Great Tour! Everything I hoped it would be. Great picture of us in helicopter as well! It was worth the money all day long.
This is the best kind of tour and worth every penny. The guide took us to all the locations and then set us free instead of herding us around in a line like children. He also advised us which ones were worth getting photos from. All of the experiences were fantastic, the guide was friendly and knowledgeable and I would recommend to anyone.
This was the ultimate excursion! Seeing Niagara Falls by all angles was fantastic. I would absolutely do this again.
Great deal!! Our guide was very courteous and knowledgeable about the history of the area. There was also no lineups or headaches for each site we visited as he passed out our tickets for each event. I would most definitely hire him again! Tyvm!!
The experience is very much needed. Sonia guided us through the whole experience safely, gave us information and history about our activities and was very professional and friendly. Everything was a awesome experience!!
Sonia was our guide….Amazing experience!! Great conversation! Totally worth the money! The helicopter tour and boat ride are unforgettable experiences..
We were not able to do the helicopter ride due to inclement weather. We were advised that we would receive a refund which we have not yet received. This should have been refunded by Viator to our card. It’s now 6weeks and we have not received this refund
It definitely didn't seem like "skip the line" passes as it claimed. Our driver disappeared and left us sitting at the helicopter place for a half hour after our ride. It's a long tour of waiting, so definitely didn't appreciate the added 30 min. Picked up before 9am, done around 2:30, no lunch.
Amazing experience! Mani was an excellent guide who perfectly timed our experiences with almost no waiting time. Kids especially loved the heli flight- highly recommend this tour!!!!
Brilliant trip from start to finish. We were picked up on time by our driver Yohannes from the collection point and taken to Niagara to meet our guide Vanessa. Both really nice and friendly. We took the helicopter flight first, omg, absolutely fantastic! I believe it’s a must do! To see the falls from the sky was just amazing. We popped into a place to taste all things made with maple syrup! Delicious! We visited the Skylon Tower, the journey behind the falls and then onto the boat. We got a little wet but it was so good! Amazing to see. The only minor criticism would be that you do go from one to the next. It would have been nice just to have maybe 30 minutes just to stand on the street just to look at the falls and take Niagara in. We absolutely loved the trip, I’d go as far to say it was the best day trip we’ve ever done. Totally recommend!
