Outstanding experience

Perfect tour package for me: all the benefits of having a guide, no waiting in line to get tickets, no worrying with parking and hitting all the important sites efficiently; without what many tour guides do--talk too much. Johnny struck the perfect balance, he provided us with pertinent information about each site and Niagara Falls in general, but he didn't walk around with us and talk is to death. He answered every question I (or the others) sent his way. I was able to enjoy the beauty and majesty of Niagara Falls, with great information and insight provided by Johnny. I love being to stop and enjoy each spot, and not feel herded along like cattle. This is a great package for those of us who want information and independence to take it all in Johnny was outstanding, I could not have had a better guide or experience today. I plan to come back in the winter to take in the Fort Niagara tour. Highly recommend Jupiter Legend and Johnny if you, like me, want to enjoy the sites and not have someone talking over the moment. My experience was the perfect balance!

Breath Taking

The trip my husband and I took was a well mapped out trip. We saw both the US snd Canadian side of Niagara Falls. Our trip advisor Johnny was amazing he was very knowledgeable, friendly and patient. We saw and learned a lot from him on our tour of Niagara Falls. The tour is very reasonable and you get to see things you don’t even hear about to see.

Fantastic tour

What a fantastic day out. Our guide Johnny was really friendly and knowledgeable. All the stops on the tour were excellent. It really is worth doing this tour and seeing the falls from both the USA side and the Canadian side the overall view from Canada is breathtaking but the boat trip and the very up close (and wet!) view you get from the USA stops were amazing. Highly recommend. In fact I have already passed on details to a family member hoping to travel to Buffalo soon!

The best tour to Niagara Falls

AWESOME! Johnny was so accommodating when I needed to change dates due to severe weather forecast. Johnny did everything he could to make it work for me. The tour itself was fabulous. I really feel like I saw it all with both sides of Niagara Falls, Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds, which are the major attractions. Then we went to the Skylon Tower and got the inside tip about the buffet. Well worth it!
