Powerstation tunnel is a must do

Very enjoyable tour, but we had trouble finding the meeting spot as the geolocation was not correct. Make sure you go to where they sell tickets to the skylon tower to meet. Powerstation tunnel is very cool and where it comes out by the bottom of the falls is way better than the behind the falls tour. Guide had lots of great pictures of all the power plants over the years.
Must do activity at Niagara Falls.

Walking tour that happens rain or shine. Great guide and learned all about Tesla and the first hydro- electricity plant. Fabulous museum that included tunnel to base of horseshoe falls. Must do activity. Gord was our guide with Walks and he was knowledgeable and entertaining.
Easy walk & informative

Easy walking tour. Philip was informative and knowledgeable. Even in the rain it was fun, because we were getting wet from the falls anyway
Very Disappointed - could not find guide due to missed information

We were unable to join our travel guide as we were not given the proper information from Viator to meet the guide. Viator has yet to give us a refund. We stood at the address outside in the rain.
Phil rocked!

This walking tour was very well done. I will credit Phil, our guide, for that! It was not a cookie cutter tour, it involved information you will not read in the plaques. The only downside which is not the tours fault, is the power station did not tell us when the shop closed, so we were unable to grab a token of our visit. We had kids ranging from 9 to 15, they all enjoyed it.
