4.00The sights were breathtaking and well worth being bucket list items for anyone. Here is what needs improvement for this company: 1. There should be an obviously clear itinerary for the entire day. When we boarded the would have new a good time. It would have helped if say for example, the driver have taped a sheet of paper with the protocols for the day. Something like, “First we will have 3 hotel stops prior to arriving. There will be opportunities for the restroom facilities and for the purchase of simple snacks on the third stop. The second stop will be…The third stop will be...etc. 2. The protocols for the visit once we arrived at the facility should have been posted as well. There were 3 groups of of us customers who didn't know where to walk to, whether or not we needed additional tickets, if so, where to get the tickets and so on. One of the customers finailly decided to call the office to get clarification and directions because we couldn't find anyone there to help us. 3. The driver although trying, was a bit snappy and even rude. This was not necessary. We are the customers and we only want what we paid for. This company really needs to improve customer service.
Grand day at Niagara falls.

5.00JD was a great tour guide and the tour covered everything we wanted to see, and gave us plenty of time for some exploring on our own. We only did the cruise add on, which was 100% worth it - highly recommend. If you don’t do the journey behind the falls, you end up with a couple hours of free time so try and plan some things to do during that time if you want to. The floral clock wasn’t in bloom yet but it was nice to see anyways. We were on a tight schedule and this tour allowed us to get back in downtown toronto around 6pm, even with a bunch of Blue Jay and Fifa traffic. Felt like we saw everything we wanted to, plenty of time, great weather, and a decent price!
Best day out!
