We booked a tour for Saturday on the day before (Friday). Very easy to book, a little difficult to get a hold of anyone after booked. So happy we booked tour as it saved any headaches about travel and tickets. May cost more than a standalone DIY but we had to drive zero and heard stories and facts along the way. Our guide Jimmy was very easy going and made the trip enjoyable. Side note every ticket taker apparently knows Jimmy! He gave us incite on what to look for and about how long to expect to wait. He never rushed anyone and was a good time killer just talking standing in lines.

My 17 year old daughter and I took this tour of the falls. We really enjoyed everything about it. It was very easy for a nervous traveler since it was just the two of us. Jimmy was a great guide and we enjoyed being a part of his family for the day. They contacted us the day before to discuss the pickup and were promptly at our hotel for pickup. The only thing that I wish I knew before was that there were fireworks a little after we were leaving. We may have been able to make arrangements to leave later somehow like others on our tour.

An awesome experience of Niagara Falls, kudos to our tour guide Harvey. The tour started on time and complimentary local pickup was provided by our tour guide. We were able to visit maid of mist, observation tower, cave of winds, goat island, etc. very comfortably in evening and was able to see some of illuminated night view of the falls. A ‘must do’ evening tour if you are planning on visiting Niagara Falls.
