    The headout app was worthless because it didn't sync to my purchase. The app would get a 1 star. However, the people on my tour guide were great! Got a text that morning where to meet and very easy to locate. Very friendly folks. Left promptly. Our guide Bernie was great with giving historical stories of the falls. He also has a unique sense of humor that I found entertaining. Plenty of time for pictures and rest breaks while still feeling like the tour is moving. If you don't mind getting wet, this is a great way to feel the power of the falls without attempting a barrel ride!

    Greg was amazing! We had such a great time! Getting all the stories and history was so much better than doing this on our own without a guide!

    Our guide was so great. He got us through the busy crowds in the busiest day of the year. We saw everything we wanted in this one tour.

    We loved the small group and our guide Naomi was great. She took us to the perfect picture spots and offered education about Niagra's history that was informative and concise. I highly recommend her. She kept my teenagers engaged in the history without boring them!
