Once there your first stop is the Skylon Tower.

Day was well planned, Fabio our driver was great and provided clear instructions so everyone arrived back on time for each stop off, fall experience was great, and the time of year meant very little waiting. Dinner at the end was great, it was a nice way to end a long day and see the falls from up high in color whilst relaxing and discussing with with other member of the tour.

Great tour, great guide in Allay who was full of information and fun. Meal in the Sheraton was excellent tho could take a long time to re-fill trays. Enjoyed wandering around Niagara on the Lake and learning about the region. The main event, The Falls, were magnificent. Would recommend this tour company.

Our tour guide, Alli, made the tour great. He went out of his way to make everyone feel comfortable and was extremely accomodating. It was nice not to drive, sit back and watch the sites. Falls were amazing, loved the boat ride. A big Thank You to Alli for making it the very best!

Even with the rain we enjoyed the Tour, everything went as explained, don't buy a Tour with dinner at Sheraton Buffett, not a good choice.

The whole family enjoyed the experience. The kids said it was their favorite part of our vacation.
