Our tour guide Jacob was great. We learned a lot about the falls history. Our tour was on a rainy windy cold November day and he showed up full of energy and kept us all entertained very well.

Our tour guide was very friendly and informative. However, Headout provided the incorrect address on the ticket so I went to the wrong place and then was running back to find my group. The guide was very helpful and understanding. Maid of the Mist is amazing and such a unique experience. I got soaked at Cave of the Winds.
