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.

Absolutely breathtaking. Of all the state and National Parks in the US, this one's my new favorite. Our guide, Janel, was amazing and had a ton of interesting stories to share. She kept the whole group engaged and ensured we finished right on time. I was traveling with my in laws who couldn't walk too far so she suggested us alternatives (a trolley ride) to cover part of the tour and met us at the next checkpoint. The markup compared to the ticket prices is quite high though. Both tickets will set you back by about $60 but you nearly pay $140 for an adult. Now if all or most of the extra money went to the guides, I'd be more than happy, but I doubt that's the case. Anyway, we had a great time.

    • This small-group tour provides ample personal attention, along with one-way hotel transportation (from Niagara Falls, US) and a local guide who knows all the best spots.

    • Hop aboard the famous Maid of the Mist boat ride and get close to the Falls to feel the mist and thunderous power of Niagara Falls.

    • At the Cave of the Winds experience, you’ll walk on wooden pathways and get right under the falls for an unforgettable, up-close view.

    • Your tour guide will also take you to the Prospect Point Observation Tower for amazing panoramic views of all three waterfalls.

    • Explore Whirlpool State Park, where you can watch the powerful whirlpool and rapids of the Niagara River in action. This is a photo op you shouldn't miss.

    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!
