5.00We all had a fantastic day despite the cold 🥶. The communications were excellent leading up to our trip & pick up was right on time & super convenient. Tracy our guide greeted us & immediately made us feel welcome. We were thrilled to be told that the boat cruise would be running (usually not available winter season). Tracey was an excellent guide with great knowledge of Toronto & tips on things to see & do. Tracy was professional, and took care of everything & everyone ensuring everything went smoothly & we all had a fabulous day. Thank you Tracy & Queen Tours 10/10!
A fantastic trip to Niagara with a great driver and good value for money

5.00Our day trip to Niagara Falls from Toronto was worth every penny. Tracey, our driver, was brilliant. She gave us lots of good information. On the way, we stopped to do maple syrup tasting which was great. We had time to grab a coffee before we headed off to the Falls. The Falls are incredible. We had plenty of time to spend both on top of the Falls and down on the viewing platform to see the Falls from lower down. We decided to pay extra for the Journey Behind the Falls which allowed us access to the lower platform. Well worth $35 each. We also paid $35 each to experience the flight across the Falls, a new attraction which was fantastic. It was a ride, but it took you into the Falls and surrounding areas. We felt spray on our faces as we went down into the Falls and could smell the flowers as we flew over the botanical gardens. Again, well worth the money. We then had some time to spend in Cliftonville where we grabbed some food. Cliftonville is full of attractions - a bit like Blackpool. Not really our thing but interesting to see. I can highly recommend this tour for value for money. We were picked up at 8am and dropped back at 5pm. Tracey was fantastic.

5.00The communications about logistics before the excursion were clear and accurate. The activities were well planned. Stacy was professional and attentive. Just to let you know, you'll be traveling back to Toronto during rush hour, so patience with traffic may be necessary.

5.00What a tour Paul has given us. Honestly, there are not enough words in the dictionary to describe him. Absolutely fantastic and brilliant. Cheerful, energetic and magnificent just like the waterfalls themselves. It’s been a lovely day with you Paul! Instead of $10 give him $20. Thank you!
