Our guide Frank stayed in constant contact starting the day before the tour so we already felt confident that we would be well cared for before we ever arrived. We didn't feel rushed and it was great not having to drive ourselves around. The small group size was worth the extra cost compared to other tour companies. The Hornblower combo package we purchased was just right. We felt like we got to see and experience all the big Must-Dos. Overall we had an amazing 1 day Niagra adventure. Would 100% do this again with a different package. Thanks, Frank!
