Our tour operator David was good. He was knowledgable, insightful and professional. The operator showed us the best place to see Niagara falls lit up as well as the fireworks. I would definitely recommend this to those visiting Niagara Falls.

Great guidance and avoided traffic to lines. Thanks!!!………………………… Knew what to do and avoid. …………….!!!!!!!!!
I just want to start by saying our guide was great. She was very knowledgeable and has a great personality.
This is not a tour with illumination and fireworks. This is a walking tour with a ride on the Maid of the Mist and a visit to the Cave of the winds. Both of those attractions are amazing and a must do if visiting Niagara Falls. Both of these, you can buy tickets for without being on a tour. You do not get a good view of the falls at night on the tour. . The best way to see the Falls lit up is from the Canadian side. The Fireworks are at 10 pm every night in the summer and you don’t need a tour to see them. They are free. You do not get anything special by being on the tour.
The title of this tour is false advertising. Save your money and go and buy the tickets yourself for The Maid of the Mist and The Cave of the Winds.
If you do take any tours don’t forget to tip your guide!
Anne, our tour guide, was energetic, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We enjoyed the boat ride and The Cave of the Winds.
Ann was fantastic! We had some rogue group mates that dragged the tour on and that is the only reason we gave 4/5 stars. Started at 5, did not leave until 9:40.
It was amazing, the maid of the mist boat ride was an incredible experience, and I was fascinated with the cave winds experience especially the hurricane deck
This was and awesome experience paul the tour guide was very informative and and also helped take pictures made the experience with my family very happy thank you
The tour was enjoyable. The boat ride is a “MUST”. You will get wet. The “cave of the winds” offered a moist perspective of the falls. You are actually IN the falls!
We paid for the 3 hour illumination tour with cave, and got about an hour tour with no illumination or cave. The guide spoke to his manager and she told him we’d all have to call customer service. No explanation, just a waste of time.

I found the tour delightful and Skipper Tom is an absolute delight. He actually made the tour so enjoyable and accessible for my mother who can’t walk very fast.
