Loved it - wouldn’t book behind the falls again!

5.00Reallly cool to visit the falls, you will get really wet! But I wouldn’t choose the journey behind the falls again. Not worth the money.
Fun, once in a lifetime experience!

5.00Kaleb was very enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the history of Niagara Falls. He made sure everyone in our group was accounted for and gave us different options on what to do with our free time. Highly recommend doing the Hornblower cruise add on as it is something you just have to experience in person and you can really feel the power of the falls!
Great day tour.

5.00Great day out with Marian, she made us feel at home and safe travelling to Niagara, she shared her extensive knowledge of the area and made sure we saw all the sights and went over and above to accommodate all of us on the tour, truly a lovely lady and a credit to Queen Tours.
Do this tour! Go on the boat! Go behind the falls!

5.00Every aspect was great. Our guide, Marian, was knowledgeable, kind, and flexible. She always kept us aware of our itinerary throughout the day. I’m so glad we did the behind the falls and the boat option! My entire family loved it all and learned a lot. Marian truly went above and beyond!

5.00Excellent tour with good options available to add in if you wanted. Our tour guide, Marian, was excellent. Very informative and clearly enjoys giving the tours. She made the day relaxing and enjoyable. And of course, Niagara Falls themselves are amazing, and I would definitely hope to go back one day.
One full day at Niagara!

5.00The tour made multilple stops like the clock flower, the waterpool, and more. You will get a 10% at the mapple syrup tasting store. We had a great time in the boat cruise and the journey behind the falls. I would totaly recomend both atractions. If you only want to do one, i sugest to take the journey behind the falls. You will not get as wet as the boat ride, would have the pictures up close of the falls and then you'll have more time at clifton hill. You will have the express line, so is a plus (we saw the other line and they weren't moving). If you also want to do the helicopter, there is an option to add it on the way there (you will have to pay it on the trip) Perfect day trip and Marian was great! Super friendly staff!

JD the rockstar and the tales of his golden cap

- Review from Tripadvisor
5.00It was a great experience from start to finish JD was very professional shared his anecdotes as we drove across different places and gave us an overview of things that might not be common to hear from. The admission fee includes everything. The little time one gets they can enjoy on their own at Clifton hill or find a place to eat after beyond the falls. The entire visit takes about 8 hours and is perfect for a packed day
