    Would recommend this tour to the falls, boat ride and behind the falls. Well organized and on time. We had plenty of time to walk around on our own and explore. “The Captain” Michael did a great job of informing us of the various sites along the way, and the history.

    While it was great , there is a real disconnect between the pick up spot and when you come out of the journey behind the falls. You return back to the shop with many exists and little time to find exactly where you should get out to meet the bus . Lots of traffic and bus parked in different area to where stated
