Never knew you could get behind the falls. Such a different perspective for the flow of water. Loved every minute of it.

Tour guide was great. Paid for the boat experience and didn’t have it.

J'ai rejoint le Niagara Falls Walking Tour et il s'est avéré être l'une des meilleures façons de vraiment vivre les chutes! Le guide nous a conduits le long des sentiers panoramiques du côté canadien, s’arrêtant à tous les meilleurs points de vue – de Table Rock aux magnifiques jardins et au bord des chutes Horseshoe. Nous avons appris des faits intéressants sur l'histoire et la géologie du Niagara, pris beaucoup de photos, et apprécié des vues rapprochées imprenables sans la foule des grands tours en bus. Le rythme était confortable, et notre guide était compétent et attachant. C’est une façon détendue et immersive d’apprécier de près la puissance et la beauté des chutes. Je recommande vivement de porter des chaussures confortables – il y a pas mal de marche!

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.
