Great Tour Guide Linda. Personal touch due to family history of tour and Niagara. Plenty of other information pertaining to Niagara region. As one of our fellow tourers said, I think we struck lucky with this guide.

Linda was great! You can tell she is very knowledgeable and passionate about her job. The boat ride and behind the falls was a great tour if you are looking for something shorter.

Linda, our guide provided a great deal of entertaining information. Her tip to proceed to the lower level bow of the boat really paid off for a most exciting experience.
It is a very long walk from the boat ride terminal to the journey behind the Falls location . The viewing platform there is worthwhile as you stand just meters away from the edge of the waterfall. The walk through the tunnels to get to a viewing portal behind the fall was not impressive…..
But the whole experience was worthwhile and highly recommended .

Is this tour in Canada or the United States?
This tour takes place in Niagara Falls, Canada and includes experiences on the Canadian side of the Falls, such as the Niagara City Cruise. Guests will need to be in Canada at the time of the tour and ensure they have the appropriate travel documents if crossing the border from the U.S.
How much walking is involved on this tour?
This tour covers approximately 2 miles at a steady pace, with minimal stops along the way. While we pause briefly at key viewpoints, most of the tour involves walking between attractions to stay on schedule. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and being prepared for a full walking experience.
Is this tour suitable for wheelchair users or guests with limited mobility?
We do not recommend this tour for wheelchair users or guests with pushchairs. The fast-paced nature of the itinerary—designed to ensure we cover several landmarks in a short amount of time—can be challenging for those with limited mobility. However, the tour is stroller accessible for families traveling with young children.
