Absolutely fantastic! We didn't go in the day to compare however, the lights at night and standing at the bottom of the falls were spectacular.

One of a kind exclusive experience

Melissa_R, Jun 2026
Amazing! The power plant at night was very cold and lighting up Niagara was one of the highlights of our trip. Really appreciated our guide Oscar

Response from Host, Jun 2026

Oscar helping make lighting up Niagara one of the trip highlights is a memory that sticks around long after the cold wears off! 🌟

This was a great tour! We...

This was a great tour! We enjoyed the Power Station and the food was great! The best part was the illumination tower! Highly recommend this tour!

Response from Host, May 2026

The Illumination Tower is such a memorable highlight, and it’s great that the Power Station and food were hits too! So pleased this Niagara Falls tour delivered a night worth recommending 💡

Skip this sham!!!!

Roxanne_W, Apr 2026
Don't waste your money here, please. It will be both more economical and pleasant to just book these components on your own. Just call Table Rock, book a reservation for 6pm. Then head to the electric station arrive by 8pm. You can book in advance or just buy tickets while you're there. The illumination component is the highlight. Im not 100% sure if you can book that on your own so maybe just ask this company to book illuminations only (super cool for the kids to control the lights), The vendor and its agents are very disorganized and aloof. This vendor tried to cancel the dinner portion of our tour a day before we arrived, claiming the restaurant was to blame but then I called the restaurant and they said the company never reserved for us but we could just walk in….we did just that. The meal was meh but the view is spectacular! Then we met our tour guide Carlos. He was very friendly but completely incompetent and seemed to have trouble communicating - which is tough if you’re a tour guide. Carlos botched our electric station appointment and made us miss the light show which the boys were really looking forward to! Like above, illuminations at the end was great though.

Response from Host, Apr 2026

We’re truly sorry to hear about your experience and the frustration it caused. We understand how disappointing it must have been to deal with the dinner confusion, missed timing at the power station, and overall disorganization If you have not already, please reach out to our team directly or through your booking platform so we can review your experience in detail and work toward making this right.

Experience was great BUT they forgot to pick us up

Tanya_P, Jan 2026
Lighting up the falls was really cool. I see some other reviews that say it wasn’t much. Yes, you’re pressing buttons on a touch screen, but you’re living a once in a lifetime experience. Dinner was great - you are sat with the other couples/families on the tour at dinner. This was a bit awkward but we made it work. I wouldn’t do a tour package again just because of that little detail. If you’re not socially awkward, it’s fine. The tunnel and power station were cool. The best part of the tunnel is the view of the falls at the end. The two things that I didn’t like were being sat at a table with strangers, and they changed tour guides the day of the tour and didn’t communicate that to the driver so we missed the first part of the tour and met the other family on the way to dinner which didn’t really give us time to warm up and made dinner uncomfortable.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Thank you for taking the time to share such detailed and honest feedback. We’re also happy to hear you enjoyed the tunnel and power station, especially that final view of Niagara Falls. We understand how this affected the flow of your evening and made dinner feel awkward. Please know that we will be looking into this thoroughly to improve communication and coordination moving forward.

Enjoyed my tour, but part of it got canceled without a refund to date.

Bruce_M, Sep 2025
We enjoyed the tour that we were able to take of our package. An hour before our tour was to start. We got a notice that the power plant portion was canceled due to maintenance. This was very disappointing since I’m an engineer, and that was the only reason I chose this package. Asked for a refund for that portion of the package and you have yet to receive it.

Response from Host, Sep 2025

We’re very sorry for the disappointment, especially since the power plant was the highlight you were looking forward to. Maintenance closures are unavoidable however a let-down, and your refund should have been processed by now. Please reach out to our guest services team with your booking details throught the contact details provided on your booking confirmation, we'd love to sort it out for you soon as we can. We hope we'll be able to show you around the power station soon!

Great Tour

Great tour

Richard_S, Aug 2023
the tour was great from the beginning to the end our guide Nio was GREAT ! Also, our Dinner was very good In all we had a good time

Exceptional Tour Guide

Laura_N, May 2023
This tour was 100% awesome - 75% of the awesomeness due to our guide, Ken. Ken was so friendly, personable, and knowledgeable that he truly added the "wow factor" to our night. He was very generous with his local knowledge and patiently answered our questions while adding local color. He even took time to research (while we were eating) a question he did not know the answer to. Truly amazing tour guide service! Our tour started with dinner at Table Rock, a limited 3 course menu, then off to the Power Station for the light show, and ending at the Illumination Tower.

Light up the falls!

Mary_H, Apr 2023
This tour was an amazing interactive experience! First, we go to see the show at the Power Station which was informative and an interactive light show. Next, we had dinner at Table Rock House with a view overlooking the Horseshoe falls. It was a prefix menu and everything was delicious! Last stop we got to see how the lights are changed on the falls at night and even change some of the colors ourselves. Such a cool experience to be able to say “I lit up the falls!” Bill manned the lights and gave us some awesome information! Our tour guide was Ken and he was awesome! Super friendly and shared lots of great information. If you decide to book this tour (and you most definitely should!) ask for Ken because he was great!

Worth it for the dinner and falls

Monica_G, Aug 2022
The light show at the power station was a little cheesy but the dinner, falls lighting and fireworks was excellent!

James_P, Apr 2022
We had a BLAST. Nic was our guide and was AWESOME. THE ILLUMINATION tower was a one of a kind experience. You actually get to change the color on the falls. Bill from parks service was awesome and friendly. Thank you we had a GREAT TIME.

Best Birthday EVER

bev_s, Dec 2021
The power station light show, light falls, dinner, the guide and the whole tour was fabulous. I was very fortunate to have had my tour solo. The light show was incredible . Dinner was great the staff at the restaurant were attentive, pleasant and professional , the food was great. And the view of Niagra Falls at night is something the everyone should get to experience it was simply breath taking. Highlight of my night tour was Light the Falls.

Wonderful experience beginning to end

Elizabeth_C, Dec 2021
We had an excellent experience. Our tour guide was punctual, friendly, and informative. The currents light show was very cool. Dinner at Table Rock was great; we were so full afterwards. Controlling the lights on the falls was our favorite part!!

Light up the falls!

Ken_M, Nov 2021
This was a must do when in Niagara Falls. Our guide, Nick, was amazing and has a wealth of knowledge of the area. We absolutely loved the light show at the old power plant, Current. The food at Table Rock and the view of the falls were amazing. Nick also took us to see the Festival of Lights, as well as, Clifton Hills area. The best part was the fall lights, where we actually changed the colors of the falls. Highlight of the the trip, since very few get to do it. I highly recommend this!

Great shows
