Everything was super easy and well organized. The tour guide was lovely and expleained it all in details plus amazing histories and facas. The boat tour is once in a ligetime experience.
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.
Everything was well organized and worked perfekt. Our driver/tour guide was great and did an unbeatable job. Can completely recommend this trip.
the the skylone tower, boat ride and being behind the falls was pretty good and as expected. I would've liked some free time (as advertised) from the tour company to be able to see more of the town. We lost some time due to traffic and road closures in Toronto so at Niagara times felt very crunched and a bit rushed (not enough time for sightseeing or eating) Maple testing, and floral clock is something you can definitely skip, not much there Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful
Both Bernard and Vishal were great in accommodating the guests which was great for this amazing adventure we had!
Our guide Kaleb was terrific. We learnt a lot and he was very well organised. Thanks so much.
Our guide was great, the explanations and the differents step of the day. The cruise is really great.
Bernard was amazing!! Very attentive, and funny! Should get a pay raise!
was amazing my tour guide was amazing person and very friendly I don’t remember his name but he was very professional
What an awesome experience. We added on the helicopter ride over the Falls to complete our Bucket List. From our fantastic driver to the spectacular views this is one of the best tours I have been on
A very good guide, Bernad, who accompanied the group in German and English! Perfect, took care of everything, showed and explained a lot! Super company!!!

Had such a wonderful experience! Afshin, our tour guide, was very friendly and personable and not annoying at all like some tour guides are. As a tourrist, I was very excited to do all of the fun bucketlist items like getting to experince eating frozen maple syrup off a stick and of course the bretahatking view of Niagra. Hard to put into words how the eperince was, but it was memorable. I reccoemnd taking a tour because you don't have to worry about parking, or where to go. I had a great time
Very imprewssed. lots of water.
Nice guide and very professional.
