Mary was our tour guide in Niagara Falls- she was so knowledgeable and prepared. We also missed our meeting time and she was so gracious to let us meet up with her for the rest of the tour- she did her job with such kindness. During our mess-up of not going to the correct meeting place, I called the support number and Jill was fantastic. She helped us to know what to do next, again with such a pleasant tone.

Had such a wonderful experience! Afshin, our tour guide, was very friendly and personable and not annoying at all like some tour guides are. As a tourrist, I was very excited to do all of the fun bucketlist items like getting to experince eating frozen maple syrup off a stick and of course the bretahatking view of Niagra. Hard to put into words how the eperince was, but it was memorable. I reccoemnd taking a tour because you don't have to worry about parking, or where to go. I had a great time
