Highly recommend booking this tour, especially with Dan as your tour guide. He was AMAZING! Truly informative and passionate about his job that he’s had for 40 years!!!! Our guide made it very simplistic, and has a solid flow- NO WAITING IN LINES. He was very prepared, friendly and truly made the tour come to life. We will definitely be back with our kiddos, and we plan to book again with Dan! 🫶 Thank you for making our first trip to Niagara Falls so incredible. We won’t forget it!

We had an incredible time on our Niagara Falls walking and boat tour! From going behind the waterfall to experiencing it up close on the boat, every moment was unforgettable. Our host was amazing — so passionate, knowledgeable, and full of fun tidbits that made the tour both educational and exciting.
Even though it was a cold, sleety day, we absolutely loved every minute of it. Thank you for making this such a memorable and inspiring experience!
Response from Host, Nov 2025
Thank YOU for joining us. :) So glad to hear the tour experience shined through the cruddy weather and you had a good time.

Our tour with Dave was fantastic! We did the walking tour that went behind Niagara Falls and included some great stops along the way. + boat at the end. Dave was super knowledgeable, entertaining, and patient - he was basically herding cats but kept everyone together with humor and ease. We learned so many fun facts and bits of history that really made the experience memorable. The timing was perfect - not too long, not too short and we got amazing views and pics. My husband and I were on our babymoon and are so glad we booked this. It’s an absolute must if you’re visiting Niagara Falls! Thanks Dave for a fun adventure!!!
Response from Host, Nov 2025

We booked our tour Fall (Halloween) 2025 at 0930, so needless to say the weather was cold, overcast, and rainy. Despite a gloomy start to the day, our tour guide Dave showed up right on time with the happiest mentality.
We had a tour group of 4 people, ponchos were provided, and umbrellas were offered. Not only did Dave have extensive knowledge of the falls and their history, but he was able to answer any questions asked on the tour. It was really cool that even his family history dates back to the wars between the US and Canada!
Price includes walking tour alongside the river, a couple stops to discuss historical monuments, cave walks underneath (behind) the falls, and wraps up with a boat ride to the falls.
Please be aware that this tour is on the Canada side, so passport is necessary! Definitely worth doing once.
Response from Host, Nov 2025
I'm so happy to hear we were able to brighten up a spooky Halloween day. :) Thank you for booking a tour with us Josie!
