Our tour guide Linda was absolutely amazing. She was so much fun and so funny! She advocated for our group and looked out for us keeping us all together and made sure we got to skip all the lines and get into every activity quickly and gave us tips and tricks for making each experience as special as possible! She got us onto maid of the mist and helped us secure the BEST spot on the ship for the best view imaginable! Shes been doing this for 45 years and is so knowledgeable and passionate! We had a blast with her! If you want a great Niagara experience you have to book Linda!!!! #teamlinda #wortheverypenny

The tour with Brayden was amazing. You can feel his passion and authenticity. We were able to learn many enjoyable fun facts while seeing the beautiful falls. From the cruise to the journey of the falls, we had a big grin on our faces. We walked away from the tour pleasantly surprised. Also, Brayden gave wonderful recommendations of what else to see and eat to make your trip more memorable.

Mary was FANTASTIC! Friendly, informative, funny, interesting, knowledgeable and more. The walk was very enjoyable. There's a lot to take in and Mary made sure you had the opportunity to see everything possible! Her historical information and "trivia" was a wonderful addition! The boat ride and outside observation deck under the falls were awesome! We had a perfect view for pictures with lots of rainbows! Stunning!

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.
