Instructions about where...

Instructions about where to meet were not clear. There was a kiosk for small group tours in the lobby (We're a small group) and that's where we thought we would be. Instead, the desk was hidden away on the side and we didn't realize we were in the wrong place until 10-15 minutes past the rendezvous time. The tour is strenuous in that it is long and there is no where along the route to sit. Visitors should be advised that it could be hard for some people

Great walking tour...

Great walking tour including behind the falls and boat. The guides are friendly, knowledgeable and funny. Our guide Santiago was excellent. I would recommend the website indicate how much walking there is because some older people were struggling, but Santiago made sure they had enough time to recoup.

Poorly timed

The tour guide was very sweet and informative. We were only spending one day at the falls and had a lot planned. The tour was supposed to be over at 3:30pm but we were just getting to the cruise line at that time. We waited about an hour before having to leave since we had another tour at 5pm. Lost out on $200 dollars since we missed the cruise. Would not book with them again since I could of timed it out better.
