The VIP tour was amazing and totally worth the extra cost over the regular tour. We were the first on the boat and skipped ahead for the journey under the falls. No waiting in lines. Our tour guide, Sarah, was the best! She was enthusiastic and seemed to be just as excited about the tour as we were! She was very knowledgeable and shared some interesting history and stories.

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.
How much walking is involved on this tour?
This tour covers approximately 1.2 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 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 should I dress for this tour?
This tour takes place entirely outdoors, regardless of weather conditions. We recommend dressing appropriately for the season. Winter months in particular can be quite cold, be prepared to remain outside for the majority of the tour’s duration.
