Boat not running, but still great 🤩 - Even though we couldn't go on the boat, all the staff we spoke to were great in explaining why and what our alternative offer was. We had Kevin as our guide and he was brilliant. His stories throughout were so engaging and he was great with all ages. He also made sure everyone felt involved throughout.

Worth it - This is a great tour- it’s worth the money as you are the first ones on the boat you get your choice of where to stand! The guide Marco was great and explained every step of the way. He told us what would happen and afforded us breaks with plenty of time. We went in November so the most can be strong and cool - you will get wet mostly your legs but they dry quickly enough. Then he walks us along the scenic area near the falls and tells us more history of the area with stories and anecdotes! He is patient and paces the walk well taking care to warn us about obstacles. We finish the tour at the table rock center and provides us our tickets! A great timed tour and just what we needed to visit.

Niagara Falls boat tour and behind the falls experience - The boat ride & being so close to the waterfall was awesome.. The behind the falls experience was also amazing. But what really made it great was our tour guide Marc G.. he shared so much information and interesting anecdotes that made the tour a lot of fun

Breathtaking views! - The boat cruise was absolutely incredible! Being so close to the falls was an unforgettable experience. Peggy was our tour guide and she went above and beyond. She had some great Niagara Falls stories to tell and she was very charismatic and informational. Request her if you decide to go on this adventure. She was great!

Cultural and geographical diversity at low prices - Our trip to the Balkans with First Voyages went very well. Beautiful sights to visit: monuments, sea, lake, mountains. The coach tour caused little fatigue, through 4 countries bordering each other. The hotels were more than satisfactory, and the guide cultivated as well as attentive to the group satisfied us. I recommend this travel agency!
