Excellent
We had Deanna and she was knowledgeable, friendly and kind. We loved our walking tour and learnt a lot. Walking away with knowing the area with Deanna's help made the trip so much better. We didn't realise Niagara was more than just the waterfall. Thank you Deanna

Our guide, Deanna was fantastic. She was witty and clever making the tour both interesting and informative. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour and most especially the Power Station. The views at the end of the tunnel were amazing. We love how everything flowed together nicely from the Skylon Tower to the Power Station and all stops between. We cannot say enough good things about this tour.

Mary was amazing. She is knowledgeable and is passionate about Niagara Falls and the history and beauty. She truly cares about her people too. I have a bad back and she worked in places to sit along the way. Sue checked on everyone to make sure they were comfortable! I would highly recommend Mary for any future tours.

Our tour guide, Gord, was excellent. Very informative and entertaining! It is a lot of walking but there are numerous stops along the way so it's not overwhelming.
