Excellent tour to see several Niagara Falls highlights.

Anthony was an excellent guide. He shared history and interesting stories along the way in English and Spanish for our group. He also did a good job keeping his whole group together which was quite large. We didn’t feel rushed like other walking tours we’ve done.

Experience of a lifetime!

Guide was super knowledgeable and so nice! Learned a lot while having a great experience! Highly recommend this to everyone!

Operator response

Thank you! Our guides study harder than college students during finals—and with less pizza—so we’re thrilled it paid off! We’re glad you had a great time *and* learned something… that’s basically a field trip for grown-ups. Thanks for the recommendation, we’ll pass your compliments on (and maybe finally let the guide out of the library).

Beautiful falls

Very awesome tour guide, great views of Niagara falls, and very knowledgeable guide. Had a great day at Niagara Falls! !

Operator response

Thank you! We’re thrilled you had an awesome time—our guides are basically walking encyclopedias with a GPS and a sense of humor. Great views? Check. Great facts? Check. Great hair in 40mph mist? Debatable, but they try. We’re so glad Niagara showed off for you, and our guide brought the A-game (and probably three backup ponchos). Come back anytime—we’ll keep the Falls running just for you!
