5.00This Niagara Falls tour was truly unforgettable — the perfect mix of natural wonder, adventure, and local charm! The Behind the Falls experience was absolutely breathtaking. Standing at the base of one of the world’s most powerful waterfalls and feeling the mist on your face was exhilarating. The tunnels leading behind the cascade gave us a whole new perspective — you can literally feel the roar of the water echo through the walls! Our guide Asif was knowledgeable and entertaining, sharing fascinating stories about the history and geology of the Falls along the way. Afterward, we took a scenic drive through the Niagara countryside to visit a local maple syrup factory, which was a delightful surprise. We learned about how syrup is made from sap collection to bottling, and even got to taste several grades of maple syrup — the amber was my favorite! They also offered maple-infused snacks, which made perfect souvenirs. Overall, the tour struck a wonderful balance between excitement and relaxation. The behind-the-falls portion gave us that thrilling “wow” factor, while the syrup factory stop added a cozy, authentic local touch. I’d highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to experience Niagara Falls beyond the typical viewpoints — it’s both educational and incredibly fun!
Wonderful VIP tour of Niagara Falls ( Canadian side) with Boat, Behind the Falls and a maple syrup and chocolate tasting

5.00We had a WONDERFUL experience with Asif! He picked us up at a parking spot that was a bit away from the downtown area but that was cheaper than parking downtown. We had VIP tickets to everything so parked very close to the entrances to things and skipped the lines for both the boat and the behind the Falls tour. As an extra treat he took us to a Canadian maple syrup and chocolate shop where we tasted three different kinds of maple syrup and the chocolate they made there. He then drove us back to our car. Ten stars!
