Worth getting wet!

5.00Great tour! The falls were spectacular. Plenty of time at each spot without feeling rushed. “The Captain” (Michael) was great and full of helpful tips. Make sure to wear quick dry clothing and be prepared to get wet on both the boat and behind the falls tour where it’s a bit more like a hurricane than a mist! 🤣
An absolute must

5.00Andrew, our guide, was amazing! He was very sweet and knowledgeable. The overall tour was awesome! It was an excellent day trip. I did the cruise and behind the falls, you must do both of those, it is an experience like non other. He showed us the rapids ahead of the falls and horseshoe bay down the falls. It was phenomenal!
1st class guide!

5.00Our tour guide was really helpful. She gave food tips on things to check out while in Toronto. I like that they pick up from several convenience locations. The stops along the way to Niagara are a nice way to break up the trip. The bus was clean, comfortable and updated. I slept a lot on it. The journey behind the falls add on was amazing and worth it.
Go see the Falls!

5.00Don’t hesitate to book this tour! They made things so easy for us from pickup to drop off. We were offered a bathroom stop on the way if needed. Also offered to add on additional discounted attractions if you didn’t sign up for them before. The Falls were truly amazing—God’s creation at its finest! We got Paul (Pauliie) as our guide and he was great. Made us all feel comfortable and made it all fun.
A Day of Fun
