Excellent
We had the absolute best tour with guide Tim Kelley. He was very personable, professional and knowledgeable and loved showing a small piece of his native Canada.
The meeting place directions had us turned around a bit. We did a practice run the day before… kept bringing us to Niagara Falls NY and tour initiated on the Canadian side. “Support” on the website was terrible… no response to question on line, made a call and was told I would receive a call back which didn’t happen. Not sure I would book through you again for a tour.

Is this tour in Canada or the United States?
This tour takes place in Niagara Falls, Canada and includes experiences on the Canadian side of the Falls, such as the Niagara City Cruise. Guests will need to be in Canada at the time of the tour and ensure they have the appropriate travel documents if crossing the border from the U.S.
How much walking is involved on this tour?
This tour covers approximately 2 miles at a steady pace, with minimal stops along the way. While we pause briefly at key viewpoints, most of the tour involves walking between attractions to stay on schedule. We recommend wearing comfortable shoes and being prepared for a full walking experience.
Is this tour suitable for wheelchair users or guests with limited mobility?
We do not recommend this tour for wheelchair users or guests with pushchairs. The fast-paced nature of the itinerary—designed to ensure we cover several landmarks in a short amount of time—can be challenging for those with limited mobility. However, the tour is stroller accessible for families traveling with young children.
