Pros - The views of the falls were amazing and our tour guide, Larry was super nice and gave us a lot of interesting information. Larry was very organized keeping us all together. We stopped for lunch at a bakery place that was very good and the prices were great. I enjoyed seeing the whirlpool area along with cave of the winds riding on the maid of the mist and going to the observation tower. Cons - We started the tour at the welcome center, which is basically a huge souvenir shop. Halfway through the tour we went to another souvenir shop, which was part of a hotel. Then Towards the end of the tour after we got off the maid of the mist, we spent another 20 minutes or so at the maid of the mist souvenir shop. Of course, if you are in Niagara Falls, you have plenty of opportunities to go to souvenir shops so I don’t know why so many souvenir shops were included in the tour, especially since they don’t mention it at all in the description of the tour. Of course this is not Larry’s fault but I, just felt like we probably spent about an hour total at souvenir shops if you include starting at the welcome center.
