5.00Patrick was amazing. Very knowledgeable with the additional little fun facts. Nice walking tour along the walk way along side of the falls. Was not rushed, took his time with us, till we got to the entrance of the Hornblower boat ride. The weather was awful but we had a great time on the tour and boat ride.

5.00Firstly do your research! HORNBLOWER is Canadian side and Maid of the Mist is USA side. And yes Canadian side is the better side. Meeting point was at the Niagara Falls meeting point and we all arrived early much to the delight of our very energetic host, Bernie. There were 3 couples in the group and we shared introductions and off we went on our walking tour, with Bernie sharing her vast knowledge of the history of the area. She didnt mind a couple dropping back to save their legs while we continued the tour and eventually all met up again at the boat station, swiftly guided through and onto one of the most exhilarating experiences of my life. The noise, the experience, the views are just amazing! You cannot go to the Falls without experiencing this boat ride.
Family fun activity…go earlier in the day.

5.00Boat gets you up close to the falls and the spray from the water. Everyone gets wet! Great experience but crowded. The boat turns so all sides get wet- everyone crowds to the front thinking it is the only place to see the falls but you get wet on all sides!

5.00Tour was amazing and very informative! Tour guide met us and walked us through Niagara Falls explaining ea h part and added few historical stories which made it fun! Boat ride was breathtaking, you get close to the falls and you ride through the mists of the horseshoe falls! We got wet even with rain jacket and ponchos but the experience was well worth it! Highly recommend this tour!
