What To Expect

Cave of the Winds

First, you will be given the opportunity to get as close as possible to Niagara Falls by taking part in the Cave of the Winds tour. An elevator will be waiting to take you into the Niagara Gorge where you will be sent on your way to explore wooden walkways with a tour guide. The walkways will get you as close to the falls as possible.

Maid Of The Mist

You will then hop aboard the Maid of the Mist where you will take in the views of the Majestic Falls from the water.

Niagara Falls Observation Tower

From there, you will head up to the American Observation Tower extending out over Niagara Gorge.

Goat Island

Then it's off to Goat Island where you'll be able to see all three Falls from different points. Don’t forget your camera because there are some wonderful views you will want to make sure you preserve on film.

This was a really great tour as we had 5 hours to spend seeing the sights. We got so close to the Falls. Pikachu, our guide was awesome!

This tour was a great taste of everything you want to see on the USA side of the falls. Small group with knowledgable and interactive tour guides. Highly recommend!

I was really looking forward to this tour but ended up being disappointed. To start, I was told that the pick-up time would be emailed 1-2 days before the tour. When I hadn't received anything, I emailed asking for the details and received no response. We finally had to call on Friday at 5pm to try to find out and were told the time. Not the end of the world but definitely not the best customer service. The tour started well with a great time at the Cave of the Winds. Unfortunately, when we went to get tickets for the Maid of the Mist, we were told the boats weren't running due to a safety concern. I don't fault the tour for this as it was completely out of their control. However, our guide had to go deal with his other tour so we were essentially abandoned at the observation tower/park for over an hour with little to do and weren't sure when/where we would be picked up. We made the best of it but if we hadn't left items in the tour vehicle, we would have gotten an Uber and left on our own. I understand the efficiency of having one tour guide with multiple tours but there should be a backup plan so clients are taken care of when things don't go according to plan. We were refunded the cost of the tickets for the Maid of the Mist but it still wasted our time. Either way, we were disappointed and wished we would have done things on our own. It definitely wasn't worth the money.
