The tour operator was nice and very informative. He was on schedule with picking us up. The wine tasting was interesting as we didn’t know there were vineyards in Canada. The lunch package that we selected as part of the tour was great. The food was excellent and our waitress was pleasant as she accommodated any needs we had. The view of the falls as we were eating was very beautiful. I would recommend this tour to my family and friends.”
