Freezing, breathtaking, exhilarating and fun. Niagra tick - As a family we went to Niagra with so many stories and views of how amazing it is, but they really cannot describe the breathtaking awesomeness of the place. Wow wow wow 👌 👏
The power of the water is mesmerising and just the sheer fun of the spray, which was below zero cold and froze everything it touched including clothes and hair for those who have some.
The Niagra take flight is a real spectacle and a worthwhile addition for the winter months, very cool.
The walk behind the falls is also an eye opener to see the sheer speed with which the water descends. Another cool addition
If you are fortunate enough to go wrap up as it is flippin freezing and you will get wet and cold.
Our guide Moose was great and had endless facts about Niagra and Canada, was a great experience all round and can highly recommend the Seesight tours especially if you get Moose 🫎. Also the Maple Syrup and Chocolate tasting was an added bonus, plus can try Iced Wine, which for me and my girls was far too sweet
All in all, fabulous and a definite 10/10 👍, winter is the time to go to beat the crowds if you can brave the cold 🥶
Moose is 5 star guide

Amazing trip well worth the money. - Wow what can I say?
We were lucky to be the only 2 on this booked trip, apparently people don't go in December!
Had Heather as our driver and guide and she was just perfect!
Yes it was cold stated at -12 warmed up to -6!
It took around 1.40 hours to get there. We were collected at 7am from our hotel And were back about 3.30 ish.
We had an amazing day and would do it again for sure if we ever come back to Toronto!
Well worth the money. If you go wrap up warm.

Great Tour that is Worth the Cost - There was only my husband and myself on this tour which was wonderful for us. Malvina was a great tour guide & since there was only the 2 of us, our experience was customized to meet our needs, but we got to see and do everything advertised. I'm very glad we had the tour rather than trying to do everything on our own because finding everything & parking would have been a struggle.

Niagara full day tour - An excellent experience and well worth a day of your holiday.
The tour operator was very accomodating for pickup locations with Ehsaan meeting me outside my accomodation. During the drive through the city of Toronto and the county of Niagara he gave a chronicle of urban development, local industries and the geography of the area.
Visiting each of the sites around Niagara the tour group had plenty of time, with tickets prepared in advance so no need for queuing. With the cost of what is included it's excellent value for money.
Thanks for a great day.

Falls - It’s a full and fun day. The guide was very knowledgeable about the Falls and also Toronto. He was a good driver and the van was clean. We had a wheelchair and there should have been a step stool . It was difficult getting in and out. A steep stool would have made it much easier. Also the driver should not talk politics!!

We’ll organise and delivered on what was promised. - Good tour very comprehensive and heather planed the timings of each of the activities to be at the best times so we could the falls at there peak. Would highly recommend this tour was not rushed and we saw a lot and learnt a bit.
