Convenient, accommodating. - Bob was our tour guide and he was terrific! The tour did not include a stop for food, but he took us to a wonderful bakery. We were picked up promptly at 9:30AM at the Niagara Tourist Center and dropped off at 2:30PM. It was as a safe location for us to leave our car during the tour.This is the way to see Niagara Falls and Cave of the Winds without the hassle of parking and waiting in long lines.

Totally worth the time and cost!!! - Our tour guide Shelly was amazing and we learned so much more about the falls, how they work and the best places to see them from. Plus she worked in a few extra stops to get the full flavor of the area and just how beautiful it is. Highly recommend her!!!!

Over priced by 200% plus - We were charged exorbitant prices $ 160+ per person for something that actually would have costed around $50 . Also these high margins were kept by the agents and middlemen . The poor driver was asking us for tips !!!
