Our family is very happy with Steve, our tour guide. He did an incredible job; he was very kind, understanding, and fun. He was also very knowledgeable about the history of the falls and interesting facts about the park. We 100% recommend the tour. And if Steve is your guide, you've earned a bonus. You're going to love it. Thank you for such a wonderful experience.

The tour guide Stephen was really entertaining and informative. The Maid of The Mist boat ride was incredible. Even my 17 and 20 year old were in awe of Niagara Falls, and the shear power of the water, just amazing. The only negative was there wasn't clear instructions on where to meet the tour guide, my group along with 8 other people wandered around a few streets before we found where to meet!

Our tour and boat ride were awesome!! Billy, our tour guide had a great sense of humor and shared interesting historical tidbits. The boat ride itself was phenomenal. I booked it thinking it should be good, but wow was I glad that I did, it was so beautiful and exciting to see the falls right up close on the lake. Highly recommend doing this, I just with we had also booked the cave tour and trolley thing too, if the rest of this is anytime to go by I'm sure that would have been awesome too!
