Amazing Anniversary Trip! - On a recent anniversary trip, we took the Niagara Falls small group tour with Maid of the Mist and helicopter ride tour. Our guide, Ahman, was incredibly professional and thoughtful as he led us through an amazing day experiencing all aspects surrounding the wonder of the falls. For part of our tour we were with a family who were such a joy to move from one location to another. Ahman’s passion and knowledge was obvious as he explained and answered questions all morning long. The beautiful weather held so he was able to navigate the schedule and we were able to do every item on the list! We highly recommend Tripshepherd and Ahman for a wonderful tour experience!

Awesome experience - Helicopter ride, the 1st time the kids have ever flown and a bucket list item for me. The Maid of the Mist was so much fun. I can’t believe how close we got to the Canadian falls.

Perfect tour at the falls! - We had an amazing experience and our tour guide Jimmy “coyote” was the man! He made us comfortable the whole day and was very informative. Couldn’t have asked for a better day at the falls!

Excellent Guide and Tour for a Bucket List Day in Niagara Falls - Our tour was a great way to maximize our time in Niagara Falls. Jimmy picked us up right on time and helped us move efficiently from site to site. He was often able to help us by-pass long lines and gave us tips at each location to help make the best of our experience. For us, the highlights of the tour were Maid of the Mist and Cave of the Winds, but everything else was excellent too. If you wish to select a tour, I highly recommend this one and Jimmy as a guide.

BEST trip with Saied!!! - This was our first trip to Niagara Falls
and it rained the whole day during our excursions. Bummer, right?? Absolutely not! Saied made it an adventure and we had an absolute blast. He always went the extra mile to pick us up right at the door and even had the heat on to help us dry off (we went in July). He provided us with tips to get around the city and beyond. He is a great asset to his company and a pure joy to have as a chaffer. Best tour guide we’ve ever had!

Nice tour! - This was a really nice tour. Our tour guide gave us personal service, taking us to each stop, getting our tickets and picking us up afterwards. Drove around to see some of the sites and told us history of Niagara Falls.
In hindsight, when I booked this tour, we were taking the Amtrak train and staying at a bed-and-breakfast. The train canceled so we had to get a rental car. We could’ve done this much cheaper by visiting the three sites and buying our own tickets, and probably would’ve been able to sit in the front seats of the helicopter, not the back .
