This personal guided tour with Asif was fantastic! Asif offered to began our tour a little earlier because of a possible storm which was thoughtful. He was extremely personable and went above and beyond to make sure our tours were memorable! The Niagara Falls, Skylon & Maple/chocolate tasting tours were perfect!

Concierge type service as there was only two of us at this time. The tour and insights were appreciated and our guide did everything for us to make sure we saw everything and more! Highly recommended!

A fun but definitely very wet experience on the boat ride. You really become at awe at the beauty of the Horseshoe Falls. Our guide Asif was terrific…. he was also kind enough to drop us off at the train station. Would recommend.

Nothing but the best.

Lisa_B, Jul 2026
This was a great tour. All the top things to see on my list. Asif was very accommodating as our hotel was changed due to flooding, we were moved to a different hotel. I messaged him our new hotel and he confirmed pick up there. He took us to the Skylon tower, maple tasting and the boat tour. At all locations he walked us right up to the front, skip the lines. My husband has mobility issues and he helped him get through the crowds. I would highly recommend this tour. Asif also gave us tips on how to get to places we wanted to visit later.

Boat tour and tasting

Yan_J, Jul 2026
Super fun experience. Great for the entire family,did not disappoint.I would Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting for the first time.

One of the best tours we have taken!

Great tour and guide

Richard_L, Jul 2026
Asif our guide was very personable and attentive- made our tour informative and humorous. Would certainly recommend

Asif is the best guide!!

SaraA_H, Jul 2026
Asif was our guide and he was fantastic!! Not only did he give us the best information about our stops but told us about other venues we might be interested in. He’s also the best photo set up guy ever!!! He helped ladies that weren’t even in our group to get fantastic photos. Truly, an all-Around great guy. On the boat ride, he didn’t come on the boat but he told us the best place to stand to get the most out of the tour. The gentleman and 2yr old son got the benefit of Asif’s generosity and care for his customers. The guy didn’t have a car seat at the pickup point for his son. Asif drove to the guy’s Airbnb to allow him to get it!!! I can’t say enough good things about Asif. If you get him to do your tour, you’re in great hands!!!

Skip the lines!!

Kyle_M, Jul 2026
It was overall a great experience!! We skipped the lines and got the good spots to see and experience everything!! We had a 2 year old so needed a car seat which we didn't have but guide Asif took us to our car so we could get it. Asif was friendly and knowledgeable!!

Very fun and interesting...

Robin_M, Jul 2026
Very fun and interesting day from the Skylon tower to the boat experience finishing with maple and chocolate tasting

Not Even Close To What We Thought We We Paying For

dave_j, Jun 2026
Three hours in a persons personal van, with a heavy accent telling and showing us the Niagara area. I didn’t realize that was what I purchased. Hopefully we can get s credit of some kind?

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi there. Sorry to hear you are unsatisfied with our service. We try our best to give the best experience, all our guides are trained and certified by Niagara Parks.

Fantastic tour

Kerry_M, Jun 2026
You are going to get wet at the falls. Don’t pay the extra money at the bird kingdom to hold the bird, it’s not worth it. Our tour guide was fabulous.

Great Falls trip

Sharena_R, May 2026
Asif was a great tour guide. He had an excellent personality and was very knowledgeable about the area attractions. He made us feel just like we were friends on vacation with him. I will definitely recommend him for future trips.

Falls

Beth_R, May 2026
Excellent experience. Tour guide treated us like VIP's. Was able to get close parking so didn't have to walk far.

Great tour guide

Amanda_G, May 2026
Asif was a great tour guide! We had so much fun and so glad we found his tour. We were able to do so much in a short period of time we were in Niagara Falls

Disappointed

sue_h, May 2026
There was no boat experience as the Canada side had not opened ( even though it was 20 degrees at end of April ). It should be made very clear that the boat trip may not be included ( why take bookings for something that Viator know is not available ? ) - it was replaced with wine tasting, not quite the same. Our guide was very charming and apologetic about there being no boat tour, however, i felt disappointed with the whole thing.

Response from Host, Sep 2026

Hi Sue. Sorry to hear this. I understand your frustration. Usually the boat officially opens on May 1st, however due to the cold weather the date for opening was extended to May 8th by the Niagara Region which is out of our control. I offered you a full refund or different tour options, we reached an agreement on the Niagara on the Lake Wine tasting tour. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

Misleading descriptions

kealiyah_g, Mar 2026
The tour guide was kind but we didn’t appreciate the description being misleading as no boat tour is offered during winter season. Was forced to do other excursions that we didn’t want to and wasn’t worth the money we paid.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

Hi Kealiyah, I’m sorry to hear you were unhappy with the excursions. However, it is clearly stated when booking the tour that the boat is closed during winter and runs seasonally. Regards

SMALL Group - Perfect Day!

Diane_F, Oct 2025
SMALL Group! Support a small business and enjoy the benefits of a small tour group. This tour takes a maximum of 12 people. We arrived at the end of tourist season, and we were the the only ones to book for the day. No waiting in lines. The guide was very knowledgeable and flexible. It's easy to schedule a custom trip. We had a PERFECT day!

Great tour

Linda_N, Jul 2025
Asif was a wonderful host. He was prompt, communicative, knowledgeable and funny. He knew the best spot for us to stand on the boat, and made sure we got there. It was a great morning and we were glad for his experience and knowledge.

Ready to be drenched?

Julie_R, Jul 2025
Amazing. Don’t wear make up! It is mind boggling the force of nature in these falls. We were met on time by our guide. By taking this tour we were expedited through the lines

Nice tour but??

Ken_C, Jun 2025
We had a great time but specifically asked for a hotel Pick up n drop off due to issues with walking. Hotel pick up was fine but we’re told about half way thru tour that they didn’t due drop off services. Disappointed. Pretty sure we paid for both but didn’t get a statement that explained it. Guide was very good, but recommend that he shouldn’t explain the points of interest until ALL OF US are on site. We walk slow so always got there in time to start the to the next point.

Phenomenal Fall adventure

Natasha_M, Jun 2025
You will get water but, it was so mind blowing and such an amazing experience. We will be back. 😊 Next time we will bring the grandkids

Michele_S, May 2025
Prepare to get wet. I recommend water shoes and a rain coat or rain suit. If it's cold out, perhaps gloves.

Asif is awesome! Amazing VIP experience!

Grant_F, May 2025
Asif was amazing! We were able to laugh, relax and enjoy everything! He helped take pictures and was very knowledgeable. Wish he was at every place we visited around the world. Best tour guide we have ever had! Definitely recommend!
