A perfect outing with family. A boat ride to the falls, Niagara by Lake, and even maple syrup tasting with briefing on the types of maple syrups. Alex the guide explained all so well and was helpful with our queries. A day trip to remember!

Alex our tour guide was great. She was a wealth of knowledge, very patient and enjoyable. She answered our questions thoroughly. She clearly communicated the expectations of the trip and the time to return to the bus. Hugo the bus driver did a great job maneuvering that big bus. Highly recommended this tour. 👍🏻👍🏻
