We went at night. The new light show in the big hallway was spectacular. This is one of the things in Niagra Falls you need to do. Be ready to walk a while. The tunnel is long, but very worth it. It's education and amazing.

Very educational, funny, and interactive. Would definitely recommend to folks to learn about hydropower at Niagra Falls

We met Tim at the rendezvous point and from that moment it was full on information. I’d say a stand out guide to all that is Niagra but also Canada to! Our first time in Canada so we had lot of questions about the country and traditions all expertly explained . We shared stories of our experiences to and this banter made for a truly excellent experience. Thanks again Tim ����

I always like to add a little education to my visits. It was very interesting to learn about the power station. And if you don't mind doing a little extra walking, definitely do the tunnel. Kids will love its ominous feel as you trek your way back to the base of the falls...underground. Very cool.

This is definitely a must do attraction in Niagara. It is informative, interesting and above all exhilarating. So cool to be under the water & than see the falls from the bottom. The power of the water! Wow! A +++

Deanna was awesome. We really enjoyed some of the history and took her advice afterwards to drive along the road a bit to see the new power plant by the International crossing.

Phil was fantastic! Full of knowledge and insight to the niagara falls area. Super informative and comprehensive tour. Was aware of safety when crossing streets.
Notre guide, Deanna, a vraiment pris le temps de nous présenter les lieux que nous visitions ainsi que l’histoire qui s’y rattache. Elle nous a raconté les faits historiques ainsi que de savoureuses anecdotes, appuyées par des photos d’archives fascinantes! Deanna est passionnée par son sujet et partage ses connaissances de façon dynamique. C’est très intéressant de faire cette visite avec elle: on recommande cette activité de découverte, vous ne serez pas déçus!
