DO NOT BOOK ANY EXTRA OPTIONS THROUGH TRIPADVISOR. JUST BOOK THE BASIC TRIP

1.00It's a shame that I have to give this a one star review. The actual trip was very good and Suresh our tour guide was very nice and informative. Unfortunately we were severely overcharged by TripAdvisor when booking this trip. We booked the Niagara falls trip and the behind the falls option which cost £88.26 each. If we had just booked the Niagara falls trip without the behind the falls option it would have cost £46.64 each. So we paid an extra £41.26 each for the behind the falls option. The tour operator then contacted me telling me the behind the falls option only costs 35 Canadian dollars (around £19) so we paid an extra £22 each just because we booked through TripAdvisor. I've highlighted the discrepancy to TripAdvisor/Viator and provided evidence and they have refused to refund the difference even though it's clear that they are significant over charging people. This is very disappointing. So do not book any extras through Trip advisor and just pay for any extra options on the day.
Niagara Falls day trip.

3.00Everything was fine besides the extra we paid to go to the “journey behind the falls” our driver charged us $25 a piece and when we got to the door we realized it was $20.
An unforgettable experience, just magical 🫶

5.00Such an amazing, incredible experience for my sister & I. From start to finish it was a magical day. Our tour guide John was so lovely, super friendly, informative, helpful & accommodating throughout the whole trip. The Journey behind the falls experience was off the scale & included in our ticket price. Wanted to go on it again and again. John shared his vast knowledge of Toronto with us throughout the day & made the day even more memorable.
The Falls are absolutely breathtaking.

5.00Just got back from an unforgettable trip to Niagara Falls, and I can’t recommend the experience enough! 🌊✨ From start to finish, everything was incredible. We had the chance to stop and sample locally made maple syrup, which was not only delicious but also super informative—it a nice touch to the trip! And then… the Falls. Absolutely breathtaking. Seeing Niagara Falls in person is something that truly has to be experienced to be believed—the power, the beauty, the mist in the air—it was all just magical. A huge shoutout to our driver, Suresh, who made the journey even better. He was a safe and skilled driver, incredibly knowledgeable. If you’re considering a visit, do it—you won’t regret it! 💙

5.00Really well planned tour, given the amount of options presented to everyone and different groups going off to do different things at different times. Pickup was clear and easy, and Tracy's communication throughout was excellent. We enjoyed it all and we are really grateful that she was able to arrange us a spur of the moment helicopter tour!
