From the word go Alora was so engaging and full of energy, when we walked around she made sure the whole group enjoyed it at their own pace. Really knowledgeable about the area and history of the Niagara Falls, gave great recommendations for after the tour and nothing was to much trouble for her. Any group being show around by Alora is in for the best value tour which has been the highlight of our trip to Canada.

The best day - with temperatures being 100 - this was the best thing we did. The tour from booking to pick up at the front door of our hotel to a very comfortable cool transportation was perfect. Cannot say enough about our tour guide who was very knowledgeable & accommodating. Most sites we visited were fast passed skipped those long lines. Can't say enough - thank you all -

Joe was an amazing tour guide! He made sure our questions were answered, he provided us a lot of information about Niagara Falls and the local area and kept it a good pace for everyone in the tour. My one suggestion is at the end of the tour, you provide transportation back to the starting point for the money that was spent or offer it as an option.

Our guide was great, but it was hard to hear him. Maybe guides should have portable microphone/speakers so it's easier to understand them? We also felt rushed. Most of our party had mobility issues (one in a wheelchair), so it was hard to keep up/we kept falling behind. There's no mention as to how strenuous it is to walk between attractions (it was exhausting). Maybe Headout could consider ADA friendly tours that have dedicated shuttles to get people with disabilities and their parties to each attraction. Even if this is not something scheduled that can be booked, it could be listed as being "by request".

Amazing Niagara Falls Tour! I had an incredible experience on the Niagara Falls tour, and I can't recommend it enough. The highlight of the trip was definitely the horn blower cruise and also our tour guide, Afsheen. He was fantastic—friendly, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the beauty and history of Niagara Falls. His enthusiasm made the tour even more enjoyable and engaging. The tours themselves were well-organized and truly spectacular. From getting up close to the falls to exploring the surrounding attractions, every moment was memorable. Afsheen ensured we had ample time to take in the breathtaking views and capture plenty of photos. Overall, this was a wonderful experience, made all the more special by Afsheen’s excellent guidance. If you're planning a trip to Niagara Falls, I highly recommend booking this tour!

Tour was supposed to be 2 hours with a guide and end at table rock. In total (with the hornblower cruise!) it was 55 minutes. There was not much "guidance" and totally overpriced for someone to show us a couple of things and guide you to the cruise. It ended immediately after the boat ride. The mentioned discounts for the souvenir shops did not apply! I wouls not recommend this to anyone as it makes more sense to buy the boat ride directly there and save a lot of money. Would appreciate a partial refund as this was definitely not what was advertised.
Ann
Jun 2025Verified booking
There was really nothing to love. Since I primarily bought the ticket for the Hornblower Cruise, my husband and I went straight to the place that said Niagara City Cruises. I showed my ticket to the man at the entrance and asked if we were at the right place. He said yes. So we proceeded on and on and on. When they finally scanned the ticket, right before boarding, they said that we were NOT in the right place, and that we should be on a tour instead. Of course, by that time, it was way past our ticketed time. They would not honor my ticket, even though it clearly stated that it included a Hornblower Cruise. We ended up spending the money to buy two more tickets. Clearly, it was a very frustrating and disappointing experience.

We elected to go for the 'behind the falls' + the tower+a boat trip. We really enjoyed the trip overall - if we had a citicism it would be that the first part of the tour (behind the falls) felt rushed as we had only. 45 minutes to queue,descend see the 3 viewing points quickly and queue again for the lift back up in order to get the coach to the tower. We would have preferred more time to get more pictures and felt this was not organised for the visitors convenience. We also felt rushed when we stopped at the maple syrup stop which we enjoyed. The guide was good and answered all my questions. The falls were spectacular.

the the skylone tower, boat ride and being behind the falls was pretty good and as expected. I would've liked some free time (as advertised) from the tour company to be able to see more of the town. We lost some time due to traffic and road closures in Toronto so at Niagara times felt very crunched and a bit rushed (not enough time for sightseeing or eating) Maple testing, and floral clock is something you can definitely skip, not much there Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful

Peter

We elected to go for the 'behind the falls' + the tower+a boat trip. We really enjoyed the trip overall - if we had a citicism it would be that the first part of the tour (behind the falls) felt rushed as we had only. 45 minutes to queue,descend see the 3 viewing points quickly and queue again for the lift back up in order to get the coach to the tower. We would have preferred more time to get more pictures and felt this was not organised for the visitors convenience. We also felt rushed when we stopped at the maple syrup stop which we enjoyed. The guide was good and answered all my questions. The falls were spectacular.

the the skylone tower, boat ride and being behind the falls was pretty good and as expected. I would've liked some free time (as advertised) from the tour company to be able to see more of the town. We lost some time due to traffic and road closures in Toronto so at Niagara times felt very crunched and a bit rushed (not enough time for sightseeing or eating) Maple testing, and floral clock is something you can definitely skip, not much there Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful

Other than being directed on my tickets to the wrong meeting point which created a lot of extra unnecessary walking to get to the right place, the tour itself was exciting and very good.

The entire experience was awesome! Boarding the boat was easy, lots of interesting information along the walking tour from the boat to the journey behind the falls. Make sure to wear comfortable shoes! A water bag isn't necessary bc the ponchos they provide will cover you and a backpack.
