5.00Dexter was the perfect guide! My 87 year old mom almost fell and he caught her! He went the extra mile as our guide and we are so grateful to him. From start to finish, he made it an unforgettable experience!

5.00My family and I were upgraded from the walking tour to the bus tour with handsome Dan and we couldn’t have been happier with the entire day! He was so informative, pointed out/showed us additional spots along the way that we weren’t expecting to see, had us laughing the whole time. Dan made the experience even more memorable than we could’ve imagined. I would recommend this tour to anyone and everyone! The views, getting to feel the power of the falls so close up, there was nothing like it in the world! Thank you to the entire company for making an amazing memory for us all to remember! Especially our guide, handsome Dan, thanks so much, we had the best guide possible in our opinion :)
If nothing else, take the MAID OF MIST RIDE
