It was nice that it started with a view from the Skylon tower. The end of the tunnel at the falls was so cool. Loved the tesla coil at the power station.

My husband and I enjoyed the tour, which was well organized, and led by a knowledgeable and enthusiastic tour guide. We loved her stories, especially the ones about Nicola Tesla, when we stopped by the Tesla statue. The most memorable part of the tour was seeing a perfect rainbow over the horseshoe falls at the end of the tour, just as our guide had predicted. Thank you.

John was a great guide. He was so knowledgeable not only about the walking tour’s points of interest, but he was able to give us a little information about other parts of the Niagara Falls area. The information given on the views from the SKYLON Tower, Nikola Tesla, and the power station were truly fascinating. 10/10 experience.

We enjoyed our tour with Mary. She was very personable and knowledgeable. We appreciated her enthusiasm and making sure she knew where everyone was from. This helped get the guests talking amongst ourselves and meeting new friends. There were 17 on the tour. Audio volume was good, pacing was good. Mary was early and waiting for everyone at least 15 minutes before the tour.

I loved this. The tunnel was amazing! Best view of the falls that you can get over here! Our guide was friendly and very knowledgeable about the power plant. It was educational with an amazing view. Perfect!

Our tour guide Phil was great! Very knowledgeable My only recommendation would be to allow for more than 2 hours as there is so much you can still explore after the tour officially ends.

The combination of the view from the Skylon tower and walk thru the tunnel to view the falls make this a must see tour.
