This was an excellent tour! Vic was a fantastic tour guide with a great sense of humor. He ensured the group stayed on schedule! (There was more to see than I could have imagined!) Not only did we take in the awe inspiring views of the falls, but we were also able to get up close (definitely got wet!! I recommend crocs or shoes that dry easily if you want to stand under the falls! Also maybe an extra t-shirt! And don’t forget sunblock!!) and really experience more than just the view. Vic was knowledgeable about the history and the area. The Maid of Mist was 100% worth it!!! That and the stairs under the falls (cave of rainbows?? I forget the exact name!! Was too busy enjoying the experience!) was amazing. You were literally just surrounded by rainbows the entire time. Vic provided water for the group which was above and beyond. He also ensured the group stayed together and safe. As a solo traveler I felt at ease, and the tour was manageable for families of all ages. (There is quite a bit of walking, but the pace was comfortable enough that all could keep up) loved this tour. 10/10!!! I stayed at the doubletree Hilton, which was also a great stay. Really nice views and access to the river, and great restaurant with outdoor space and plenty of ambiance! Didn’t get to see the falls at night, but it was recommended to watch from the observation tower platform and worth checking out the fireworks!!
