Loved party Marty!

We loved "party" Marty! He really gave 110% by showing us extra sites, answering history questions, and making us laugh! He needs to work as much as he can because he's really great as a tour guide.

Fun way to get wet!!!

The guide, MJ was great. Carol, the person I spoke to at “Over the Falls” tours provided exceptional customer service helping us get to the tour guide. The experience was wonderful for me, the only one of us who had been before, my daughter and her husband, and the grandkids, 14 and 11. Highly recommended by all of us.

Absolute LEGEND

Party Marty was our tour guide and he was an absolute delight and legend. He was so knowledgeable in just about everything! He really made the tour great. The group size was nice, not too many people. The crowds were manageable. It was perfect to go during the off season. We stayed for a week and got to see all the sites. It was an overall great experience. Everyone was incredibly friendly. My friend and I went for a vacation and it was just what we needed to relax and reset.
