We really enjoyed the Niagara Falls tour - we were unlucky in that there was quite bad traffic up due to an accident but that wasn't something that could be helped or that the tour had any control over. Wayne the tour operator was so funny and knowledgeable, it was a great experience overall. It was excellent being able to sit back and enjoy the sights there and back without worrying about how to get anywhere/ where to go. The wine tasting was a great part of the tour, really interesting and informative, as well as delicious! Niagara was of course incredible and being able to visit behind the falls was a great alternative to the boat ride (not operating during the winter season).

Was a fantastic tour really enjoyed the day with our guide Vinney. I liked the history he talked about and tied it in with some personal history. Not your typical 9-5 tour guide with fake smile this is the guy who’s born and raised and knows the town better than it’s own Mayor. Thank you for the wonderful day and will highly recommend to friends and family!

It was the best organised excuraion ever! Well as always with get your guide! All clear 24/7 support. Many options. I chose the Niagara Falls tour Platinum with lunch and all available excursions. It was totally worth it! It is really cool provider of excursions around the globe! Thank you!

Incredible experience definitely I will recommend it. Please choose the 130 dollars experience. The lunch with the view of the waterfalls is an unforgettable moment. I did the helicopter ride too with the reduced price also recomendable. The tour guide was unbelievable thanks so much!

Very worthwhile - highly recommend!! Thank you so much Allay for taking us to so many sights and taking good care of us!
