Our tour guide was amazing. Loved her knowledge & enthusiasm. My daughter and I had a wonderful time. We would highly recommend this tour. Loved seeing the falls from the heights of Skylon tower to the Beyond the Fall. Two totally different perspectives but both were spectacular.
We met at the Skylon Tower, but there was no signage as to where this tour was to meet. We were told yellow or green, but not a sign, flag or whatever. The guide finally found us. We had a great experience beside the check in.
Walking behind the falls part was underwhelming to say the least. But the observation deck on the ground just downstream feet away from Horseshoe Falls is stellar. Skylon Tower gives a great view of the falls as well from above plus allows you to see Toronto on the other side of the lake.
Great experience. Our guide Peggy was absolutely fantastic. The tower is a great first overall view of everything and the tour allowed enough time without being either super rushed or having a lot of extra time. The way Peggy broke up the walk to the Journey Behind the Falls was perfect.
Our guide was very informative about the historic events like the daredevils, the tower, and historical events at the Falls.
Experience the falls from above and below; plenty of time to ask questions. Some queueing for behind the falls
The experience, behind the falls is a once in a lifetime experience! The guide Linda, who did your tour behind the falls ,. Was knowledgeable and fun at the same time !! The history Linda knew was from experience and not just facts. Thank you and give cudos where they are due !!!! Thanks Linda.
