5.00It was great! Had an exciting adventure. The boat ride was amazing. You were able to get up close with the falls, yes I got wet but I loved it ❤️ the journey behind the falls was interesting. The maple syrup tasting was fun. Being able to taste the 3 different flavors made it easier to choose which one I wanted to take home. The different flavors of chocolate they had was different but we're delicious. And our tour guide Tracy was great! She was very informative of places to go visit and eat at. She made it fun!! 😀 This was a great tour!
A great experience!...

5.00A great experience! Andrew (Homer) was an amazing guide - very friendly and knowledgeable. The maple syrup tasting was delicious. I did the boat cruise option, which was a lot of fun (though my jacket sleeves did get a little soaked, as they weren’t covered by the poncho but thankfully managed to dry out before returning to the city.) I got a lot of amazing photos and videos. A very enjoyable day overall. If I were to return to Niagara Falls one day with my family I’d definitely would like to do the Journey Behind the Falls as well.
Great Adventure

5.00A great full day if you do both the boat ride and the journey under the falls. Will have time to eat after the journey under the falls. Our guide and driver, Andrew, was very pleasant, and did an excellent job providing background and historical information, keeping us on time, and providing needed breaks. Highly recommend this adventure.
