I really liked the guide Peggi. Thanks to her, the experience was perfect with all the humorous explanations and her attitude towards us. She was simply amazing!!! We liked the second part of the attraction less, the descent behind the waterfalls, standing in line and until you arrive you don't see anything, because of the strong current of the water. In addition, I would suggest that you send the customer an option for parking near the meeting point, because we parked in a place that cost us $97 for three hours.

FAQs

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.
