Our excellent tour guide, KIngsley, kept us up to date by text with meet up arrangments. During the tour, he was flexible to everyone's needs. He informed everyone that we would be doing at least 3000 steps and checked that we were all happy with this. We appreciated this information before we set off. Great conversation with everyone - mostly about their football / soccer teams - but understandable as we were in the middle of FIFA 2026! The pace of the first walk was good with plenty of time to take photos and catch up. The route was very informative and gave us great views of behind the Horseshoe Falls. We particularly appreciated the Falls Incline Railway part of the trip - bonus! The Journey Behind the Falls was amazing and wet! Kingsley gave us plenty of time to enjoy the experience and clear instructions where to meet up. The walk along the board walk to the boat trip was again a good pace - not too fast so we could still enjoy the sights. He left us with clear instructions how to get on the boat and wished us a good experience. The boat trip was incredible - again very wet but so worth it. Altogether an excellent experience and one which our family will cherish. Thank you - Kingsley is an asset to your company.

Hello Bernad & the BG Team. It was a pleasure to meet you on the tour to Niagara Falls. Thank you for the tour and for sharing so many interesting facts about the region, its history, and yourself with us. We had a perfect day where we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Thanks to you and the driver, we felt well taken care of. We highly recommend the “guided tour” from Toronto to Niagara Falls; there was plenty of time for all the attractions and sights. You do a great job, and it’s clear that you love what you do. People like you and your team are truly special.

It was a great day for a tour. Our guide was fantastic and made the tour exciting. Our group was phenomenal and we made new friends for life. Although Mother Nature thought is would be funny to downpour on us, Julian our guide did everything he could do to make it comfortable for everyone. We were able to finish the tour on the Hornblower and I must say, we loved every minute of the tour. Thank you Julian and Headout!!!

The tour was great - big recommendation! It was well organized and our tour guide Jeremiah was lovely and very determined to give us the best experience! The boat ride is a must! It was a fun - and wet - experience. The Journey behind the Falls was also good. It is nice to get a close view and it's great for some pictures! All in all, it was a great experience and definitely worth the money!

Our tour guide, Bernad, did a fantastic job. After a warm and personal welcome, we set off on a bilingual (English & German) tour that was exceptionally well-prepared and planned—Bernad and the bus driver responded to every individual request with lots of positive energy. We felt completely at ease and would recommend this experience to everyone.

Our first trip to the falls was Amazing. We loved taking the boat out to the falls but loved the behind the falls tour as well. So cool to be so up close to the falls! Luckily, it was a very hot day and the falls provided some much needed relief from the heat. The best part, we were completely dry in about 5 minutes! Highly recommend!

The tour was great! The guide was communicating before the tour started about where to meet so It was easy the meet the group at the skylon tower. It was hot but the walk was nice. It was a couple miles long walk and we were tired, so we took a cab back to the tower at the end.

Julian, our guide, was amazing that we have nicknamed him, "King Julian!" He was knowledgeable, kind, and led the tour just right! We loved that we got a nice walking tour and then the boat cruise and that all the tickets etc. were taken care of.

Loved the tour ! Our guide Kingsley was super nice and the tour is very good! I did not like that the instruction mention to be there at 9:15 when the tour actually starts at 9:45 instead of 9:30 but otherwise we enjoyed it.
