Hearing the passengers in the front of the Maid of the Mist yell with joy as the water from the big fall hit their faces. We had our turn next!

Great Guide experience
Sharon_J, Aug 2023
We had a wonderful guide named Ray. He was not only very knowledgeable but very patient as I was slower than the group due to having had a recent hip replacement and had booked being unaware of the amount of walking from the Hard Rock Cafe to the beginning of the tour. We were just on the Maiden Voyage part of the tour (not including the wind tunnel) and the walking distance was by far anything we expected. I walk with a cane during this hip recovery time. When I called to book it, I explained that to the person taking my reservation, but she said nothing about the distance. Ray was terrific- both nice and patient.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for your review! We're so glad that you had a great time on tour with Ray! We apologize for the miscommunication about the distance. We typically give anyone who calls in with mobility issues a list of resources they can use for wheelchair and mobility scooter rentals as well as a full description of the tour and the distance. We appreciate you letting us know this was not received so we can use this as a training opportunity and ensure it does not happen again.
A wonderful majestic experience.

Going so close to the falls. The “mist” became a shower. The beauty and power of the falls was amazing.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you!
Best idea ever
Robbie_O, Aug 2023
Waterfall is a very beautiful sight a must-see event. My wife and I was amazed on the size of the waterfalls
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you Robbie!
Not worth the charge
Monica_F, Aug 2023
It was ok , the 2 hours is not a boat ride . The boat ride is about less than 30 minutes. Entire time spent getting to the boat and off the boat so tiring . After all that you don’t want to do the walk tour . I thought this was a full boat tour. We met 12 pm waited 45 minutes for info on park . Stood another 30 minutes in line . Got on the boat did a circle around Niagara Falls then it’s over not worth what I paid. Should be in detail so I can decide if I wanna pay over $100 .
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Hi Monica, thank you for touring with us! We apologize for the misunderstanding of the tour. We do our best to make sure everyone who's touring with us knows what to expect on the day of their tour and have a complete itinerary listed in the "What to Expect" section of this booking that shows the Maid of the Mist Boat Ride to be a total of around 30 minutes. Yes, the walking tour and boat ride costs more than just the boat ride because you get a tour guide with stories and facts about the falls as well as the boat ride. We believe the additional cost for the hour with a guide to be adequately priced and up to industry standard.
Nico is a gem!
Mary_H, Jul 2023
Nico is perfect for the job! He is knowledgable, friendly, funny and seems to love what he does. His enthusiasm was infectious! He truly loves the park and loves sharing it with people.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you Mary! Nico is a great guide and we're so happy you loved your tour with him!

Amazing trip - Visit Lewiston for lunch / dinner
Alistair_F, Jun 2023
We had an amazing time on the tour and loved the boat ride into the falls. Billy was a fantastic guide. His best bit of advice was to visit Lewiston which about 15 mins away by car. He recommended the Griffin by the river for lunch which has been our favourite meal out so far. Thanks Billy, but keep working on the jokes !
Response from Host, Jul 2023
Thank you! We love being able to share our home with our guests. Billy will be thrilled to hear you loved his tour and recommendations!
