The cave and the mist - This was a lifelong dream of mine, and it did not disappoint! The cave and mist are both a must. It gives you 2 completely different views of the falls. You get wet on both, but they give you a poncho that helps. (A little)

First time visit- well worth taking the tour - Wonderful time. Our first time being here, I don’t think we could’ve navigated our way around to see everything we saw. We definitely got our moneys worth in the tour.

Great Tour! - My fiancé and I had a fantastic experience on the tour with Jimmy Coyote. He was incredibly informative and took his time explaining things thoroughly, making sure we felt engaged and comfortable. His deep knowledge and passion for the area really came through, and I learned so much more than I expected. Highly recommend this tour if you want a meaningful and well-paced experience!

"BEST OF NIagara Falls .. Maid of Mist Boat ride" - Should note that the boat ride DOES NOT happen until the ice clears; not just arbitrarily substitute an aquarium trip, NOT WORTH the $292 for the two of us!!!
