If you’ve never experienced the falls, this guided tour is the way to go. Bring extra shoes and a clear waterproof phone case for taking pics at the falls. Our guide, Steve, was Excellent!!! He was very knowledgeable and accommodating. He also took pics for people, ensuring that they captured those memories.

A great way to spend the day.

This experience was truly awesome. Our Tour Guide Steve was amazing! I have taken the Maid of the Mist before but without the Tour you just don’t get all the awesome information and hidden gems of Niagara state park. The walk takes you through a scenic route and the Cave of the winds is a BEAUTIFUL up close and personal way to view the falls. On the Maid of the mist the Poncho they provide will keep you dry but if you want the absolute full experience at the cave of the winds you should wear some type of water shoes and clothes you wouldn’t mind getting wet in.

Amazing

Maid of the Mist is an amazing experience. Cave of Winds is also great. Out tour guides Gino & wife were very knowledgeable about the history. Enjoyed greatly.

Terrible communication

Tracy_H, Jul 2024
We showed up for the tour and no one showed up. There was us along with other families that book through Viator that Had no idea the tour had been canceled.

Good

Varun_B, Jul 2024
The tour is good and worth taking. One feedback that I would like to share is that it should accommodate visitors who arrive bit late as it’s difficult to find parking spot even if you reach destination ahead to time. I called them and guy on the phone was rude and did not understand my concern as I told I am facing issue in finding parking spot, I believe the tour guide was not that person in the phone. Tour guide was so nice a and accommodating he share the location and asked to come at that spot

Do not use viator

Monica_N, Jul 2024
Called me 2.5hours before my reservation to tell me it’s canceled. Can not make this up, horrible! Do not use, you will be disappointed

Awesome Trip

Curtis_S, Jun 2024
The most beautiful thing was the Maid Of The Mist. The Tour Guide was very Knowledgeable about the Area.

The Niagara Experience

Maria_G, Jun 2024
The your guide was incredible good but the logistic was a disaster When you buy a toor you expect preferential treatment at the lines and it was not the case The time wasted messed up our itinerary

Exceptionally excellent

alex_i, Jun 2024
Iconic boat ride and cave of the wind. Maid of mist. And actually everything. Kudos to our very professional and knowledgeable tour guide. Daniel.

Never again - Big No Show!

John_I, May 2024
I booked the tour in early March. You sent me a confirmation on March 4th, with tickets, and instructions as to where you would pick us up (Hilton Niagara Falls). May 14th at 9am was the confirmed date and time. Your tour expert did not show up, call, or use any communications methods to contact us. All information as to date, time and location on YOUR confirmation was accurate……….however no one showed up, no apology or explanation offered………and now you have the nerve to ask me if I’d recommend you to a friend…….

Wonderful experience!!

Matthew_Y, Mar 2023
The whole tour was excellent. Very interesting & informative. Our tour guide (Peter) was excellent. Very friendly and knowledgeable. Great positive attitude. Highlight of our trip to Niagara Falls.

Thank you for allowing 5starniagarafalls.com to be part of your trip...

Peter is the best tour guide

Mario_M, Feb 2023
Our trip was amazing thanks to put your guide Peter. He was knowledgeable about every place we went to. The tour we purchased online had a service that wasn’t available for the winter time and Peter was quick to let us know, and once we got to the tour he was kind enough to make it up to us by inviting us to another tour. He knew my wife and I were celebrating our anniversary and made it special for us. We couldn’t have had a better experience thanks to him. Peter is highly recommended!

Response from Host, Feb 2023

Thank you for choosing 5starniagarafalls.com We pride ourselves on being able to make it a better tour. Peter is top notch when it comes to being versatile and readily able to change to make things better. CHEERS!

Horrible tour experience - I want a full refund

Richard_G, Nov 2022
The tour operator canceled on me the night before and. we did not get to experience the boat. Experience

Not what signed up for ...

Stuart_T, Nov 2022
Most memorable were the cordiality of the "owner" - Brett and his knowledgabled guide -Peter. Of course the views of the Falls were incredible. My issue was that this was booked as a ride on the Maid of the Mist - this was the priority. All boat trips to the horseshoe falls on the American side were canceled effective 4 days prior to ours being scheduled. The owner knew this but didn't give us notice prior to showing up at 900 am - even though he knew. We should've had the option prior to cancel (or not). I do wish him success and we all made the best of the "b plan".

Response from Host, Nov 2022

It was my pleasure taking you both on the tour. I truly hope that you both had a wonderful time. My apologies for not getting ahold of you beforehand. I was glad to have you both with me and sharing our similarities in life... You both were a pleasure to be around... If you ever make it back I would like very much to do it again... Cheers and I hope the Mrs feels a little better...

Treated like VIPs

Jonathan_W, Nov 2022
Our two guides, Brett and Peter, were outstanding. Brett drove us to where the story of the Falls started, to where the Falls are now, stopping to beautiful views on the way and going through lovely neighbourhoods. Peter our main guide was very friendly and very enthusiastic, explaning and commenting on everything we saw . He answered all the questions we had, we went through all the attractions without waiting or queuing. We really felt more like VIPs than tourists. Feeding the birds and squirrels in Niagara State Park was great. Both gentlemen where very passionate about the Niagara Falls and eager to share that with us.

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you very much for the opportunity... Cheers!!!!

What fun we had!

Pamela_D, Sep 2022
Peter was our guide and he made the tour! We enjoyed everything. He went above and beyond to make sure all was great.

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Charles_N, Sep 2022

Mala experiencia

David_M, Sep 2024
Suspendieron la actividad solo 12 horas después de contratarla, la empresa que tiene Viator subcontratada para las excursiones un desastre , y luego Viator necesitó varios días para comprobar que la excursión se había suspendido y devolverme el dinero
