This is a long walking tour but not fast paced, so comfortable to do. The cruise, walk behind the falls and information about areas around Niagara were good. I had an issue with my booking, but that was with booking staff and not the tour itself.

The places we visited (boat ride and tunnels) were excellent, but the timing wasn’t great. There was way too long between things, our guide did a great job filling this time with facts, but this tour could (and should) be 2 hours shorter.

Marnie was a great tour guide. Unfortunately we have people who were late getting there so I felt like we kept stopping to check on them. Otherwise, everything was good.
