Great tour guide

Published on Feb, 2025

Great tour guide Tracey, very friendly and knowledgeable. Made the trip very worthwhile. Comfortable journey with prompt pick up

Amazing experience.

Published on Feb, 2025

Niagara falls is amazing. visiting in February it was cold and lots of ice, but this did not stop how in awe you feel when you visit the falls. The boat tour was closed for the winter, but i went under the falls. This was an experience i will never forget.

Tracy

Published on Feb, 2025

Tracy was just amazing. She was very understanding. She checked on us to make sure we made it and she was very educational too.

Amazing from start to finish

Published on Feb, 2025

Had an amazing day today visiting Niagara Falls John was our tour guide and what a very informative man he was..also a great photographer ( thanks John)

Amazing experience

Published on Feb, 2025

Amazing experience! Our tour guide John was really nice, always prioritizing our safety and well being. The tour is really worth it, even after a snowstorm everything was beautiful. I honestly wouldn’t do the Journey Behind the Falls again but not because of the tour itself, I just believe the attraction itself is not worth it in the winter.
