Tour includes many views of the Falls throughout the 5-6 hr tour. Plan for a full day tour. It is a more local view and not just the touristy spots. Ideal if you stay in town so you can go back to your favorite spot the following day and are not rushed.
The Maid of the Mist is certainly the highlight because you get very close, but it is only 30-45 mins. However, what really makes this tour unique is the many different views you get of the Falls.
Which leads me to Tom. He was a very knowledgeable guide. He took us to great places for spotting the Falls and Lakes that were not crowded. He has interesting bits of info from the various locations we stopped by. He is a Buffalo native and has a ton of knowledge and funny stories to entertain you. Our family of 4 was joined by 3 senior couples and two other families w younger kids. With such a diverse group, Tom did a nice job to appeal to everyone and take care of special requests. He was very careful of time and gave us enough on each stop to absorb the views, take our pix.
The tour includes going up the Maid of the Mist, Skylon tower, stop for lunch and probably 3-4 other stops. CARRY your passport and bring some snacks and water in case the border crossing is longer than usual. Note: the tour guides have no influence on border crossing times, so pls give them a break if the crossing is taking longer than usual.
