The Light up the Falls was an excellent package. We did this for my wife’s birthday. Our guide was Nickola and he was amazing. He was extremely knowledgeable about the area and very personable The dinner at Table Rock restaurant was amazing. Great service and the meal was delicious and the food was plentiful. Then we went to meet Bill the Light Keeper. He was very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the lighting of the falls. All in all I recommend this package.

This was the exclamation point to the end of an amazing day. The was amazing....portion sizes were way too big, but I guess that is a bad thing. The servers were sweet and let's face there is no better to dine by. The chance to control the lights on the falls was truly an experience. Bill at the lights was so informative and spoke like he had been there from the beginning. Our tour guide Greg was informative and attentive. He made sure we had the best time!

😄 Greg making sure every moment landed perfectly and Bill bringing that remarkable depth of knowledge to the falls lighting experience made for quite a finale to the day!

It was nice but not a “tour” like we think but he was knowledgeable and helpful…..food was delicious
Response from Host, Jun 2026
Glad the knowledge and helpfulness came through, and a delicious meal is never a bad thing! Worth keeping in mind for anyone booking that the format is a little different from a traditional tour. 😊

Super cool to be able to actually control the lights on the falls. Feels almost as powerful as the falls themselves.
Response from Host, May 2026
Being able to control the Niagara Falls lights really does add a whole new layer to the visit, and it’s easy to see why it felt almost as powerful as the Falls themselves.
Matt_M, May 2026
It’ll bring out the little kid in you to have the ability to change the lights on the falls. Put your “cool” away and do it!
As for the dinner, it was good, not great, but we had great company and a super view which made it so much better.
Response from Host, May 2026
We’re happy the view, company, and Illumination Tower experience made the evening feel so memorable, even if dinner was more good than great
Sarah_B, May 2026
Dinner was delicious at Queen Victoria Restaurant. Then to change the lights and learn the history of Lighting Up the Falls from Gene the operator was a unique time that most tourists don’t get to experience.
Highly recommend this!!
Response from Host, May 2026
Gene sharing the history behind the Illumination Tower makes it even more unique, and we’re thrilled this experience stood out so much
Sierra_E, May 2026
It definitely is a unique experience! Dinner was good and lighting up the falls was neat. Having the driver pick us up made it easier
Response from Host, May 2026
Lighting up the Falls is such a one-of-a-kind Niagara experience! It’s great to hear dinner was good and that the pickup made the evening feel easy and relaxed 💡
Susan_W, Dec 2025
It truly was a unique experience and would highly recommend to anyone. Dinner was excellent, however the courses were rushed between each one. This was no reflection on the tour as it was purely the restaurant’s service. Would have loved to have more time at the illumination of the falls.
Response from Host, Jan 2026
We’re so glad to hear the experience felt truly unique and worthy of a recommendation. Thanks for sharing such thoughtful feedback 😊

This was a wonderful experience, especially for first timers. The dinner at Victoria Place Restaurant was fantastic, and of course “I lit up the falls!” They even let us stay up on the tower to watch the fireworks, then dropped us right back at our door to our airbnb. Ebad was a great guide and fun to talk to!
Robin_S, Sep 2025
Excellent tour. Starts with a great dinner on a patio on the Falls. Beautiful setting. The driver then takes you to the lighting tower for a view of the nightly fireworks. Then , the person who controls the lights gives you a lesson. I hit to control the lights. So fun.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience! We’re so glad you enjoyed the patio dinner with stunning falls views at the Table Rock. The the child-like delight of fireworks and then the Falls Lights are always a major hit with all guests on this tour. It’s a unique thrill we love sharing. We hope you made beautiful memories and can’t wait to welcome you back! 😊

This tour was absolutely amazing. It truly surpassed my expectations. Ebad was an outstanding tour guide. He knows his stuff, if you're ever in Canada request him for this tour. 5 star treatment all the way.

Abin was a knowledgeable and friendly guide. Lighting up the falls was fun and we got lucky and there were only three other people there so we had lots of chances to light all the falls. We would have preferred just doing the illumination and skipping the dinner.
Kevin_B, Feb 2025
The driver knew the falls history and was very nice.
Dinner provided at Table Rock was top notch, delicious and ambiance was nice We had a wonderful time. Our day ended with a tour of the control room for the waterfall lights. The gentleman running the lights gave us an entire history of the lighting of the falls dating back from the first time.
Ashley_J, Oct 2024
This is not a tour , you get dropped off to eat and changing the lights consist of clicking a button on an iPad 5 color options and we were pushed out in about 10 minutes.

One of the best attractions we have done, our guide Leila was amazing and full of knowledge. The trip was very intimate considering it was just my wife and I ♥️ it was the most perfect evening, we got to control the lights & front row experience to the fireworks without bumping shoulder to shoulder. Thanks you Leila and Bill ☺️

We were lucky enough to get to see Manish again for our evening tour with Light Up Niagara and he made our experience even more incredible than we could have imagined. Once again, Manish did a phenomenal job of keeping our plans a secret to surprise my husband. He was available when I had questions pertaining to payment at the restaurant (which had great food but service was lacking - and seemed unaware of our predetermined bill). Thank goodness for Manish or we would have accidentally paid twice! He and Gene arranged a special lighting show for my husband, and Manish timed everything so beautifully we were able to pull up at the exact right time to watch the fireworks without having to stand in the cold for too long. I could never thank Manish enough for the incredible experience he helped me create for my husband’s 40th birthday celebration, the only thing I regret was not inviting him to dine with us!
Tip your guides - gratuity is the best way to express gratitude.
Regla_L, Aug 2024
To call this a tour is the biggest misconception and deceiving description I’ve ever seen. This is a taxi ride and definitely not a tour. We were taken to dinner at a restaurant right in front of the falls, the views of course were amazing, the food I must say was one of the worst meals of our lives. Don’t waste your money on this, you can do way better on your own.
Albertina_O, Aug 2024
The tour guide was wonderful and being able to visit with Bill in his little office where he controls Falls lights was amazing.

Would you like to view the Falls Illumination & the Fireworks along with thousands, crammed together, all maneuvering for room to breathe and get good pictures? This tour was the opposite!!! First, you are picked up by a great guide and taken to a very nice restaurant (in case you didn't notice, NO PARKING FEES!). The meal is from a Prix Fixe menu and is not the typical cheap meal...gourmet food at no additional cost. Next, your guide takes you to the Illumination Tower, where the lights come from! You go in the back door---no one else allowed--- and meet Gene, who has been doing the lights for over 10 years. Almost feels like you are getting a "back street pass to the Show"!! Gene gives you a history lesson, then shows and allows you to control the lights on ALL 3 Falls!!! You get to play for a time with the best viewpoint in the area...then view Fireworks! Afterwards, you receive an exclusive certificate for controlling the Illumination (can't get this souvenir anywhere else) and are delivered back to your pickup spot. Can't say enough good things about our guide and about Gene.

Our Tour guide LEILA is very knowledgeable and helpful .
Randall_C, Jun 2024
Amazing experience. Nick shared Niagara Falls history with us and made our tour magnificent!!! A definite must do tour!
Deborah_T, May 2024
Despite inclement weather, the tour was really enjoyable. The dinner/restaurant portion was just okay. I have issues with fixed menus with just a few choices due to food allergies but the food was okay and service was average. The best part is definitely going to the Tower to see how they light up the Falls at night! Really cool! Also got to change the colors ourselves and see the fireworks show.
JACQUELINE_S, May 2024
We had a fantastic experience! Ken was so personable and courteous. We loved the food at the restaurant and enjoyed lighting up the Falls!That was the best part! And the lights inside the van were spectacular!
Valerie_H, May 2024
The dinner view and the history of the falls topped with the ability to control the lighting myself.
Heather_B, Oct 2023
Precious was so informative and helpful. The food was excellent. Controlling the light colors on the falls was a very fun experience, and learning about the history of the lights was an added bonus. Great time!
porfadab, Sep 2023
Controlling the Falls was amazing! Learning about the history of illumination was interesting so you can understand the previous methods. Dinner was so so. Dessert was good.
Susan_N, Aug 2023
Samara was an excellent and very charming guide. She communicated clearly with us and made our tour most enjoyable. She was great! We loved the history at the power plant/falls lights presented by Gene, who also did a great job. Our server, food and the falls view were just great at the Queen Victoria Place restaurant. Just a thought—If possible, bring a hooded rain jacket, even in good weather, because the wind can kick up and cause the falls mist to blow over and feel like rain. We had a wonderful time.
Madison_V, Jun 2023
Perfect date night for me and my husband. It was such a great experience!
Highly recommend this tour.
