4.00This tour required a lot of walking. We were supposed to ride the trolley for part of the tour but only two were running so we ended up walking.

5.00Logan was a wonderful guide and was super knowledgeable. There wasn’t a question we asked that he didn’t have the answer to. The tour was awesome because we were able to see everything and didn’t have to wait in line for tickets.
Paid for a take-care- of- me-tour but only got half of what I paid for.

3.00Logan was efficient for the first half of our tour but midway thru it we noticed that things changed. Found out he failed to pickup a couple from their hotel so we were waiting while they completed the boat portion of the tour. We were glad that the couple joined us because Logan left all of us at the Cave of the Wind. When I objected because the tour description clearly states that we would arrive back at the pickup location when the tour was over. The he description also said it would last 4 hours but we were abandoned after 2.5 hours. It was unprofessional to expect seniors to find their own way back to the pickup location. Other paying guests should not have to assume responsibility but the couple who joined us late helped us get back.
We had a great time...

5.00Above and beyond the normal Niagara Falls experience. Our Tour Guide Logan was so sweet and knowledgeable. I couldn’t believe he was so young and yet so well spoken and well informed. We had a great time.
