Excellent tour with a great driver/tour guide. Very informative and had a great time. A truly memorable experience
Guide and driver Mel is a font of knowledge which he shares happily as he drives. He is a genuine and very helpful chap. Trip was well paced.
If you want a hassle free trip to Niagara from Toronto.. this is the trip for you. Our guide Wilfred was simply excellent, gave good recommendations and made the day very easy! 100% recommend
Thank you
Friendly driver who provides interesting commentary. We really enjoyed the pace of the trip. Included stop for maple syrup tasting was pleasant.
Thanks for the 5 star review
Lovely tour, the trip to Maple Leaf Place for a maple syrup tasting was great as was Skylon tower for an amazing view of the falls (for an extra charge - bring cash!). I definitely recommend booking the boat, getting up close to the falls was incredible and you still get time to explore on your own. Our guide, Mel, was amazing giving us loads of history chat, stories from his life, and jokes on the drive over. It was really interesting and he made me laugh several times with his deadpan delivery and it made the long drive much more enjoyable! I particularly enjoyed his story of his 'ufo' encounter and learning about people who have gone over the falls.
That's excellent than you enjoyed Mel's stories. Thanks for the review
We had a great day with Melvin. Everything was very smooth from pick up to drop off. He provides very clear directions. He has a very dry wit and made his tour information quite funny if are you paying attention. Great trip overall. I would recommend this if you want a stress free day trip to Niagara Falls
Thank you - I'm pleased you enjoyed your day with Melvin
Very nice experience I would recommend family and friends on this excursion. Very timely mannered. Our tour guy was very responsible and nice! Very informative! Thank you.
Thanks for your positive feedback!
Great day out, highlights were the Skylon Tower and the Hornblower cruise, you will get wet. Tour guide Mel was excellent.
Thanks for the 5 star review
The attractions were great. You stop at a maple syrup place for tasting , then the skylon tower for a fabulous view of the falls. Then you can spend time at the falls or do the boat trip which we highly recommend it was great. Niagara Falls has a lot of restaurants, arcades and family stuff. Now let’s get to our driver. Melvin from vegreville while knowledgeable was the most boring host of a viator tour that we have been on and we have been on several around the world. His monotone voice for 1 1/2 hours there and back was a cure for insomnia. He brought us kicking and screaming into the 1980s with his laminated cards he brought for show and tell. He regaled us with stories of the falls and of two helicopters crashing with the same tone as he did about his excitement of seeing a wolf up close. All the while clearing his throat repeatedly on mic while he told said stories. One side note viator should say we aren’t allowed coffee on the bus as we all threw away coffees before boarding as everyone brought one for the drive at our 8 am pickup.
Hi Natalie. A lot of our guests appreciate Melvin's dry sense of humour. Too bad you turned it into a negative. Enjoy the rest of your travels
Our Niagra day tour was a great day out. Everything ran to time. The journey was comfortable. Our guide Brukus was helpful and friendly. We loved the horn blower boat trip and the Skylon tower. Plenty of time for lunch in the table rock restaurant.
Thanks Helen for the 5 star review. Glad you had a great day out with Burkus
