Boat tour of the Falls from the Canadian side.

5.00The boat tour of the Falls was awesome! It was breathtaking to be that close to the fall and be surrounded by the water and mist.
No advantage for boat access/get in line

2.00The guide from Grayline was nice but not really interesting. I felt i was being sold on the local attractions near the Sheraton instead of receiving an interesting tour of the area (except learning about the hotel that had been at the Oakes Park years ago). This is much too expensive for the product and we were NOT walked to the front of the boat line. We were actually detained from getting to the front of the line, 'go take pictures'. We did that because we thought we were then getting a fast track to the boat line....nope.
Highly recommend!
