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.

Ashton was a terrific representative for your company. We loved the tunnel the most, and most of the boat. The captain thought drowning us in "mist?" was going to be refreshing. Um. Tooooo coooold! We will never forget our day and the photos are a treasure.

Cruise is amazing! The tour guide took us to visit the waterfall from all angles. The explanation was very clear, which saved us time and increased the enjoyment of the itinerary.

I appreciated getting an up close and personal experience and the history presented in the guided tour was actually nice. However I did not appreciate that we were not given options for parking. We had a terrible time finding parking and it was very far from the meet up spot and even further from the ending of the tour area. Super long walk and was given no info about other options that were clearly cheaper and closer. It was cold and we were wet and ended up having to Uber back to our car because we were freezing! That made the experinece far worse because we were miserable by the end of the tour. Also upon booking, it would have been nice to have more detailed info on what to wear. We assumed rain boots and rain coat but no we actually needed full rain or snow body suits. Our legs, jeans and down my boot into my socks were even wet. We were completely drenched, those cheap plastic ponchos didnt do anything. Overall 2.5/5 stars.
