5.00We took this tour from Toronto today. Tracy was a fantastic tour guide/driver - polite, informative and friendly. Niagara Falls is breathtaking and well worth a visit. We enjoyed the Journey Behind the Falls tour and the Niagara Takes Flight attraction. Tracy allowed enough time at each stop and accommodated everyone's needs. I would definitely recommend this tour and would hope to do it again in the summer.

5.00We loved this tour. We were a large group of different ages, everyone had a great time. We did the full experience plus dinner. Illumination tower was such a highlight. Our guide, Adam Nice, did a great job keeping the energy positive and the group on schedule.

5.00I joined on an evening tour of Niagara Falls with tour guide Winston on 19 October. Winston is a kind and amiable man who showed us many of the Niagara Falls' tourist attractions. I got lost because the Niagara Falls area is so big. Winston picked me up for the next spot with such professionalism. When my friend travels to Toronoth, I will advise them to join the Queen Tour.

5.00This tour was amazing. The boat trip to the falls is something you can never get bored with, this was our 3rd time. Journey behind the false was excellent, and the helicopter flight over the Niagara region is incredible. The falls and Clifton Hill at night are spectacular when the lights are on. Adam Nice, our tour guide, was exceptional. His knowledge of the area is superb, and he is a very friendly and funny guy. I would recommend this tour to anyone, it is good value for your money,(especially with the discount on the helicopter flight), you won't be dissapointed.

5.00The highlight of our holiday! We had no idea what to expect but Adam walked us through the whole day and went the extra mile to make our day special. If you're lucky enough to get Adam, you will have more than a Nice day out.
