Best Skipper we could have asked for!! - Skipper Tom was a fantastic tour guide his historical knowledge and willingness to go the extra mile made the tour well worth it. The maid of the mist boat ride is a must to experience the force of the falls was a 5 star experience! My only disappointment was that when looking at illumination tour online it made it look like you were on the boat at night. That is not the case. Also if you can the Canadian side IS for sure the better side to view from land.

Sunset and Illumination - Amazing!! Illumination tour with Skipper Tom was spectacular. Sunset over the falls was more magnificent than the lightning Illumination but perhaps in more darkness that would too. Skipper Tom is full of knowledge and really looked after our group.

A must do tour the night illuminated tour with the company “Over the Falls Tour”ask for Kevin and be part of his Krew :) - We had a great experience with our tour. The tour started off with a warm welcome from our great tour guide Kevin. Our group was referred to as “Kevin’s Krew”. I thought that was really cool. Kevin provided so much history about Niagara Falls and the surrounding areas. I learned a lot from our tour guide. He kept the tour interesting and fun. He was mindful of the needs of his customers while on the van by asking if we were comfortable with the air conditioning. When we would stop and walk certain areas he always made sure he was walking at a pace that accommodated everyone. Kevin is a very thoughtful tour guide because he takes in considerations everyone’s well being.

Breathtaking experience - Our tour operator David was good. He was knowledgable, insightful and professional. The operator showed us the best place to see Niagara falls lit up as well as the fireworks. I would definitely recommend this to those visiting Niagara Falls.

Great Tour - Our driver was Susan Hogan. She was a great source of Falls information and history. She also went out of her way to make things easier for my wife that has mobility problems. Be awsre that later in the evening, restrooms may be locked. Also, snack shops are closed and the ones that are open are expensive (water for $5). Take water and snacks with you.
