Wonderful trip! Boat trip was amazing! Being behind the water afterwards was incredibly! Guiding was technically not always easy to listen, as a foreigner. Didn't really work out with the micro.

Everything was well organised: the pick-up in Toronto was on time, our guide was very friendly and helpful. He shared with us interesting information on the trip to Niagara Falls. He brought us to the exact spots where we wanted to go. In addition, we were lucky, because end of March there are not so many tourists but we had great weather.

A day full of discoveries—it lets you see so many things in a single day. But since we don’t speak English, it was hard for us to understand our guide.

Very very nice organization, perfectly on time with some more activities even. Michael is a top guide, taking care of everyone, answering to all questions and expectations. During the tour comments were brilliant. We did it in family (4 p.) and we absolutely recommend this Queen tour with Michael. Thanks again.
