This tour was comprehensive with visits to the falls but also to other aspects of their formation and history. Ross, our guide, was outstanding knowledgeable and patient.

The tour guide was great...she was knowledgeable and fun. The Cave of the Winds attraction was breath-taking. The Maid of the Mist boat ride was wonderful...yes we were up close to the Falls. The water was actually not as rocky as you would think. The thing I would change is the selection for a lunch stop...if you don't eat hamburgers, you are out of luck.

After unbelievably wonderful tours in Italy a few years ago, when visiting Niagara Falls we only considered booking through Viator. We didn't notice until confirming the reservation a few days before that the tour is actually run by another tour company. The tour was just okay. The guide for the most part was just a driver and organizer, provided only the minimum required dialogue, but answered most questions when asked. The points of interest were great. The area surrounding the American side was a big disappointment so we were happy we were staying on the Canadian side.

A group of friends from Iowa came with me to do the tour of the Falls. Eddie, the shuttle driver who picked us up at our hotel on Transit Rd. to the Sheraton to be picked up by David F. for the tour were both AWESOME!! Great history, info, laughs, etc the entire time. KUDOS to David F. and Eddie!!!! Highly recommend them both!!

Great tour guide. He scheduled the tour that we would get to the most popular places early before the crowds so we did not have to wait in long lines. The boat trip was fun but wet and the rest of the tour was informative and enjoyable

I really enjoyed our tour guide, Lori. She was very knowledgeable about the area and the history of the falls. She smoothly guided us through customs we were picked up on the Canadian side. She also led us to the Maid of the Mist boat and gave us tips as to where to stand on the boat. She gave us a lot of tips and hints for each stop on the tour...things that only a person who had been at the locations would have known. She was very precise with instructions and directions so everything was clear and easy to understand. When one couple was late getting back to the bus, she was not upset but waited patiently. My only disappointment with the tour was that we didn't visit the power plant. I'm not sure if we were on the exact tour that we reserved. The other minor flaw was the sign up process. I called Viator to ask questions and reserve the tour. Then I had to call Grayline the tour company to set up the hotel pickup. It was a couple of hours before they had the paperwork to be able to set up this part of the tour. In this day of electronics I would have expected that this would have been faster.

Phenomenal tour! Amanda was very informative and friendly. Cave of the Winds and the Maid of the Mist are both must do attractions. Incredible experiences. Remember, if you being picked up in Canada, bring your passport...this tour is in the USA. _br/_ Perfect amount of time at each spot to enjoy the experience without feeling rushed.

Since we only had limited time in Niagara Falls, the tour was perfect to see all the highlights. Rita was a funny and informative tour guide. Getting picked up at the hotel door to door service was also a time savor. Highly recommend this tour.

This trip was excellent. Our tour guide Tom picked us up at the hotel. He was polite, courteous and informative all day. He had a great sense of humour and managed everybody in the group. The tour was great I particularly enjoyed the Caves of the winds and of course the maid of the mist. Would not hesitate to recommend this tour to anyone and special thanks to Tom

Joe was a terrific tour guide -- he was very accommodating, knowledgeable and entertaining. This is a long tour, but it goes quite quickly, with lots of different parts. We saw and learned a lot! Also, the tour booking folks are extremely nice and really took care of us. All around a great experience.

Tour was amazing. Tour guide, Amanda, did a fantastic job, in spite of faulty microphone. The Falls, to quote my girlfriend, were incredible!!! If you've never been to NF, this tour is a must!

Even though I had been to the Falls before, about couple of decades ago, but I really enjoyed the trip that was very well planned and professionally handled. My wife who had come for the first time was thrilled to get the experience of Cave of the Winds and Maid of the Mist. Kudos to the local company who handled the tour and would surely recommend to anyone who is visiting Buffalo.

We appreciate the efficient way trip was handled. Bob - our guide explained various aspects related with trip clearly. Our schedule was very tight. We were in Buffalo for few hours only. At the end of trip , we were close to miss our flight. With Bob's help, we manged to catch our flight to NYC just in time. Thank You Bob.

Review by:   Kezia C,    July 2016 Review: 1 star rating: I do not recommend this
I was disappointed because the tour information says the sights in which we are supposed to visit. However, we didn and #39;t visit cave of the winds, we got a movie instead, we didn and #39;t get to visit all the islands. It was a waste of money considering we didn and #39;t get to see all the sights promised. $400 waste

Wonderful, just wonderful! We are so happy we ran across this tour and decided to book it! We were able to see places we never would have found on our own, like the Whirlpool State Park. Our tour guide, Bob, was fantastic! He was very knowledgeable and entertaining! We learned so many interesting facts about the falls and surrounding area. Couldn't have been any better!

We had such a great tour! Carl was our tour guide and he made sure we got to enjoy all the different stops the best way possible! We had SO much fun because he made it fun. He and #39;s very knowledgeable about Niagara Falls and gave lots of great history bits between stops. It and #39;s worth every penny!

Our tour guide was great! We started a hour late which made for a long night but was well worth it. Remember to bring snacks and plenty of water during the busy season because there isn and #39;t much time to stop.

Good tour with a very knowledgeable guide - Amanda. Saw all the highlights from great spots and had time to enjoy them_br/_ The tour was supposed to last 4 hours starting at 9 am, which meant many had other plans for the afternoon. but even without any delays on the tour we got back at our hotel at 14.30

The tour destinations are awesome, but spending 100$ per head for this tour is useless. If you are alone or need help in transportation, then this tour makes sense. Otherwise rent a car or even better walk and have fun._br/_ I would suggest two stars, but the guide was very good - hence an extra star.
