Informative Tour with Great Views - Deanna was very knowledgeable of the area and made the tour interesting and informative. Didn't realize how interesting it would be to explore the power station. There is a ton of good information posted along the walk. The view from Skylon Tour was great especially with Deanna explaining what we were seeing. Highly recommend this tour.

A great tour! - Deanna was a fun and knowledgeable tour guide. We had a blast exploring the power station underground. So cool to see the falls from that perspective! The view from Skylon Tour was great. Deanna gave a good overview of the area. The old power station was so fun to explore. Highly recommend!
