2.00I went for a tour with my family on the 12 August, 2025. I am not happy and upset with the drivers' attitude. 1st: The driver, Mr. K wants me to take care of one of the tourist who doesn't speak English so much. 2nd. I want to purchase tickets to visit behind the fall but he got the tickets to the skylon tour with the tourist who doesn't speak English. I am not a tour guide and he ordered me to do his job. I want to spend my time with my family and not to be with the other tourist. 3. He can control the volume and speak not too loud which is so annoying. 3. We don't have enough time to shop gifts.
An incredible experience!

He had amazing sense of timing, gave us ample time to enjoy the falls and all the adventures. There was no rush and he provided us with all the adequate information that helped us enjoy the experience even more… This was a day very well spent!

5.00It was fun, exciting!! It’s a fun to be remembered. The. Helicopter ride was safe with an experienced Pilot. It was well organized. My 6 years grandson loved it and also got a certificate for it. Then comes the Niagara Falls boat ride. The powerful misty water from the Falls wetting everyone on board was very very exciting. You could hear each passenger screaming and laughing with joy. It was a wonderful, amazing, thrilling and fun experience. Glory be to God for His wonderful and awesome creation. God alone is to be worshipped in Jesus name 🙏
