Our tour guide, Greg, a Niagara Fallas native, was phenomenal!!! He was energetic, funny, relateable, and very knowledgeable about the area/falls/history. He made the tour interactive and just so enjoyable. Definitely stay up to the front so you can interact/participate more. He gave us great advice to enjoy the Maid of the Mist: on the way out, stay up at the bottom/front and enjoy the experience by keeping your phones out away; on the way back to the doct, head to the upper back for photo oops. You will get wet. Be prepared to change clothes later. Would highly recommended!

This was definitely a great end of the day booking after walking and doing the falls. Its a 20 minute ride from the falls area. If you plan to get wet this is the ride for you. We sat on the very back row and still was soaked. Going full speed into class 6 rapids will leave you drenched and the water is cold. Perfect for a hot summer day.

It was a very educational and fun tour with Selena. She was incredibly kind, friendly, and courteous throughout the entire experience. On top of that, her excellent Spanish skills were a wonderful surprise. I wasn’t expecting the tour to be available in my native language, nor did I ask for it, so being able to enjoy her explanations in Spanish added tremendous value to the experience. Thank you, Selena, for being so warm, professional, and thoughtful throughout the tour. You truly made our visit to Niagara Falls even more special!
