5.00Kudos to John for making a cold wet and snowy day one full of adventure-if you can, you should do it! You are here! A wonderful storyteller, and always concerned everyone knows where to be and is taken care of, John was a highlight!
Thank you, Winston!

5.00My experience with Queen Tours will absolutely fantastic! This is largely due to our incredibly pleasant, engaging and thoughtful tour guide/leader, Winston! He sincerely took joy in going above and beyond for all of the passengers to ensure that we were aware, aided and informed. Personally, I am most grateful for willingness to cultivate an extremely accommodating experience for my Mom that needed wheelchair assistance with some of the excursions. It was a total of 4 of us on the tour together. We were all so moved by his kindness and attention to detail. Winston, you were an angel. Thank you for being an amazing human and tremendous professional!

5.00We did the day trip to Niagara with Queen Tours in October 2025. Pick up was at our hotel and exactly on time. Our driver/guide was Paul, who was fantastic; very considerate and thoughtful and well-organised. One group of people didn't show up; he was excellent about making sure they weren't just briefly delayed, but made the call at the appropriate time to get going so the day wasn't delayed for everyone else. His management of getting everyone to the Behind the Falls Tour walk and the Boat Trip was great; very clear instructions and made sure we got to where we needed to be so that we got the most out of our day. Highly recommend doing both the Behind the Falls Tour walk and the Boat Trip; they're well worth it, and no matter what you've seen of Niagara Falls in photos or film, they're even more magical when you're there. I could have watched them all day.
Highly recommend to solo or groups!

5.00Excellent experience, especially when the ferry takes you to be among the 3 waterfalls, you feel the power of the water, the noise, the wet, spectacular.
