5.00That was one of the best experiences of my life. And thank you party marty for the time. I brought my family to niagara for my wife's 40s birthday with our 2 boys. And honestly Marty's knowledge, humor, and friendliness made this gift/trip worth every cent. Will be coming back within the year. Will be booking again, will be booking with marty. The price of $130 was way worth it for the experience and the timing was not to long or short.
Awesome time!
