Tunnel to the falls - There is a lot of walking but most is on level ground. Deanna, our tour guide, was excellent. She was very knowledgeable and gave us excellent information.

Nicely done! - Deanna was a great storyteller and passionate about sharing her llove of her hometown! Could have done this on my own but would have truly missed an understanding of what makes the Falls and its surroundings special! Nicely done!’

Deanna, an engineer by... - Deanna, an engineer by profession, was a super guide. This tour is for people who are interested in history and can walk a few miles. The power plant and tunnel walk, which did not include the guide, was full of information. Enjoyed seeing the falls from river level without getting soaked.

The meeting place says... - The meeting place says Skylon Starbucks. We assumed it was the one outside the Skylon, however, it is the location inside that Skylon that is the meeting place. The tour itself was enjoyable. Deanna was a great tour guide, knowledgeable, easy to talk with and considerate of the tourists.

Interesting , informative and worthwhile - Good couple of hours with lots of historical info and sightseeing. Knowledgeable tour guide, friendly and helpful. Cool tunnel walk (literally and figuratively). Worth the walkthrough. A good time for adults only; kids would be bored
