I really like how the folks who organized the tour make it a point to talk to all the folks in the group to try and get to know where everyone is from and a little about the family. It felt personable and not like you're another body on their tour but that they genuinely want to know where their "guests " are from; not just another customer. I would recommend their tour to anyone looking to do one. Maid of the mist was the coolest experience! What a view of all the falls. Would recommend a camera with a handle of some sort. Horseshoe falls was windy and wet! I was worried about dropping my phone. A lot of people start pushing to get to the railing of the ship. Not everyone on the boat is from your tour group. We got on the boat and stood by the side rail of the boat to get the view. My son and I were standing there by ourselves and people start filling in. As you get close to the falls people push you out of the way to try and squeeze in to get their photo. We were literally pushed out of the way. Hence the reason I was worried about dropping my phone. Cave of the winds also an experience but not what I was expecting. Maybe I didn't do my research but, I thought it was something different. The staircase down to the falls was pretty cool, you really get a glimpse of how powerful the falls are. You're right up there next to the American fall, it was very wet and windy. I got a little nervous, if you drop anything, it's gone. Hard to take pictures with hurricane force winds and the amount of water coming at you. Definitely suggest a camera with some sort of a handle or something. Saw a certificate in a gift shop that said I survived the hurricane winds of cave of the winds...had I have known it was going to be what it was I might have chosen not to do this part of the tour. But at the same time it was a pretty cool experience. I have no regrets doing it, just wasn't expecting to get blasted and soaked by the falls!

When I presented my tickets, I was told that my tickets would not be honored and I would need to purchase new ones! The worst part is that the tickets I purchased by this scam company were $25 more! I paid this trash company almost twice as much! I booked them through Viator and Viator needs to do a better job of vetting their contractors. I have contacted my credit card company, disputing the charge! Do not use this company, at least for Niagara Falls Maid of the Mist boat ride.....go through Maid of the Midst directly!!!! Total disappointment with this company!

They charged $120.00 per person plus hidden gas fee which they did not disclose. The cost to go on the attractions they are getting you on is close to $60.00 per person (Maid of the mist and Cave of Winds). The other attractions on their list cost is $0.00. Also, They said they will give you a 3 to 3 1/2 hour tour, our tour guide left after 1 1/2 hours because the attractions they are taking us to is FREE. It is not worth it. Get to the falls early, get your tickets, enjoy the day and do not spend money on a wasteful expense.

To see the magic of the Falls from the eyes of a child is amazing. I think this is my fifth time to Niagara Falls and it didn't get old. There is something new I see each time. The employees were kind and did a great job providing directions and keeping the line moving. We had no wait to board the ship. We were told 600 people could fit at one time. It was cool to find out the ship was fully electric and didn't have harmful emissions. The ride was very informative and we learned fun facts about the Falls. We definitely got wet but it felt good in the otherwise 85 degree weather. The ride is only about 20 minutes and totally worth it. Afterwards there were plenty of shopping and restaurants nearby within walking distance so we didn't have to move our vehicle. Definitely recommend this family friendly experience. It was cool seeing many generations represented.

The process was very fast. The views on the observation deck were great and led us to the elevator which takes you down to the boat. The elevators are packed full and have pre recorded messages with information about the descent (it would be a long walk down) We made our way down and were given ponchos. We had a quick wait to get onto the next boat. Due to this we were the first to board and got a great spot for the ride. The boats are all electric and as the ride goes on they have pre recorded information about the ship. Very informative and interesting. You really do get so close to the falls! As we got closer, the wind and water picked up making for a very exhilarating experience. Ponchos did help to keep us dry. It was a very fun experience. A little bit bumpy so be sure to hold on. It was very hot during our visit so this was a great way to cool off. I would say this is a must see if you visit Niagara Falls. I also liked that they had recycling bins to deposit your poncho in afterwards. I was concerned with the amount of waste with the ponchos but the bins are clearly marked right after you exit the boat. Really appreciated this and made sure to recycle our ponchos.

Additionally, it starts at 4337, not 4317 Queen St. prices remain the same, though. Our guide, Linda, was prompt at 8:30 for our small group of 8. Others who showed late decided to come another day. Linda is a history buff, but within her close to two-hour tour you learn she grew up in the area. As a young teen in the 70s, she would sneak out with her friends at night to get around the old buildings and spooky ghosts. She, later in life, would then cull a lot of public records and newspaper articles to learn the history of many of the old buildings and the stories about who owned them and who died in them. She then had something to say about each building we walked by. Some now owners don't want anything said, some have had tv shows feature them, and sometimes newer generation family members of those she had talked about on tour have been on the tour. There are some places she will not stand - she'll tell you on the tour why. Unfortunately, a lot of these formerly grand buildings have been abandoned for decades. Overall, Linda likes what she does, and knows what she is talking about. She tells her stories in a pleasant way and was very easygoing. She has been involved with séances, and has run overnight ghost haunts. I'm not so sure I'd be into that kind of thing. Maybe? So there are reported ghosts and sightings and feelings and haunts. Linda believes and will gladly tell you about it. It's cool. $65 Canadian including tip for 3 adults, 1 kid. Kids go to age 13.
