Rick was an incredible tour guide! He was very personable, organized, patient with all the kiddos in our group (ages 5, 5, 10, 10, and 12), and gave us fun facts about the falls. Going through both the boat tour and the Behind the Falls tour with Rick leading the way was a breeze. I would not have done it any other way. 1000% recommend!

We had an amazing time ! We booked the 730 and got the VIP treatment. We were fortunate to have Linda as our guide . She was amazing. She told us all about the history and things to do in the area. She was upbeat, energetic and tried to connect and talk with each person in our group. She helped us pick the best spot to stand on the boat. Informed us of upcoming repairs and how that will be done. She explained history, the old stories and what the water is used for. What a great experience and would highly recommend her!

Great walking tour with the highlights (boat and behind the falls). The knowledge shared by the tour guide was great, but the pacing was off. It was 3 hours and should have been 2 hours.
