What a great way to spend a morning! You see the Falls from 3 points of view - from the SKY, UNDER the falls, and then a boat ride right up to them! All 3 were incredible views and experiences, and we would recommend them ALL! Our only complaint is that were travel as a family of 4 (2 adults and 2 children ages 7 & 9), and the tour guide was a VERY fast walker. We found ourselves falling behind quite often trying to move our children as quickly as the rest of the group. You also move from one point to the next very quickly, which makes stopping for photos another way to get behind the tour guide. Overall, we would recommend this tour - but we do wish you could have a way of being paired with other families of similar situations, so that you're not left behind when there is a very quick tour guide and the rest of the members of the groups are adults or older teens.

We had a wonderful experience on the Niagara Falls All-Inclusive Tour with the Hornblower Cruise, Journey Behind the Falls, and Skylon Tower. It was a great way to see the falls from several different perspectives without having to figure everything out on our own. Our tour guide, Alisha, was great. She provided helpful details throughout the day, kept everything organized, and helped navigate us from one experience to the next. Having her guidance made the day feel smooth and much less stressful. The Hornblower Cruise was definitely a highlight, and Journey Behind the Falls was such a unique experience. The Skylon Tower gave us an incredible view to end the tour. Overall, we really enjoyed the tour and would recommend it to anyone visiting Niagara Falls who wants to make the most of their time.

We had a wonderful time on our tour. There was a bit of a hiccup with some older guests who had some physical limitations, who were also rude (speaking over the guides when they were telling us historical facts, expecting the guides to push them in wheelchairs, etc). Thankfully, the guide saw this as an issue and quickly got them set up for another tour so our group was able to enjoy without disruption. Overall, the guide was friendly, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about the history of the area. I would absolutely recommend this company to anyone visiting the Niagara Falls area.

We had an absolutely wonderful time on the Niagara Falls walking tour today! The views were spectacular, but what truly made the experience unforgettable was our guide, Kaur Yoga Parminder She did a fantastic job! She was incredibly knowledgeable, engaging, and brought such a warm, positive energy to the whole group. Thanks to her great storytelling and helpful tips, we got the absolute most out of our visit. Highly recommended to anyone looking to experience the Falls! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

Great experience. Starting with Skylon Tower and a view of the falls from the top. Followed by Behind the Falls. Seeing where the falls meet the water. Our guide was wonderful as he transitioned us down the river to the boat ride. Lots of information. Great job. The boat was amazing. Much wetter than I even thought it would be. The prospective of the falls from the three different angles was an incredible experience. I highly recommend

Ryan was an amazing tour guide! We had such a wonderful experience touring the Skylon Tower, the Journey Behind the Falls and the Hornblower Cruise. It's very hard to impress a 13 year old but Ryan blew him away during the walking tour with all of the history facts and beautiful views. Definitely the most enjoyable part of our trip!!! Thanks Ryan for an amazing journey through Niagara Falls :)
