What To Expect
After pickup from your Niagara Falls hotel, sit back and relax during the drive to the Upper Niagara River. During the outing, pick up history and lore about Niagara Falls from your guide on board.
Your itinerary includes the greatest hits of Niagara Falls sightseeing. Along the Niagara Parkway, see the Floral Clock, photographed almost as often as the falls. Snap shots of the Old Scow, the Giant Whirlpool, Horseshoe Falls, Goat Island and the Whirlpool Rapids.
Upon arrival at Niagara Falls, step aboard a Niagara City Boat for your cruise that gets you tantalizingly close to the base of the falls.
At Journey Behind the Falls, watch one-fifth of the world’s fresh water crash into the basin below. During summer daylight hours, over 2,800 cubic meters of water cascade over the brink every second, traveling 40 miles per hour (65 kmh).
For a bird’s-eye view of the action, hop into a helicopter that swoops over the falls (tickets can be purchased at a discounted price).
Your tour ends with drop-off back at your hotel.
Note: The Niagara City Boat Cruise is only available April through November as it is closed during winter months due to ice.

The tour started with the guide not knowing where to pick us up. It was downhill from there.
Our guide seemingly had no plan or route. We would arrive at destinations only to find them closed. He would abandon the group mysteriously. It was so odd that other tour guides from other companies actually remarked upon it when they saw us wandering aimlessly. “We stay with our groups” they told us. Must be nice.
The final straw was when we arrived at the Hornblower boat ride. The entire group had purchased tickets through the tour company, but when we arrived at the launch (minus our guide. He had long abandoned us), we all found that our tickets were expired. The Hornblower crew were able to allow us to board… eventually.
Following the ride we were forced once again to trek on foot to a distant location… on our own… to once again meet our guide. When confronted with the reality of this ridiculous situation, our guide flat denied anything was amiss.
We ate our lunch. We paid for it after all! But afterwards parted ways with our guide and forewent the rest of the “tour”.
Essentially, there was no tour. There certainly was no guide. If we could award less than one star we would.
For some context- this was the day of the solar eclipse which I had been looking forward to and planning for 5 years especially due to the fact it was also my birthday. I planned everything well EXCEPT this tour where I trusted that our guide would have the plan and also know where we would be during the eclipse. It was great when he had to ask the group what time everything was happening. It was also a surprise that our lunch was simply at our own hotel at the buffet where we ate the night before. Very disappointed to eat the same food over and again without even a view. We were all supposed to see Skylon Tower and instead we had to ASK for the tickets and go on our own the next day. We were also supposed to see 2 other sites like the Floral clock and something else but the guy just wasn’t letting us know what we were passing and when he did he say “on your Left - no, Right actually”
He also had all the enthusiasm and knowledge of a baked potato. This “tour” was the least fun and engaging tour I’ve ever been on and the low point of our whole experience and my birthday. Don’t book this tour EVER!!!

You advertise a cruise and lunch and instead we had a bus ride and lunch. I had a car I could have take the drive myself. This is not right to advert something that was not in season. The tour director never said anything until I asked him about the boat ride and he said there is not boat. You also advertise the zip line and the zip line is not in season. I am asking for a refund or partial refund because the bus ride and lunch cannot cost $225 per person.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Dear Michael,
We apologize for any inconvenience you experienced during your tour. Unfortunately, the boat ride was unavailable due to closure by Niagara Cruises for the season. Instead, we offered the Journey Behind the Falls experience as an alternative.
Regards,
Vicky

The fall colours were beautiful. The guide was knowledgeable of the area. The drive by the Niagra River was breathtaking.

Our host was amazing. Very accommodating. Loved all the stops. Definitely got up and personal with the Falls behind them and mist from the boat.
Linda_F, Sep 2023
Mostly everything was great! Just some confusion about being sure we were getting picked up at our hotel. I called 3 times to make sure we were gettin picked up, but the confirmations came through keep asking me to put down a pick up point as my reservation wasn’t complete? Even the morning of tour, I waited 10 minutes after time we were supposed to be picked up and called, and sure enough, I think tour guide wasn’t sure. Luckily he picked us up 15 minutes later, and I was glad I called. We got last 2 seats.
Also, I think this tour should, either include lunch for everyone, or don’t offer lunch at all and just let everyone have an hour to do whatever. Way too confusing and time consuming to try and find everyone to continue tour.
Tom, our guide, was excellent!

Behind the falls and lunch was good.
Not happy they were supyto pick us up At the KOA Lundy. We had to drive and pay for parking. Had a long walk to the Skylon tower. You owe us for the parking and inconvenience!

This is an absolute must do. Our guide, John, was extremely knowledgeable. We learned so much more about the area than we would have on our own. The group was small (9) which made it very easy for us to navigate around together. Lunch was very good too! The Journey Behind this Falls and the Boat ride were our absolute favorites, dress to get wet!!!! Some in our group didn’t sign up for all of the ‘extras’ (Skylon Tower, Journey behind the fall, Boat ride, Lunch) would highly recommend saving the hassle, splurge, and do them all, you will be so glad you did.

The tour guide was personable, knowledgeable, and funny. The driving tour covered many points of interest on my personal list of things to do. The boat cruise was great fun, and we were not disappointed in experiencing the waterfalls!
Lunch was delicious, with a good variety of foods offered.
I would do it all again.
