Brilliant day. Great guides. Fabulous boat trip

We had a Niagara Falls tour today. There were only 4 of us on the tour and we had a great day. Peter and Danny really looked after us. Smooth journey and loads of information along the way. Considerate breaks given as well. Personally I was very apprehensive about the boat tour but Peter reassured me and listened to my concerns ( I get boat sickness) before explaining that I didn’t need to worry. I went in the boat trip and am so glad I did. It was fabulous. Yes you get wet but again, Peter explained best place to stand to avoid the worst of the spray and still get fabulous views. Don’t be put off by the negative comments about getting wet … it’s manageable and all part of the fun!

A "must-do" activity in Toronto

I learned a lot of new and interesting facts about Toronto during this tour. I also discovered hidden passage ways and local dishes because the tour guide told me of them. The tour guide was very polite and entertaining. Originally from Brazil, but his English was excellent and I understood every bit of it. A great thanks.
