Once aboard, choose the best viewing spot before the crowds arrive. A complimentary poncho is provided, and it’s definitely needed! The 20-minute cruise around the falls can soak anyone who ventures close enough. If an afternoon visit is preferred, select the Niagara Falls Afternoon option when booking.

VIP is the way to go!!!!! - Great! Fun! Lots of laughter! Be prepared if it is Winter! Two layers including pants, hand and feet warmers are just nice to have; 2nd dry head covering for after the boat; bring a small water proof bag of dry head gear and gloves; and wear bags in your shoes to prevent your feet from getting wet. Linda was a great tour guide! She told us places to eat, not eat, go and not worth the money and of a absolutely beautiful "Hallmark" town called Niagara on the Lake! It is a must see! Nina's bakery there is awesome!!! You need a car to go to Niagara on the Lake. It is about 38 minutes away from the Falls. Ferris Wheel is worth the money if you would like to see everything around you to determine what places you want to go.
The broadwalk is also great ( which is where the Ferris Wheel is located). It is like Vegas for kids!!!!

Great guide! - Linda was a fabulous tour guide. As a local who has lived in Niagara her whole life, her passion for the area and its history is evident and she gave us some excellent tips on where to go for the rest of our day in the area. The falls are a must see!

Tim truly makes it 100% worth it - If I could give 10 stars, I would — and they’d all go to Tim! Our Niagara Falls tour today was nothing short of extraordinary, and it’s all because of him. This man doesn’t just guide a tour… he brings the entire experience to life.
Tim spoke with so much heart, knowledge, and enthusiasm that we felt like we were discovering the falls for the first time in history. He didn’t rush a single moment, he shared stories we’d never hear on our own, and he gave us the kind of insight that turns a scenic stop into a once-in-a-lifetime memory.
Every viewpoint, every fact, every hidden detail he chose to share showed just how dedicated he is to giving an unforgettable experience. His passion for the falls is contagious — you don’t just see Niagara with Tim, you feel it, understand it, and fall in love with it.
Our trip would NOT have been the same without him. If you’re coming to Niagara Falls, the smartest thing you can do is book a tour with Tim. He made our day unforgettable in a way no brochure, no video, and no other guide could ever match.
Highly, HIGHLY recommended!
