Peter was great guide for us! Very kind and warm hearted. It was super cold but our memories will be kept forever. Nice views of Niagara Falls!
It was a good tour for the price! The tour guide, Peter, was very nice and friendly. I only wish he would have left us at the whirlpool prior to dropping off people at the helicopter ride since this wasted precious time we could have spent doing the aero car experience. Otherwise, enjoyed the tour.
Dear valued guest, Thank you for the balanced review! I’m glad you found the tour good value and that Peter’s friendly guiding stood out. I’m sorry the stop sequencing—dropping helicopter guests first—cut into your time for the Whirlpool/Aero Car. That’s helpful feedback. We’ll review our routing so Aero Car guests aren’t squeezed, and when helicopter timings require priority, we’ll aim to build in a dedicated Whirlpool window afterward. For a future visit, a quick heads-up to your guide at boarding (“We’d like to do the Aero Car”) helps us plan the order to protect that experience. We appreciate you traveling with us and hope to welcome you back for a perfectly timed route next round. Kind regards, Stephanie
