5.00Fantastic - really good tour. Both the boat trip and the Behind the Falls tour were so different to anything we had done before. Prepare to get a bit wet! Jose really looked after us.

5.00This was truly a wonderful and surprising trip. Our guide, Salvatore, was incredibly familiar with the scenery along the way, and his vivid and engaging commentary made the journey anything but boring. The falls were absolutely stunning and unforgettable. Taking the boat is a must; it's a fantastic experience, and although we got completely soaked, the feeling was absolutely amazing!
Great curated trip to Niagara falls

5.00This was a wonderful package that takes away the stress of logistics and lines, and takes you to some scenic overlooks, some snacks and tasting, and a fun experience through the falls. It includes the tastings and the boat ride, where journey behind the falls is optional. The views were phenomenal and our guide was very sweet and considerate and patient with the language gap. Salvatore and the team went above and beyond to accommodate my family and I so we could stay end spend time together and have the same experience even though we all had separate bookings and packages. The gaps that our relatives travel agent had were bridged by their support to get us on the same bus, same experience, and the same pickup spot (my family didn’t have anything selected) Thank you so much !
Fantastic experience.

5.00Great trip. Plenty of time to spend at Niagara Falls to do all the things you want. Paul was a very knowledgeable guide. If boat and behind the falls are booked as part of the trip then you’re escorted through the line. Not too many in the bus so not waiting around for everyone to turn up. Highly recommended.
Such a wonderful trip!...
