Highlights
  • Maid of the Mist - The ‘Maid Of The Mist’ is a world-famous boat ride that began operation in 1846! During your ride you will get up close to all 3 waterfalls; firstly the American falls, then the Bridal Veil falls and finally the Canadian Horse-Shoe falls. During this unforgettable experience, the mist from the thundering waterfalls showers you! Waterproof ponchos will be available for everyone.

  • Niagara Falls Observation Tower - After taking in the surreal view of the falls from the Maid Of The Mist boat ride, you’ll take an elevator up to the Observation Deck which gives you a different, elevated look over the falls. Pictures taken from this spot are epic!

  • Green Island - Green Island is one of many Islands that surround the Falls, but this one especially falls right in the middle of the American Falls.

  • Nikola Tesla Monument - Your guide will escort you to see the man himself- in statue form of course. Learn about his genius groundbreaking work that we all still experience the benefits of, 70 years on!

  • Goat Island - Your guide will drive you down to Goat Island where you will then take a short walk to Terrapin Point to view the majestic Canadian Horse-Shoe falls from closer than you can imagine!

  • Bridal Veil Falls - Your guide will walk you down to Luna Island to see the Bridal Veil falls and American falls up close, all the while providing you with interesting and exciting information about the history of the falls and details of nature of the falls.

  • Cave of the Winds - This experience is only available on the American side of the falls! During this adventure you will walk through a small interactive museum followed by a thrilling cinema-like experience about Nikola Tesla and his groundbreaking invention, using the water from the falls to generate electricity- a method still used today! After this comes the serious fun; after poncho-ing up yet again, you will walk on a wooden deck right under the Bridal Veil falls, which is rebuilt every year. This is the only place where you can actually touch the water from the falls. Not only is the feel of the water cooling, but the view is indescribable! But there’s more! You’ll then make your way to the hurricane deck where you can experience 60,000 gallons of water thundering down over you (if you wish)!

  • Horseshoe Falls - An unbelievable view of the Canadian Horse-shoe falls from right next to it. Watch from above how the powerful stream of flowing water suddenly thunders down the falls and creates enough mist to see from a mile away!

Awesome experience with Meg and Daily tours at Niagara Falls. - The trip was amazing. Touring the Niagara Falls State Park and seeing the Falls up close was definitely worth the trip. Meg was our tour guide. She was very friendly and informative. We learned many things from her that we wouldn’t have discovered on our own. The Maid of the Mist was wet but great fun, so many laughs with our friends. We have many memories and photos of this trip. I would highly recommend Meg and Daily tours!

Save time and skip the line! - I have been to Niagara Falls several times but this was the first time using a tour. We had family visiting (nine of us total) and only had one day in Niagara and knew we wouldn’t be able to do everything we wanted to if we had to stand in lines for hours. Mohammad was amazing. Yes, you pay more than you would without the tour but we went straight to Maid of the Mist without having to stand in the ticket line that had to be 2-3 hours. (This was a very busy Saturday at the falls.) Afterwords we viewed the falls and walk over to Cave of the Winds and again, no line. VIP treatment. We had dinner reservations across the border and he ensured we finished up in time. (With only our family in the group we were able to go at our pace.) Highly recommend.

Highly recommend! - Seen was excellent, and went over and above to arrange a van to a nearby restaurant when some of our party were fatigued. Small group and personalized tour. We had a blast!

Majestic views!!! - I am soooo glad we did this. Our tour guide Selene was AMAZING! Very knowledgeable with a good personality. Our group was only 4 people, so lines was not much of an issue. Crowds was not too bad either. The views, oh the views and the power of the falls is majestic this tour is a must-see/do. You actually get to touch the water and you get to feel what a hurricane cat 1 feels like as the water hits you on the stairs.

Great Walking Tour Experience - This was my family's first visit to Niagara Falls. Our tour guide Meg was awesome! She was kind, knowledgeable, and engaging. We enjoyed walking to the different sites and had a great time. Maid of the Mist, Cave of the Winds, Horseshoe Falls, Luna and Goat Islands...all must see attractions. I would definitely recommend this for families wanting to see the highlights of the falls and I hope you get to experience Meg as your guide!

25th Anniversary Trip - We loved our tour! Our tour guide, Selen, was fantastic, our tour group was small, and a three hour tour went by in a flash! The cave of the winds was AMAZING and the Maid of the Mist showed a very different and beautiful perspective! And as we were wrapping up, Selen sent us a list of favorite restaurants in the area. Such a fantastic day!
