We booked the guided walking tour to see the Maiden of the Mist, observation deck and then the Cave of the Winds. We were paired with Gregory and it was honestly the best tour we have ever did. our tour guide is from the area and he was well informed of the area and the historical facts and recommendations of the area. His fun facts were a hit with my son. And he is a moody teenager so that should tell you Im telling the truth. It was easy to find the beginning point. It is definitely a walking tour some people in the group missed that bit of information but its a very slow pace. If you ever take this tour I hope you get Gregory. We were the purple and green bead group!!
