The meeting point was The Hard Rock Café. Our tour guide, Darren, was on time, professional, informative, engaging and high energy in a positive way. He constantly took headcount to make sure we were all accounted for. He gave clear instructions on meeting points and what to expect, and he answered all questions. He shared some of the history of the falls and Goat Island. My money was well spent! I got a bargain, which included the boat ride, walking tour, viewing points of the falls and Cave of the Winds. Overall, it was a fantastic tour.

The highlight of our experience was to see the falls which was spectacular however what made the whole experience even more memorable was our guide Mary. She was warm and friendly and so knowledgeable about Buffalo. Mary never rushed us and smoothly guided us from one event to another. She adjusted the order of what we were meant to see according to the crowds. It was a great day hanging out with our new friend Mary!

Brian, the tour guide, did an excellent job with telling the history and stories of the numerous people that attempted the falls. He was very good with handling the slow one in my group. He was patient and understanding the walking limitations. Brian also made sure that the couple traveling with us made it back to the gift shop in time to buy their Christmas ornament. The tour was excellent.

    Our tour guide was very friendly and informative. However, Headout provided the incorrect address on the ticket so I went to the wrong place and then was running back to find my group. The guide was very helpful and understanding. Maid of the Mist is amazing and such a unique experience. I got soaked at Cave of the Winds.
