This was the first time bringing our children to Canada and while staying in Niagara, we wanted them to experience the most that the falls had to offer. The tour guide, Alisha, was excellent. She talked about interesting historical facts about the falls, different events from the past and present, and was generally informative about the location, good places to visit and eat at. I would highly recommend the tour. The kids had a lot of fun. Bring water if coming in hotter months! The kids were quite thirsty and hot but we all had fun. The boat to the falls was the most fun we all had. You will get wet so dress accordingly but it is certainly an experience you can't get anywhere else.

Our tour guide, Alisha, was fantastic and enrgetic! She gave us so much background and info that it made all that we were seeing even more wonderful. She was fun and knowledgeable. The behind the falls was just remarkable and you were right up front. There wasn't much time here, but it was wonderful to be able to see what others do not. Alisha also told us right where to stand for the best view, and splash, on the boat! It was perfect! We enjoyed her immensely and totally would recommend this tour for sure! I was worried that I wasn't going to get all of the things we wanted to do in "one" place....but this package was perfect.

We had a wonderful experience on the Niagara Falls tour with the Hornblower cruise and Journey Behind the Falls. Our tour guide was outstanding—patient, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the area and its history. The whole tour was well-organized and enjoyable from start to finish. The only minor hiccup was the meeting point information in the Headout confirmation email. It indicated the location as Murray St near the Arcade Game Gallery level, but the actual meeting spot was at the entrance of the Skylon Tower. A quick update to the meeting point photo or instructions would help future visitors avoid confusion.

Kingsley was a great tour guide. I love that he reached out well in advance of the tour to confirm our meeting point, and then was available via text when my directionally challenged self had trouble locating the spot. He was knowledgeable, good-humored, and kind to everyone in our group.

Journey behind the falls was blah. Lot of time wasted on a mediocre sight. The observation deck was cool. Boat was fun but we stood in wrong place. Got drenched. Had to pull hood over our faces bc we were getting plummeted so didn't really get to view the horseshoe falls.
