On this full-day tour, we arrive early at Niagara Falls to maximize on your experience and avoid the larger crowds. Take your skip the ticket line and hop on a Niagara Cruise boat with your keepsake poncho or the Journey Behind the Falls excursion, depending on the season (if option selected). Cruise up Niagara River for up-close views of the awesome Horseshoe Falls. Join your English-speaking guide for lunch (if option selected) - taking in views above the falls.

Overall Positive but Things to Consider!

Great host, Roger! Very helpful! Loved the places we visited! Timings were good! Two things that were a real disappointment were that we never got to go on a proper coach. Instead we were on a minibus and certain parts of the journey were uncomfortable as well as the fact there were no seatbelts which did not make us feel particularly safe. Rather than a bumpy ride on an old minibus, a decent coach would have been better.

Fabulous falls tour!

As a group of friends, we had a wonderful experience with this company! Our host, Alex and driver, Sahmir made the day seemless and highly enjoyable. They provided clear communication, humour and interesting local history/ geography. Very glad we booked this tour rather than attempting to sort the day ourselves. A day we will not forget!!!! Highly recommend if you are thinking about booking.
