The tour was amazing, got the package that included the Journey Behind the Falls, Skylon Tower and the Boat Cruise. Only things is that if you do book this tour with the 3 attractions included make sure to eat where you do the Maple Syrup testing otherwise you won't have time to do so at Niagara Falls. If you want to explore the city I recommend leaving out one of these attractions (I would say Skylon, views are pretty but I could have skipped it) 100% recommend the tour, I didn't have to worry about getting there and the attractions were really amazing. Jeremiah was our guide and he made sure to explain everything to us and even gave us his Whatsapp to contact him for anything, thanks Jeremiah!

Things started off on the wrong track. First, the night before our tour, they changed the pick up location from our hotel to somewhere 20 minutes away. Then as we were checking onto the bus the tour guide was rude to me (although he did apologize later into the tour so all was fine) but it wasn't a good start to a tour that I was really looking forward to. In the end the destination was so AMAZING that it turned out to be a day to remember for the rest of my life. Niagara Falls is A MUST SEE.

Everything was so well organised, even with the unexpected traffic jams and blocked streets on departure because of Toronto marathon. Ou guide was very good and kind. All steps were smoothly organised. It was a Lovely day and a great experience ! The Niagara Falls are a wonderful spot everybody should absolutely visit. I'm very happy quand I feel lucky to have chosen Headout for this excursion.

    Our guide was knowledgable and personable and made the drive to and from Niagara pass quickly. The sights were great and we enjoyed ourselves immensely. You are given ponchos for two of the tours. My suggestion is that you keep the poncho from the first tour as you will need it. i didn't and got sopping wet!

    It was a very well organized tour from Toronto to Niagara Falls by bus. We had booked both options and really enjoyed it. The friendly guide "Bernhard" spoke German, which made the tour very relaxed. Many thanks for the good tips and the wonderful day.
