Falls visit with boat and behind the Falls experience

5.00We were told to be on time at the pick up point, understandably so as there is a lot to pack in. Lina was a great guide, giving us a running commentary of our journey out to the Falls where appropriate and detailed instructions on the where's and what's on meeting up again. The Falls were a great experience, particularly if you take in the boat ride and behind the falls opportunity. Nice to have some time to ourselves at the end too. All in all a great trip
Wonderful day at Niagara Falls.

5.00Wonderful tour. Picked up and dropped off at our hotel by Paul who was an excellent guide. Stops were well planned and tours at the Falls were excellent.
Very bumpy ride with bad mini bus

2.00The ride was very bumpy. It seemed like the car had no suspension. We felt every bump on the road. We all have back pain after this tour. I thought we would get a big bus but we got a mini bus that was for approximately 20 people instead. Very disappointing with the quality of the car. We have no complaint about Tracy, the driver. She was fine with driving. The company needs to upgrade or fix the car so the ride is comfortable. We had an expensive, very bumpy ride!

4.00There was a difference between what I paid for via the Viator website and what the provider (Queens) had listed. Consequently, I had to pay an extra US$ 52 to get access to an add-on that I had already paid for in in initial Viator booking. The tour operator told me that this is a frequent experience. I will be more careful booking via this dite in future.
Good guide not so good vehicle.
