Jeff was a great guide! Had lots of stories to share making the tour way more interesting than just booking the boat tour on its own!
Had a great time, guide was awesome
We had an amazing time on the boat ride to Niagara Falls! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and getting so close to the falls was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide was friendly, fun, and made the whole trip even more enjoyable with her great energy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Niagara Falls!
Information on where to meet group. The boat was a great experience, but finding the group was hard due to the lack of information.
Enthusiastic tour guide. Definitely underestimated the walking. Boat ride was amazing and was truly all you needed.
Our Tourguide Sarah was just wonderful! She was very knowledgeable, friendly and was accommodating for the older member in our group.
This was awesome. We enjoyed the stories and our tour guide Genille was so kind. We were a big group with a special needs child and she was helpful as we maneuvered all of the activities. Genille told awesome stories and we would take brief breaks along breaks for her to tell us the stories. Would highly recommend to anyone and ask for Genille for your guide. You won’t regret it!!
The whole trip you have to walk to the designated area and behind the falls which is a long distance for people with children and older adults
Great way to hear stories about Niagara. Very nice to not have to wait in any lines because you are on a walking tour.
Had a great time walking around with Linda. She was a local and had the best tips and tricks. Kids had an amazing time!
