The meeting point was The Hard Rock Café. Our tour guide, Darren, was on time, professional, informative, engaging and high energy in a positive way. He constantly took headcount to make sure we were all accounted for. He gave clear instructions on meeting points and what to expect, and he answered all questions. He shared some of the history of the falls and Goat Island. My money was well spent! I got a bargain, which included the boat ride, walking tour, viewing points of the falls and Cave of the Winds. Overall, it was a fantastic tour.

We had a great time, we went as a family. Our guide, Mark, was very friendly and knowledgeable. We had all ages in our group and he was very patient with everyone. At the beginning they had problems giving us the passes but in the end they solved everything and we had a great time without any problems.
