    We thoroughly enjoyed our day at Niagara Falls-Horseshoe Falls, American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. Our guide was friendly and had a lot of patience. We highly suggest both tours -Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds! Headout made the ticketing experience convenient.

    While our guide was very pleasant, we did not see any value add from taking the tour vs. doing the attractions on our own - certainly not worth the large mark-up just to be led from place to place. Most of the group arrived late so we wasted our time waiting for them, and then the group straggled so much it was difficult for the guide to share info. Also, the email confirmation had the wrong meeting place. If I hadn't called to get precise directions, we would have waited at the wrong location. Overall, it was not a positive experience and we would not waste our money again taking tours with Headout. Pleasant guide but company added no real value. Save money and just follow the signs and go on your own.
