5.00We had a great time on this trip to Niagara falls. Our guide Suresh was very friendly and informative. We were picked up outside royal Ontario museum (other places also available). Trip to Niagara took around 2 and a half hours. We stopped at the whirlpools and a maple syrup shop where there were lots of nice free samples to try and option to buy if wanted. The actual falls were incredible. Was a very sunny day so was nice walking round the area. We paid for the behind the falls option but the waterfalls were frozen so it's much better to do that in summer. There was a bit of an issue with us getting initially charged more than we should for the trip with TripAdvisor refusing to refund the mistake. However the local tour operator (Queen Tours) contacted me directly to fix the mistake and give us the refund which was much appreciated. Highly recommend the trip. Would suggest booking the extra staffing through Queen Tours when they contact you to confirm booking.
Great full day tour of Niagara Falls

5.00i went with my partner and sister to take this tour, with Pauly as our tour guide. he was extremely welcoming to us and eased any of our concerns all along the way. he was extremely organized and made sure we all got through everything we wanted to with plenty of time, and made sure to accommodate everyone. the day was beautiful and using this service made it so much easier to just enjoy the day instead of worrying about planning. the bus could get a little hot, so i would just say to try and stay hydrated or bring a fan. i would definitely recommend this tour and would take it again if i visit toronto!
