Amazing people all the way around

The entire experience with Over the Falls tours was amazing. The woman who called and confirmed my reservation and walked us through the process was so nice and friendly. Party Marty- our tour guide made our second anniversary wonderful. The falls are spectacular and would have been great with any tour guide- but Marty made the experience stand out! He was extremely knowledgeable of everything Niagra and showed us a few extra hidden gems between locations. Thank you Marty and Over The Falls Tours!
