Fun tour of the Falls - This was a great tour from beginning to end. Pickup/ drop off were convenient. We could leave all the details to our guide , CJ, with Tripshepard. CJ was friendly and incredibly responsive to our needs and requests. He made a good tour special through his friendly, helpful and considerate nature. Would recommend this tour-ask for CJ.

Excellent small group and exceptional and accommodating tour guide. - I have traveled and taken numerous tours and this was one of the best! The easiest way to see Niagara Falks and surrounding area. Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and had a great personality. Because we only had four people, the tour guide was able to pace the trip according to our interests.

Fantastic experience on the last day of our trip! - We had never been to Niagara Falls (or Toronto) so when we saw what this tour offered we didn't hesitate.
It exceeded all our expectations.
Amar our guide was VERY knowledgeable about Toronto and the falls. It was a seamless tour going from one scenic view to another. We had good weather which was a plus. The views of the fall from above, below and alongside were thrilling. It was a first class experience going from one to the next with no waiting. We enjoyed the other stops including the Maple Marketplace, the Whirlpool, the old (and new) power plants. Clifton and its amusement park atmosphere was a good way to end the day in NIagara before heading back to Toronto where Amar drove us by the waterfront. He was always full of good insights and information about the history of Toronto.
The van shared with two more people was comfortable. There was ample time at each stop at the falls to make sure we could see everything we wanted.
It was ten hours that went by in a flash.
This is probably one of the best tours I have been on ANYWHERE (and we travel quite a bit).
We highly recommend this tour to immerse yourself in the falls!

Awesome - We were picked up at our hotel before seven by 2 enthusiastic men.
We were 6 people in total
We received a lot of information along the way and upon arrival we didn't have to wait anywhere.
First behind the falls, you got a poncho and could look at your own pace, it was not busy.
When we went up to the Skylon tower, we were the only ones there!
What a great view, we were also very lucky with the weather.
Then to the boat, for those who wanted…
What a force of nature, at this time of year the most water falls.
We had enough time to eat and see something on our own.
Then we stopped at the power plant, how big!
Then 1.5 hours back to Toronto.
It was a very successful day, recommended to everyone

A nice way to see one of the “wonders of the world”! - Extensive Niagara Falls tour with local guide Amat who was pleasant safe and knowledgeable.
Loved going early and avoid crowds. Although seeing the Falls lit up would have be spectacular.
