Experience of A Lifetime

5.00Excelllnt day out led by the wonderful host and driver Haroon An absolutely stunning experience that we will treasure Bus comfortable plenty of leg room Do leave plenty of time to get to the meeting point as the traffic was horrendous from out of town Not the season for the floral clock to be in full bloom in June but a great start and it continues in hourly blocks with plenty of time for toilet breaks and additional experiences that he communicates well - the cable car was worth paying the extra for sure Take in the advice about footwear and appropriate clothes whilst the poncho’s did keep some of the water off we were still soaked through in both experiences but it’s all part of the experience to enjoy the sights and there was lots of time dry off after the boat tour with a nice cold beer Would definitely recommend them and plenty of people on the VicG who hadn’t paid for alll experiences had plenty of opportunities to buy tickets off Harroon at each stop Top marks PS I was able to communicate directly to Haroon about being stuck in traffic and he made it very easy to be reassured all would work out well , we even beat him in the end as he was stuck in the same traffic hell so bravo to him BETTER THAN ANTICIPATED
This tour was amazing!...

5.00It was a great experience with Airlink Niagara Falls tour. Our tour guide is very kind and has given pretty enough information about History of Niagar falls and all facilities. Thanks for everything!
Beautiful place with lots of people

5.00Fantastic view of the waterfalls and it is possible to get really close to the fall itself. We had a good guide on the trip and plenty of time to see the waterfalls. The boat trip was fun and at the same time a wild and wet experience. Helicopter ride over the waterfalls can be highly recommended - a fantastic view and super experience.
