2.00This tour was a rip off. Maid of the Mist tickets are $30.25/adult, Cave of the Wind tickets are $23.00/adult, for a total of $53.25/adult. We paid $66.21/adult to Viator because they promised a "walking tour" of Goat Island, which we thought would include some more interesting information along the way and at each point/attraction, but instead just meant that our guide walked us from point to point. Our guide was a recent high school graduate, and very sweet, but she provided very little interesting information. She did pick up our Cave of the Wind tickets for us while we were on Luna Island, but there was really no line at the ticket booth! The very long line was once you entered Cave of the Winds and are waiting for the elevator down, and the guide has left you by that point! So much for Viator's claim that these are "skip the line" Cave of the Wind tickets! Very devious marketing.
Excellent Complete Tour of Niagara!
