Santa & Spectacular Falls

5.00We really enjoyed our day trip. The whole day was very well organised and our host, Michael (aka Santa!) was informative, engaging and made the trip extra memorable! He provided candy canes and bottled water, a really nice touch. Thank you Santa! Can highly recommend this company. And of course, the Falls are spectacular!
Great experience!

Reviews are truthful about the A/C not working

3.00Seeing the Niagara Falls was wonderful and breathtaking. Our tour on the other hand left much to be desired. We went in July, family of 4, 2 adults and 2 children (10 and 11). On the way there, the temperature on the bus was FREEZING. We stopped at a few points for several minutes. Finally arriving at the falls where we were pretty much left at the entrance and asked to come back at a specific time. Which is fine. On the way back, the A/C was either broken or off, I’m not sure. And I had read a review about this exact same problem before booking it! But I figured it might have just been an unlucky moment and the A/C was just not working that day or something. Well, I’ll save you the trouble and tell you that the guide either doesn’t turn on the A/C on the way back or his bus can’t handle the heat in the summer and the A/C simply can handle it. We were all sweating like crazy and sooooo uncomfortable for FOUR HOURS + because there was construction and traffic. I almost had a panic attack because I felt like I was suffocating. It was awful.
Great Experience

5.00One of the best experiences of my life. The guide was informative, friendly and cooperative. Also, overall they are very strict about timings. So one need to be at the pickup point 5-10 mins before
