    This was a tour focused on evolution of the generation of hydro electric power. Tesla/Westinghouse and their battle with Edison over AC and DC as the standard form of electricity. Be prepared to do a lot of walking. The guide was really good and added value to the tour.

    We really enjoyed this tour although be prepared for a lot of walking. Kevin was great. He was eager to share his knowledge of the area. Walking through the tunnel at the powerplant and popping out right in front of Horseshoe falls was spectacular!

    This tour is perfect to learn more about the Falls. Deanna was fantastic to explain about the history of the Falls and related interesting stories, and kids were excited to learn about them. Personally, walking the tunnel at the power plant was as great as the journal behind the falls. We highly recommend this tour!
