Disappointing. Niagara...

3.00Disappointing. Niagara Falls is nice and worth the visit. The bus was very uncomfortable. Expect no leg room if you are anywhere near 6 feet tall. Driver sped through the turns and bumps. I still have back pain from the drive. It took us about 3.5 hours to get to Niagara Falls from Toronto with the traffic and stops. The driver seemed annoyed to be there. He did not have any interesting information or facts and gave off a vibe that he didn’t want to be bothered with questions. I’m willing to accept he had a bad day, but it happened to be on our tour.

3.00The tour started with a hour long stop for maple syrup tasting which seemed to be an obligatory shopping stop. When we finally made it to the falls we were given 40 minutes to do the journey behind the falls. My husband and I returned to our meeting point and watched the tour guide drive away without us even though we were waiving at him. In order to catch up with the tour we had to run from the table rock centre to the horn blower cruise (not easy as we are both seniors). It is only by sheer luck we were able to spot some people from our group as the boat was about to depart. The rest of the tour was ok but the experience of being left behind made us nervous the rest of the trip. This tour is ok if you only want a very brief time at the falls.

5.00It involves a fair amount of walking!! Excellent tour guide ( Adam Nice) who made getting tickets to all the attractions easy on us. My only complaint is the small tour bus with cramped seating. My husband is 6’ 2” and 300 pounds. It was very uncomfortable for him.
This tour was great. Adam...

5.00This was the first time my family and I visited Niagara Falls. We were in a group with a few elderly adults and He made sure we got to our end destination safely. Our tour guide was more than accommodating. He ensured that we all felt comfortable and stayed hydrated. He was very patient and ensured we had good stopping spots to use the restrooms and to get out the van to stretch. Directions were also clear and very easy to follow. He did absolutely great with timing and would check in to make sure we all were having a good time! Thanks again for a wonderful trip!
