All Niagara Falls & Around Tours & Excursions in 2026

Heidi our tour guide was outstanding. A local lady who had a friendly personality and was willing to share her knowledge. Heidi steered us through the most popular attractions, Skylon Tower, Behind the Falls, she timed our trips to beat the queues. We sailed through both attractions with no queues and noticed how big the queues were when were leaving 😍 The Hornblower boat trip was breathtaking, Heidi once again gave us advice where to stand on the boat (bottom level on the right) Most people rush to the top of the ship. We had a fantastic view of the whole area and the option to nip into the inside when the boat hit the worst of the torrential downpour. We were so grateful for her advice. Looking at the people disembarking from upstairs, I imagine they would have to go straight back to their hotels to get changed. Think of somebody pouring a bucket of water over you, over and over again. The little thin plastic ponchos are no match for the power of Niagara. There were lots of option to chooses from when looking at tours, however not knowing the area I wanted the convenience of being picked up and returned to our hotel which Heidi delivered, she was punctual and contacted us the night before to confirm the pickup time and location. Her minivan was spotless. I would highly recommend See Site Tours and if you are lucky enough to get Heidi as your guide you will be guaranteed a great experience. Thank you Heidi for a fantastic experience.

Behind the falls was spectacular. Keep in mind there is some walking involved up to a mile or so. Also be prepared to get very wet on boat ride. Our shoes, Socks, Pant legs were soaked. The ponchos basically kept our shirts, bags dry. Overall a fun experience.

Our tour guide (who told us to call him Phil) was very friendly and informative. He was very relaxed and was quite happy to answer our questions. The tour, including the boat trip, took about an hour and ten minutes. It would probably take longer if the city was busier, I.e. during the summer, due to crowds on the street and queueing for the boat. Because we visited in October there wasn’t a queue. The information provided about Niagara and the falls was interesting, but there wasn’t anything mind-blowing. He actually got some of the figures wrong regarding the height of the falls etc. If we came back we would probably skip the tour and just do the boat ride, which you can book and pay for on arrival. The boat ride was definitely the highlight of our trip to Niagara; prepare to get soaked!
