He also made the time pass quickly with lots of interesting information. The coach was warm and comfortable. The driver was excellent, we went in the extreme weather and he was amazing. The hotel was clean comfortable and we stayed on the Canadian side of the falls. It even had a swimming pool!The falls are beautiful. We got time on both sides. The stops were also excellent with good choice of food options. The mall was also excellent lots of bargains to be had. Cannot fault this trip. Excellent value for money. It is a really long way you need to stay overnight, it is excellent value for money. Would highly recommend to anyone.

We had a group of four so we had two pedicabs. Both drivers were fantastic!! Bill was incredible, he was very friendly and was happy to take pictures at all the sights! Ali was also great he was very funny and super informative about the park. Overall a 10/10 experience and would definitely recommend.

It’s well worth it! Loved every minute. Our tour guide Chris asked what we were more interested in and catered the whole experience to what was appealing to us. He also took his time. He also took amazing photos. Let us take our time and take “selfies” as well and take in what was all around.

We loved this tour!! It was cold and a little rainy and we still had a great time. Loved our guide and would book with this company again! Our 22 yo, 14 and 13 year olds had an easy and fun time! Us parents held on for dear life, but so much better than walking. Vrooooooom!

Excellent experience so far! Mr Roberto and our driver are very polite and friendly, gave us all the essential information we needed! The bus was on time and a stop for breakfast was also programmed! The landscape is breathtaking! I recommend the trip!
