Our tour guide Joel was amazing! So knowledgeable of all the sights in Niagara Falls. Drove around bringing us to all the locations on the tour and was so very nice! We will be back and I will request him as my guide when I do!!!

Salvatore was very informative and his guidance was clear. Amazing trip and seeing the falls in winter made the trip even more special surrounded by snow and ice. Well organised and any questions the team responded to quickly.

Easy way to see the Falls, being picked up from the hotel meant there were no worries about trying to navigate around Toronto to find a pick-up point

The tour was great, the part that I didn't like was the Maple syrup tasting.

Everything are well organized. The driver / guide a.
