5.00Ask for Johnny, great tour guide, very knowledgeable about the area, funny. We really enjoyed his company
Falls, Whirlpools, and Skylon - just right!

5.00I booked this reasonably priced outing (which includes all admission tickets) as a solo traveler less than two days in advance. The Viator system ran smoothly and I received Johnny Z's direct contact information promptly. His communications were prompt and useful as we determined the specific time for my Buffalo hotel pick up. We found each other easily and I took a seat in his immaculate car. We drove to Niagara to pick up the other person also doing the tour. Johnny was an excellent driver while also pointing out sites of interest. I am an endlessly curious asker of questions. To his great credit, Johnny adapted to my needs/preferences while keeping track of time, giving his two guests enough time at various sites, participating in lively discussions, and tending to technical things like choices of routes, avoiding unnecessary lines, etc. He appropriately broke from unrelated topics to point out/explain things we would have regretted not paying attention to. The time flew by and we saw everything we'd hoped to! Given the evidence of big crowd control measures not necessary that day, I think we visited at the perfect time of year and day of the week (Monday.). The border crossing was even fast both ways due to minimal traffic. WE ALL HAD OUR PASSPORTS and did NOT need any Visas to enter Canada or re-enter the US. Do your homework if you are not a US or Canadian citizen. Or only do a tour which does not cross into Canada. If you mess up do not expect reimbursement or even to be taken back to the original pick up spot unless everyone in the car has the same problem. Everyone, especially Johnny and Viator want every tour to be fully completed. I hope my mentioning this may save at least one person or group the disappointment and costs of a failed tour which is their own fault. I would happily tour with Johnny Z again and, once again, the Viator team served as a reliable link between tourist and tour operator. I loved never having to figure out where to park, where to buy tickets, and how to be at the right place to meet the timed ticket entry window. I had a relaxing, beautiful, damp, educational, fun time with three strangers getting acquainted because of the always glorious attractions in the Niagara/Ontario area.
Very fun and exciting!

Awesome Tour of Niagara Falls from Buffalo

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00This was an awesome, all-inclusive tour of Niagara Falls from Buffalo, NY to both the American and Canadian sides of the Falls! Trip included all tickets/passes including Maid of the Mist boat ride and the Skylon Tower and its panoramic views. Tour guide was friendly, professional, accommodating and communicated promptly throughout the process and day of the tour! It was well-worth the extra time, expense and effort to see all of Niagara Falls State Park!
Best Tour Ever

5.00The tour was conducted by a young man with good knowledge of the area and the history behind the areas of interest. We were able to see everything we wanted to see. Our tour guide gave us ample time to take pictures and anticipated our every need. I recommend him for anyone's tour.

5.00Johnny was our guide for the day. Lots to see and do both sides of the Falls, USA and Canada. We were travelling from Australia and just needed our passports for entry into Canada. Lots of walking and steps and lots of info from Johnny. A very enjoyable day with great weather.
