Great tour guide! - Ann was fantastic! We had some rogue group mates that dragged the tour on and that is the only reason we gave 4/5 stars. Started at 5, did not leave until 9:40.

The tour was enjoyable.... - The tour was enjoyable. The boat ride is a “MUST”. You will get wet. The “cave of the winds” offered a moist perspective of the falls. You are actually IN the falls!

Not the tour I thought I was getting - I just want to start by saying our guide was great. She was very knowledgeable and has a great personality. This is not a tour with illumination and fireworks. This is a walking tour with a ride on the Maid of the Mist and a visit to the Cave of the winds. Both of those attractions are amazing and a must do if visiting Niagara Falls. Both of these, you can buy tickets for without being on a tour. You do not get a good view of the falls at night on the tour. . The best way to see the Falls lit up is from the Canadian side. The Fireworks are at 10 pm every night in the summer and you don’t need a tour to see them. They are free. You do not get anything special by being on the tour. The title of this tour is false advertising. Save your money and go and buy the tickets yourself for The Maid of the Mist and The Cave of the Winds. If you do take any tours don’t forget to tip your guide!
