Wear comfortable walking shoes - all together we walked 4-5 miles. This is a very interesting tour and our guide, Frank, was fabulous. The view from Skylon Tower is amazing but the best part was walking the long tunnel of the old power station and coming out at the mouth of Horseshoe Falls!

We took the tour with Lynn from Viator, but reserved and paid through Tripadvisor. We met at the bottom of Skylon Tower by the Starbucks...easy! There were only 4 of us on the tour and Lynn was very knowledgeable. I didn't realize that the tower was part of the tour, and as I can't handle heights, I did not go to the top, but the pictures taken were incredible. Lynn took the time to catch me up on information that she shared in tower as we walked. The power station was full of information about early Niagara Falls and the area. The walk through the tunnel was cool and we were so close to the falls when we came out the other side. Very informative tour, fun and a good workout too!
