Everything about this... - Everything about this tour was phenomenal. Pickup location was only a 7 minute walk from my hotel and easy to find. Lina was an amazing tour guide. Niagara Falls was beautiful and a memory I will forever cherish.

Lovely day out - Highly recommend this tour. A stress free day and getting to enjoy all the activities with time limits which still allowed you to leisurely enjoy each part of the tour without the ‘panic’ of clock watching. Our tour guide Winston was friendly, and clear with the instructions he gave to our bus. The only part personally I would want in more detail is an itinerary in an order of events before the day began. But sometimes things don’t go to plan therefore making this harder to provide! If you’re thinking about booking this, do it.

Absolutely awesome - We visited Niagara Falls today and what an unforgettable experience! We did the boat trip and Journey Behind the Falls activities - absolutely incredible, wow. Our tour guide Andy was energetic, organised and really knowledgeable, and kept us entertained with great tunes in the minibus too. We came all the way from Australia and the whole day was so enjoyable from start to finish. With 3 kids in tow, they loved every minute. What a day!

A very good tour! - It’s worth your money. Our tour guide “Captain” is very knowledgeable and helpful. We got to ride Hornblower and went behind the falls, both are highly recommended attractions.

Wonderful day at Niagara Falls - We had an exceptional experience on this remarkable site. The proximity to the falls was an awe-inspiring experience. The sheer power of the falls was breathtaking, and I was eager to visit and witness it firsthand. I was thoroughly satisfied with my visit.

Good tour, good price, and you get what you pay for - I was given details about the pickup spot, but the details didn't mention that multiple tour buses also picked up there and that we should be careful about getting on the right bus. It was my fault for not checking for a "QUEEN" sign on the front, but when a bus arrived we just moved with the herd. That tour guide called my husband's name (he was calling first names only) so we got on that bus. A few minutes later we were told we were on the wrong bus, so we hustled over to the correct Queen bus. Perhaps because we were then a few minutes late, we missed some of the details the tour guide had already given, so it was confusing when she said that some people had not booked any tours. I didn't realize the bus contained passengers with different itineraries, but eventually we figured it out. The drive to the Falls was fine and uneventful. This was a Friday, and our guide said that Fridays are best for traffic. Our guide also kept encouraging people to purchase the tours, that it would be a shame to come all that way and not go on any tours. There was a trio of passengers who didn't book any tours, and she seemed almost like she was shaming them. I found this to be really "sales-y" and it was a turn off. The combination of the Journey Behind the Falls and the Boat trip were great. In hindsight I wish we had done the Tower for more perspective on the Falls and where all that water comes from. I had hoped to learn more about the Falls from our guide in order to tie everything together, but she was really just a driver, and she did a great job getting us to our destinations without issue. The ride home took 2.5 hours. At this point, the bus was hot with direct sun coming through the big windows. I recommend sitting on the passenger side of the bus so the afternoon sun doesn't hit you on the drive back. We were in the very back row which was fine for an hour or so, but after 2.5 hours it was very cramped, and my husband and I are relatively small people. (I had even sought assurance via chat before booking the tour that the vehicle would not be cramped, and they assured me it was a luxury-type vehicle and not cramped, which it was not.) Later, we realized we spent about the same amount of time on the road as we did at the Falls. I know this isn't the fault of the tour company, but just something to keep in mind for this type of day tour from Toronto. Overall it was worth the price and we saw what we needed to see. Aside from our initial boarding issue, and the cramped space in the back of the van that didn't agree with my 60-year-old knees, all worked out fine.
