Awe inspiring!

10/10 experience! We spent two days at the falls prior to the tour, and thought perhaps we had seen most of it- The tour is next level and the “up close and personal” version that makes the falls experience truly incredible. Our guide was fantastic and knew all the tips and tricks to keep our group moving amongst the tourist season crowds. Every bit of this tour was awe inspiring. Probably one of the best tours I’ve ever taken.

Bad experience with see sight

Viator sells you out to 3rd party companies who were disorganized, late to pick up, horrible communication after we booked, asked us if we wanted the “touristy” tour, basically just shuttled us to the 2 big events for the day. Nice guy just didn’t seem that interested and wasn’t there for the start of our tour. Could just book venues in your own and save 150 dollars.

Our tour guide was great,...

Our tour guide was great, Kaliegh. Went on maiden of the mist and cave of the winds. Kaliegh shared history and stories.

Operator response

Kaliegh bringing the history and stories across both the Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds makes for a day that covers every angle of the falls. 💦 A great combination and clearly a great guide to share it with!

Such a great experience and our tour guide Rich was awesome! Driving around is way better than walking from place to place for sure!

Rich making the whole experience flow so effortlessly while keeping everyone comfortable along the way sounds like the perfect way to take in the city! 🚐

My guide Mark was personable and knowledgeable about the area. I made new friends from Australia

It's so worth the time. Pictures do not convey the majesty of the Falls. I would strongly recommend taking the tour.

Operator response

Seeing Niagara Falls in person really shows why photos never quite capture its scale and beauty 🌊. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting the full experience beyond pictures.
