The boat tour is $30 if you go there without a pre-purchased ticket. This walking tour is a complete scam; all our tour guide did was walk us from the welcome center to the boat tour and walk us to goat island. He was a nice guy, but it was definitely a waste of money.
We arrive 10 minutes early and had to wait an extra 20 minutes past departure time for other people in the trip. Then we had to walk to a different area to find them. There no walking tour of any sort. Should’ve bought directly from the maiden on the mist.
The ride was much fun and well organized. The tourguide provided valuable information, especially with regards to the best place in the boat. I would recommend this tour.
The tour guide was great !! The entire experience was amazing!! The falls were exhilarating and breathtaking !! Definitely worth it !!
It was absolutely amazing the view of the falls the workers the fresh mist every single thing was an Experience my 13 teen year old and my husband and I will never forget and our tour guide guy was amazing we were his diamonds and he really made all of us feel like we were. He really made the experience more memorable thank you all for the best day
Maureen Malark, our tour guide, was a horrible guide; she was constantly racist to a couple in our group. She also made an extremely inappropriate comment to a girl and her dad, assuming she was her girlfriend. On top of that, she was rude to everyone in our group and led us to various unauthorized tourist traps. Towards the end of the tour, she stopped in the middle of the street and held us there until we all gave her a tip above $20. While in the bus, she yelled at a couple and a girl whom she assumed was her dad's girlfriend when they simply asked when they would leave. When we tried to report her to the front office, the man who was working there gave us a white sheet of paper instead of an official document to write out our complaint; however, we never received anything back from them. So I believed that they ignored it or threw it away. Maureen was not only inappropriate and racist, but she was incredibly unprofessional for holding us hostage tips
It was a nice trip. We didn’t need to do the regular line to buy the tickets.
You are paying twice as much for two pictures from the tour guide. This is not a trialing tour. We only got some info at the beginning and the group half the time was wondering what we were doing. I’ve traveled all over the world and this was not a tour. Save money and just pay $30 entry to Maid of the mist. If you try to contact them through the app they don’t even respond.
Book through this site. It didn't give you clear instructions on where to go or if you needed to meet someone.
Experience of going on the boat was exceptional. Paying double for the experience was not! Had we known you can walk up day of and buy tickets for half of the price we paid.
