Almost but not quite

3.00Disappointed that the boats on the Canadian side were not operating when the American boats were going out, we wanted to see the falls up close but had to make do with the tunnels which was very short as people were piling in and the cost of entry should be less than the boats. The maple syrup tasting experience was a great addition and very interesting. Our tour guide Salvatore was knowledgeable and made a very long trip pleasant although we did not get dropped off at pick up point due to heavy traffic and road closures we didn’t mind as the 15 minute walk back was good. There were many add-ons offered throughout the trip that you could purchase but the main was the boat trip and sadly for us it didn’t happen. All in all it was incredibly beautiful to view the falls and these are memories to take home.
Kaleb was a wonderful...

Terrible Experience

1.00Terrible. Waited in the lobby at pickup for over an hour. Driver never showed up. I had to reach out to the provider who told me the driver tried calling me 3 times (untrue) and now our day to the Falls is not happening. Avoid this company and tour!
Amazing tour to Niagara Falls!

5.00We had the best day on this tour!!! Our tour guide Paul was fantastic - he was friendly, knowledgeable, funny and so accomodating! We did journey behind the falls and it was incredible being so close to the falls (be prepared to get wet!). We then walked along and saw the falls from a distance which was incredible to. I definitely reccomend seeing it from different view points to really enjoy its beauty. We also went to Clifton Hills for lunch and some souvenir shopping. Its crazy there and very over the top but still looked like a fun place particularly if you had kids! I would highly reccomend Queen Tours if you are looking for a hassle free tour with a knowledgeable tour guide who will show you a good time!
WOW!!

4.00A must-see, the falls are a force of nature and should be seen at least once in a lifetime. The trip is well organized, very kind staff. Comfortable pickup in front of the hotel. Too bad we could not take advantage of the boat ride for the still low temperatures. Nice ride under the falls.
A grand day out!

5.00Andrew, our driver, was outstanding. His knowledge of Toronto and other various points of interest during the journey to Niagara were excellent and well delivered. We really enjoyed the attractions we arranged through Andrew at Niagara, especially the Power Station.
It is a well-controlled tour, with a very organized structure, prepared for tourism. But nothing delightful!
