We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Niagara Falls-Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. Our guide was friendly and had a lot of patience. We highly suggest both tours -Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds! Headout made the ticketing experience convenient.

Went solo in March. Cave of the Winds was open, super icy, but made for cool pics. Guide was friendly, group was small. Helicopter didn’t run cause of wind. Still a decent day out.

Did it with my girlfriend. Everything went smooth, but the helicopter was super quick—wish it lasted longer. Maid of the Mist was full of people but still fun. Guide was cheery and helpful.
