3.00We feel this tour was mis-sold. Having read previous reviews, we booked this based on the positive feedback which seemed to relate to Mike. Joe, our guide, was more of a driver and less of a guide. During the 3.5 journey there we received about 10 minutes of commentary. The collection point was well out of downtown and a very early start which wouldn’t have been such an issue had it not been for our overall satisfaction of the tour. The tour was not cheap. In comparison we had a full day trip to a vineyard, Niagara Falls, a 3 course lunch and Niagara on the lake for slightly less. We consider ourselves to be fairly active but found this quite hard going at times. The itinerary suggests some flexibility but none was offered. We also did not have a canoe ride which is clearly listed as a highlight and nor was any explanation given explaining why this didn’t happen. There was no suggestion that we should bring mosquito repellent and on the trip back the minivan was full of them. Perhaps the van should have been sprayed before we set off as we became a buffet for the local mossies! There were some nice views along the route but most of the hike was through wooded areas. It was advertised as 3 separate hikes but was actually more like an 4-hour hike (quite exhausting) and a half hour one. Overall, disappointing and not recommended.
