The tour was interesting with the guide Filipé, who kept us informed throughout our walk. Access to the boat was expedited! And there we get splashed by the Niagara Falls on the Canadian side!
Cher client estimé, Merci beaucoup d’avoir partagé votre expérience de notre visite guidée à pied des chutes du Niagara. Nous sommes ravis que Filipé ait rendu la promenade intéressante grâce à ses explications tout au long du parcours. Nous sommes également heureux que l’accès rapide à la croisière en bateau ait été apprécié. Se rapprocher des chutes du Niagara du côté canadien est une expérience spectaculaire et, comme vous l’avez constaté, il faut s’attendre à être bien arrosé! Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir de nouveau pour une autre excursion à Niagara Falls. Cordialement, Stephanie
The tour guide was great. However the set up for this was not good. It gave us an address to meet at. Didn’t tell who we were meeting or what landmark to meet at. Just an address. The address happens to be a whole block of large businesses. Need to be more specific of meeting place and who we are meeting.
Dear valued guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback about your Niagara Falls tour. We are pleased to hear that your tour guide was great and helped make the experience enjoyable. We are sorry to hear there was confusion when locating the meeting point. Our meeting instructions do state to meet in front of Niagara Casino, beside the Hard Rock Cafe, as this is the landmark used to help guests find the correct location. That said, we understand how important clear arrival details are, especially in a busy area with many large businesses nearby. We appreciate your feedback and will continue reviewing our communication to ensure the meeting point is as easy as possible for guests to identify before their tour. Thank you again for joining us, and we hope to welcome you on another Niagara Falls sightseeing experience in the future. Kind regards, Stephanie
You need to know where you will park your car before going to the meeting point. There is no free public parking around.
Dear valued guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback about our Niagara Falls Walking Tour with Boat Cruise. We appreciate you highlighting the importance of planning parking before arriving at the meeting point. As this is a walking tour in a busy Niagara Falls sightseeing area, public parking nearby can be limited and paid parking is often required. Your helpful note will be useful for future travellers preparing for their Niagara Falls walking tour, boat cruise, and meeting point arrival. We appreciate your feedback and will continue working to make pre-tour instructions as clear as possible for guests. Kind regards, Stephanie

Prezado(a) hóspede, Agradecemos por compartilhar sua avaliação sobre o nosso Guided Day in Niagara Falls from Toronto with Boat Ride Option. Sentimos muito que a experiência tenha sido impactada por atrasos e pela falta de clareza no momento da saída. Entendemos como a pontualidade é importante em uma excursão de dia inteiro para Niagara Falls, especialmente quando há horários combinados para embarque, passeio de barco, paradas turísticas e retorno. Pedimos sinceras desculpas pela frustração causada pela espera no ponto de encontro, pelo atraso na saída de Niagara Falls e pelo tempo adicional aguardando outros passageiros na última parada. Embora nossa equipe sempre faça o possível para seguir o horário previsto e manter o passeio organizado, alguns fatores, como trânsito, acidentes na estrada ou hóspedes que chegam atrasados aos pontos de encontro, infelizmente podem estar fora do nosso controle. Mesmo assim, reconhecemos a importância de uma comunicação clara nesses momentos e lamentamos que isso tenha afetado sua experiência. Seu comentário é muito importante para nossa equipe, pois nos ajuda a reforçar nossos procedimentos de comunicação, organização dos ônibus, controle de horários e instruções aos hóspedes durante o tour. Estamos revisando esse feedback com nossa equipe operacional para melhorar a experiência dos próximos visitantes. Esperamos que, apesar desses inconvenientes, você tenha conseguido aproveitar a beleza de Niagara Falls e o passeio de barco. Agradecemos novamente por nos alertar sobre esses pontos e esperamos ter a oportunidade de oferecer uma experiência mais organizada e pontual no futuro. Atenciosamente, Stephanie
Your Guide has great knowledge of the history along your walk. Can ask your guide anything you need to no Scenery is just Beautiful Meeting other people during your tour and having a laugh here and there Stopping and taking photos even your guide will take pics of you if required Then your guide will make sure your about to board boat to the falls before he/she leaves Worth every penny
