Marni had lots of information to share about Tesla, the hydro plants, both retired and operational. She had enough information to satisfy my engineer husband.

Tim was a great wealth of knowledge and told us unknown facts about Niagara Falls. I also like the fact that he was a WPT Champion. Be prepared to walk a lot so wearing comfortable footwear is a must.

There is a lot of walking!! The walk to the end of the tunnel is well Worth it. Gord, the tour guide shares his detailed vast knowledge of the area. Just make sure you meet up at correct place; there are many Starbucks in the same area.

Gord was the best, most knowledgeable tour guide ever! We had done some other tours earlier but didn’t learn anything. Gord taught us things we would not have gotten on some of the other tours.
