Great guide - Guide was really nice and knowledgeable. Explained the history of the falls and surrounding areas and carried a folder to visually show us some of the things he was explaining! We loved the boat ride, expected more of the journey behind the falls but has nothing to do with the tour. We went in November and it was REALLY cold

A ride inside a water rainbow. - This is a must do at Niagara. Its not just a boat trip, its falls immersion. You actually experience the falls up close. Loved it.

Great experience - This event was great and our guide "Gordon" was the best and has a teacher background and knowledgeable and gave insight along the way. The part that was missing was an outside observatory deck like 4 pictures as a close up overlook of the falls. That part did not happen and I am curious as to why?
