Once in a Lifetime Trip

5.00I thought the trip, Maid of the Mist, seeing both falls, and Cave of the Winds was great. Jim our tour guide was insightful, told great stories and had a good sense of humor. He gave us time at each stop, and did not rush us. He gave us ideas what to do on our own, like seeing the lights of the falls at night, fantastic, and whirlpool rapids, fantastic, and suggested where to go to see the fall leaves, also great. I would recommend this tour to anyone. As I told my wife, I will remember this trip the rest of my life. Sincerely, Dave McLane
Unforgettable

5.00What a trip!!!! I’m glad when people visit me in Buffalo because it makes me do all the tourist things I’ve never done. With the help of The Handsome Dan (our tour guide), we were able to hit all the great spots and learn a bunch too… with a lot of jokes thrown in as well! The highlights were of course the Maid of The Mist, but all of the other stops were really cool and Handsome Dan had great detailed info about the history of Niagara Falls! You should go on this trip!

5.00We had a great time on our tour. Our tour guide was fabulous and was amazing at his job. We had a 4 hour tour and went to the cave of winds, and did the maid of the mist among other things.

5.00We had such a wonderful tour! My family and I have been going to Niagara Falls, but this is our first time doing a tour. Our tour guide "handsome Dan" was such an incredible guide! He was very knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor. We had 6 kids 5 and below, and they all just loved him! Will definitely recommend them to whoever is visiting Niagara Falls!
Peak Life Experience.

5.00This was my first time to Niagara Falls with our family. My uncle, a retired master chief in the U.S. Navy has always wanted to come before it his time on this world expired and today was a bucket list item. All 12 of us did, including all 6 kids (under 7) Our tour guide, Dan made our experience truly unforgettable. Thank you so much.
