A walk down Niagara's memory lane - It's worth the money. Even if you visit the falls during the day, I would still recommend doing this night tour. The tour guid, Peter, was very knowledgeable, professional, and welcoming. Even though my 5 and 6 year old were running around, he still kept the tour alive and kept them immersed with interest. If you love fun facts, history, and site seeing, I would book this tour.

Parking - Definitely park at state park. Our hotel told us that the trolley would bring us right to cave of winds, it didn't, had to walk over a mile to get there.

Wonderful experience thanks to a passionate guide! - The Mobsters and Mayhem tour was a great way to end our day in Niagara Falls and afforded us the chance to see the falls by night. Our guide, Zac, was obviously very passionate about leading this tour and he seems to love doing more research and increasing his knowledge. He was a terrific guide and we appreciated the fun and interesting stories.

The Falls at night are stunning- bring your walking shoes - My mom, sister, and I planned a trip to Niagara Falls for Mom's 80th birthday. She is in amazing shape and has no problem keeping up with anyone. That being said, there are a lot of steps in this tour. I'm not sure if our tour guide was supposed to inform us of ramps, or any other ways to get down closer to the falls, but he did not. We were able to navigate this, however, I would tweak your listing to let people know there are multiple sets of steps to navigate, I also couldn't find anything on the listing about steps. Peter was our tour guide and he was great. He is well-versed in the history of the park, the falls, and to a lesser extent the mobster portion. The evening was very mild, and the illumination and fireworks were very enjoyable. Communication with our guide and the tour operator was fantastic. Tips: Plan for steps, also, it is windy and a bit chilly right near the falls. Also, don't be afraid to ask people to move out of the way to get your picture. We had to do this several times.

Great Stories and Knowledge on this Tour - This was an end to a long day! This tour was just okay. Starting off the tour guide wasn't dressed in the color of clothing we were expecting so didn't realize he had arrived (email states specific colors). Then some others in the tour went to the wrong place and therefore we had to wait as there was only 1 tour that evening (starting off a little rocky). Our tour guide, Michael, had some great stories and knowledge about the mobsters. We had already seen the falls and walked everywhere, but it was nice to see all the colors and the fireworks. Michael had some suggestions for where to stand/sit for the fireworks. However the fireworks show was only about 5 minutes. This tour is about an hour, but half of the time you are really on your own for viewing falls and fireworks.

Not worth the money - Nice tour guide. Had some funny stories but not long enough or enough information for the price. (Less then an hour. )
