    Let me begin by stating that David was the greatest travel advisor ever. He made my husband and I very happy to meet him. He was extremely professional, kind, and knowledgeable about the history of the Niagara Falls. He also made the material interesting to learn. This was my husband and I's first time visiting the falls, and he just made us feel at home. He has such a sweet personality and went above and beyond for us. The best tour guide out there is David! We for sure will be visiting again! -Cynithia & Rick

    We booked this as we wanted to know more about the falls and our guide Mary really did make a difference. She was right on time at the meeting place and immediately gave us a true sense of the history of the falls and the majesty of them, together with a lot of humour. Well worth the money and I’d certainly do it again!

    Brett, our guide, gave us a wonderful tour filled with Niagara Falls history and fun facts. He helped us board the Maid of the Mist and gave us tips on the best places to stand on the boat for great views, and the views were spectacular. Afterwards, we all walked together in the state park, where Brett discussed Niagara Falls geology and history and the daredevils that risked their lives at the falls successfully and not. A most enjoyable experience!
