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!

Lynn was awesome! Very informative , loved the history of Tesla and the powerful electricity harnessed. The daredevil museum and the stories of those who went over the falls loved it. Going up in the tower was amazing. The view was spectacular. The tunnel and seeing the falls close up. Recommend. 100%. Thanks Lynn for an unforgettable and fantastic time. Where a jacket I. The tunnel it can be chilly.

It is a long walk in the tunnel from the elevator to the landing to see the falls, and it is an amazing view!!!! But it’s uphill all the way back to the elevators!!!

It was worth every cent! The guide, Kevin, was kind and considerate. He was knowledgeable! We enjoyed the history! We would repeat it! It was a unique view of the Falls which cannot be seen from any viewpoint other than the tunnel! Literally a cool experience!
