Amazing views of Niagara Falls and knowledgeable your guide - I had a great day visiting Niagara Falls! Roy was a fantastic tour guide, he was friendly, funny, and very knowledgeable about the area - he told us some great facts! The boat ride was a great experience, and it was also lovely to visit Niagara-on-the-Lake and grab a delicious pastry. I had a great day and really enjoyed my visit!

Terrific tour - Fantastic. Booked this at the last minute as my original tour was cancelled the night before. Gaurav was our guide, brilliant and very knowledgeable. Took time out to explain things to the group and also individually. He made sure I got my ticket for behind the Falls as the boat doesn’t go in March. Niagara-on-the-Lake was absolutely beautiful and we got time to go round all the attractions. Really enjoyed it and would recommend this tour.

Terrific - The company I had booked with cancelled the night before and I booked this tour at the last minute. It was fantastic! Gaurav was our guide and he was brilliant. It was a small group which meant everybody got to hear him and he took time to explain things, even on a one to one. Gaurav made sure I got my ticket to go behind the Falls as the bot tour wasn’t on in March. We got time to explore and also seen the gem that it Niagara on the
Lake. Beautiful. Would highly recommend this tour.

Great experience - Great experience although we couldn't visit falls from a boat. However, we visit falls from behind and on the trip back, we did stop in a wine factory

Not as described - I booked the tour mainly because it was the only operator which offered the one-hour Niagara-on-the-lake sightseeing. As per the tour details on Viator “Niagara-on-the-Lake - Enjoy free time for self exploration in the quaint town before heading for wine tasting- 1 hour”. As the tour only had 4 people, my mother, myself and a couple, but it seemed it mainly tailored mainly to the couple’s requirements - as it included a 15-min visit to a Hard Rock Cafe gift shop and a 45-50 minutes helicopter tour , which was not mentioned in any way in the tour itineraries. My poor 78-year old mother, who was unwell with a bad cough, had to wait at the helicopter takeoff field for those 45-50 minutes trying to cope with the huge noise from the frequent helicopter take-off and drop-off. We would have been fine with the temporarily added helicopter tour the couple took, but this was without our prior knowledge, and more importantly, we had only half an hour at the Niagara on the lake instead of 1-hour as advertised. This was truly disappointing as this was the highlight of the tour for us hence our reason of booking this tour.
