The tour guide was exceptional as were the stops we visited. Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Wind, and lunch at the Anchor bar were all hits. We could not take the Helicopter ride due to low cloud cover, which was our highlight. Sadly, the refund was not what I expected from Viator. I expected better.

The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to skip all of the lines and see everything we wanted to see in 6 hours, in what would have been 2 days because of the crowds. My four teenage sons had a great time as well! Thank you for an amazing day in a beautiful place!!

Helicopter ride was Awesome!! It was all worth it... Our guide Dalton was nice and he told us exactly what to do. He was taking all the trouble of standing in line under hot sun instead of us. He was real nice. We got nice lunch break of 1 and half hour.
