I had such an amazing time on this tour! Our guide, Alora, was really friendly, knowledgeable and organised. It was great to hear some stories about the history of the falls as we walked around. The experiences themselves were incredible. It was great to get so close to the falls and to see them from such unique angles. Worth noting - if you go on the boat ride you WILL get soaked, even wearing the poncho! Definitely still worth it but plan your outfit accordingly!!

We had a wonderful experience on the Niagara Falls tour with the Hornblower cruise and Journey Behind the Falls. Our tour guide was outstanding—patient, helpful, and very knowledgeable about the area and its history. The whole tour was well-organized and enjoyable from start to finish. The only minor hiccup was the meeting point information in the Headout confirmation email. It indicated the location as Murray St near the Arcade Game Gallery level, but the actual meeting spot was at the entrance of the Skylon Tower. A quick update to the meeting point photo or instructions would help future visitors avoid confusion.

The tour itself was very good !! The only problem was when we booked there was also supposed to be a boat tour included. When we checked in we were told the boat tour was not running today and we would be getting some money back . The tour that we got was very good and had alot of fun but not what we paid for . We are just making sure the refund will be credited to our acount . Thanks

Amazing Niagara Falls Tour! I had an incredible experience on the Niagara Falls tour, and I can't recommend it enough. The highlight of the trip was definitely the horn blower cruise and also our tour guide, Afsheen. He was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Niagara Falls. His enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable and engaging. The tours themselves were well-organized and truly spectacular. From getting up close to the falls to exploring the surrounding attractions, every moment was memorable. Afsheen ensured we had ample time to take in the breathtaking views and capture plenty of photos. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, made all the more special by Afsheen’s excellent guidance. If you're planning a trip to Niagara Falls, I highly recommend booking this tour!
