tour gave us the leisure and confidence of being with someone who knew it well. We didn't need to wait in lines to purchase tickets, and we received inside information on the best viewing spots. Alora gave us information about the falls, the history, those who decided to travel over the falls, and more. My husband asked for a food recommendation, and he enjoyed her suggestion for poutine. Thanks

This was the first time bringing our children to Canada and while staying in Niagara, we wanted them to experience the most that the falls had to offer. The tour guide, Alisha, was excellent. She talked about interesting historical facts about the falls, different events from the past and present, and was generally informative about the location, good places to visit and eat at. I would highly recommend the tour. The kids had a lot of fun. Bring water if coming in hotter months! The kids were quite thirsty and hot but we all had fun. The boat to the falls was the most fun we all had. You will get wet so dress accordingly but it is certainly an experience you can't get anywhere else.

Our tour guide, Alisha, was fantastic and enrgetic! She gave us so much background and info that it made all that we were seeing even more wonderful. She was fun and knowledgeable. The behind the falls was just remarkable and you were right up front. There wasn't much time here, but it was wonderful to be able to see what others do not. Alisha also told us right where to stand for the best view, and splash, on the boat! It was perfect! We enjoyed her immensely and totally would recommend this tour for sure! I was worried that I wasn't going to get all of the things we wanted to do in "one" place....but this package was perfect.

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.

The attractions chosen were all good and arranged in a good order. My bus to Niagara Falls ran 45 minutes late and my guide was helpful enabling me to join the tour even though I arrived 5 minutes late. However, the tour was advertised to finish at 12:30. At 12:30 our guide dropped us off in the line for the boat. With queuing for the boat elevators and the boat tour itself, we weren't finished until 1:30. I had to run to catch my bus back to Toronto at 1:45. I was also the very last person to make it onto the boat, and would have missed my bus otherwise. This meant that I had no time to get lunch or just have a wander about by myself, despite having built in more than an hour of wiggle room for this. There was another member of our tour who had to leave at 12:30 and did not get to go on the boat. My guide was very friendly, but English was not his first language and I had trouble following him. His English was technically very good, and all instructions were clear, but I could not understand most of the section of the tour where he told the stories about the people who had tried to go over the falls in barrels etc. I have much respect for anyone working a job in a second language, but it did mean that one of the main reasons to book a tour instead of (more cheaply) sorting individual activities independently was negated.

Our tour guide was amazing. She was a very personable and kind. In the beginning we had trouble finding the group. The initial email said we would be meeting outside of the Skylon Tower and our tour guide would be wearing a white shirt. After some stressful waiting out front, we learned that everyone was gathering inside and the tour guides were wearing black shirts. A simple update to their generic email would have solved this issue. There were other patrons waiting outside with us just as confused. With that all said, it was a great experience and we would use this tour organization again if opportunity arises.

We enjoyed having Alicia as our guide, however, the whole tour was a big rush from one place to the next. We didn't have time to take photos at the good spots and could not hear what she was saying because my daughter and I could not keep up with the fast pace she set. Also, the trip to the observation deck would be more effective if it was the last spot on the tour. We did see the attractions we bought tickets for. Our tour was supposed to be an hour and a half, but was more like 3 hours.

I honestly didn’t expect to be THAT blown away. Did the Day and Night Combo Tour last week w/ my partner—total game changer. The boat ride was the best part for us (got SOAKED, bring extra socks lol). Our guide, Marco, kept things light and fun, even when we hit some crowds right before sunset. Seeing the falls lit up at night was a whole vibe. We got a bit chilly after dark so maybe pack a light jacket (even in May!). The only thing that bugged me was that the elevator lines at Skylon Tower were kinda long, but worth it for the view. Def worth the $$ and time. Would do again for sure.

Did the combo tour with my mom for Mother’s Day. We both LOVED it. The boat ride was wild and the guide took extra care with my mom (she’s a bit nervous with crowds). Night lights were perfect. So worth it.

I honestly didn’t expect to be THAT blown away. Did the Day and Night Combo Tour last week w/ my partner—total game changer. The boat ride was the best part for us (got SOAKED, bring extra socks lol). Our guide, Marco, kept things light and fun, even when we hit some crowds right before sunset. Seeing the falls lit up at night was a whole vibe. We got a bit chilly after dark so maybe pack a light jacket (even in May!). The only thing that bugged me was that the elevator lines at Skylon Tower were kinda long, but worth it for the view. Def worth the $$ and time. Would do again for sure.

Took my two teens and my wife. The kids LOVED the boat cruise (water ponchos are a must, trust me). The night lights were honestly magical, but my youngest got cranky waiting for the tower elevator. Our guide had great jokes and facts. Would skip the souvenir shop next time—kinda overpriced.

Epic day out. Did the tour with a bunch of friends on a bachelor trip. The Journey Behind the Falls was way cooler than I expected—so loud down there! The night lights were sick but we were all wiped by then. Our guide had a never-ending supply of fun facts. Would’ve liked a bit more time at the Skylon bar, but hey, can’t have it all.

Went solo and honestly, it was just okay. The day part dragged a bit, and I wish we had more time at the Illumination Tower—it felt suuuper rushed. Good way to tick off the main sights tho. Guide was nice but sometimes hard to hear in the crowd. Probably better if you’re w/ friends or family.

I went solo and made new friends! The group was small and the guide (Simon) was super chill. We got to see the falls from so many angles, and the night lights were even better than I expected. Big tip: try to stand at the front of the boat for the best spray (and best laughs).

We (my 17-years old children and me) had a nice and interessting day. We booked the trip to the falls including the journey behind the falls and the boat trip. Above all the boat trip was a nice experiance. We went close to the falls (the thundering water-masses). Yes there were a lot of people at the falls. It is over-tourism! Thanks to our guide Bernhard for organising the tour. We had a wonderful day.

Amazing day. The falls are more spectacular than I anticipated We did behind the falls, Skylon tower and boat ride. We also did additional helicopter ride. All amazing but to be honest a bit too much to cram in. It's a bit of a rush to do it all. We almost missed the boat trip as the queue was so big. We just managed to do it, but was 50-50 if we made it back to the coach in time. Do the boat first!! Not last, as it's the best bit so don't risk missing it

Our tour guide was fantastic! We were his first tour group as he had been in training to become a guide, and he was amazing. He was funny and friendly and had some great recommendations of places to eat and see in Toronto as well. The tours were great, though with all the add-ons, we didn't actually get enough free time to see the town, so that was a bit of a bummer, but overall was a great value for the cost.

All amazing but to be honest a bit too much to cram in. It's a bit of a rush to do it all. We almost missed the boat trip as the queue was so big. We just managed to do it, but was 50-50 if we made it back to the coach in time. Do the boat first!! Not last, as it's the best bit so don't risk missing it

It is very convenient to get a ride back and forth even if you have to pay the toll of paying 45min in the store to be explained about maple syrup but mostly to buy.

Bus trip was terrible, 4 hrs to get to the falls, 3 hrs to get back (traffic not your fault), then we had to rush like mad to see the tower, behind falls, & boat cruise by 3.30 pm....the bus left us behind at the tower at 12.45 pm...lots of wasted time (eg, stopping at maple leaf centre)...we had no time to look at the falls from the pathway

My daughter (14 years old) and I did the all-inclusive tour (Floral Clock, Whirlpool, Maple Syrup Tasting, Behind the falls, Tower, Boat Tour) at the end of July and were very enthusiastic. Our expectations were fully met and if we had to choose, we would book it again! I'll start with the "but" in the description: The first three stops in particular are very short or "touristy" (of course it's the whole vacation, otherwise we wouldn't be here). That means getting off the bus, taking photos and getting back on the bus. The maple syrup tasting is nice and at the same time clearly commercial! Did we have a problem with that? No! Why? The clear answer: the tour guide and our expectations. It was clear to us from the outset that the group tour was a group tour and therefore not everyone could hang around everywhere for hours. At the same time, and we both found this very positive, the tour guide told us from the outset how things would go and what we could actually expect. The Floral Clock is just a few flowers. Should you stop there? Yes! Should you stop there for a long time? No! So everything done right. The same with the other "advance" stops. It was completely different at the falls themselves. It was clearly explained to us when we should be where. Where we had to go and how to get in. Here, we were actually guided to the respective door so that we couldn't get lost (although it did happen to us on the way back on our own). We had enough time at ALL the stations and were able to see everything in a relatively relaxed manner. Behind the falls and the tower are quite nice and if you are there, you should definitely do that (the guide was right there too, you probably only come here once). The real highlight was of course the boat tour. Very impressive, very wet and an absolute must! Tip: Despite the poncho, pack a change of clothes and, if possible, perhaps slippers or similar for the boat. We stood at the bottom and at the very front and the water ran into the top of our boncho and our feet got wet from below. On the upper deck, at least our feet seemed to stay dry. The return journey took almost 2.5 hours due to the evening traffic jam. On a positive note, a short break was made so that we could use the toilets or buy snacks if necessary (not a planned tourist activity!). We stopped at a Tim Horton's so no commission for the driver or guide from the store). The bottom line, and you can probably tell from the review, is that the trip was worthwhile and is also highly recommended in terms of value for money! It's probably cheaper if you travel or take care of it yourself, but for us as "uninformed tourists" the package was definitely the right choice. Thank you very much!

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.

Our tour guide was fantastic! We were his first tour group as he had been in training to become a guide, and he was amazing. He was funny and friendly and had some great recommendations of places to eat and see in Toronto as well. The tours were great, though with all the add-ons, we didn't actually get enough free time to see the town, so that was a bit of a bummer, but overall was a great value for the cost.

Our tour guide was fantastic! We were his first tour group as he had been in training to become a guide, and he was amazing. He was funny and friendly and had some great recommendations of places to eat and see in Toronto as well. The tours were great, though with all the add-ons, we didn't actually get enough free time to see the town, so that was a bit of a bummer, but overall was a great value for the cost.

My sons and I had a great experience - perfect cadence of activities and enough time to fully enjoy each one. The highlight was the illumination tour. The tour put together a variety of activities that I wouldn't have been able to find and it gave us priority access to make the day super efficient and fun! Thank you!

Did the combo tour with my gf and honestly, best decision. The falls in winter are EPIC and the crowds are almost gone. Our guide gave us all the best photo tips. Lights at night made it feel like a winter fairy tale. Dress warm!

We (my 17-years old children and me) had a nice and interessting day. We booked the trip to the falls including the journey behind the falls and the boat trip. Above all the boat trip was a nice experiance. We went close to the falls (the thundering water-masses). Yes there were a lot of people at the falls. It is over-tourism! Thanks to our guide Bernhard for organising the tour. We had a wonderful day.
