Wonderful experience - What an amazing experience!! The falls were absolutely beautiful and it was amazing to be able to see them from both the American and Canadian side. It was great having a tour guide to navigate us through things. It made it very convenient for us. He handled all the tickets for the attractions and we got to cut to the front of the lines. The border crossing was also easy and hassle free. We were picked up and dropped off right from our hotel.Our tour guide Ross was wonderful. He was very knowledgeable and upbeat making our tour enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this tour!
