This was one of the very best tours my husband and I have ever taken, and we highly recommend it. First, our amazing tour guide, Nick, picked us up in a lovely coach right in front of our hotel. Then we crossed into the US and went on an absolutely thrilling ride on The Maid of the Mist and had an incredible, up-close experience with the Falls at The Cave of the Winds. The rest of the tour is exactly as described, and allows plenty of time for a little individual exploration, Finally, I can not say enough about our fantastic tour guide, Nick. Although the beauty and majesty of the Falls speak for themselves, Nick's warmth, great sense of humor and knowledge of all things Niagara really made the trip complete. Nick made us feel like one big, happy family (Go Team Nick!), and made sure that everyone laughed throughout the day.
Take this tour and request Nick - you won't be sorry!!
PS I highly recommend that you either bring or wear water shoes or sandals that can get wet &/or dry quickly for the Cave of the Winds tour.
