It is a walking tour that is very doable and well worth the money! Logan was our tour guide and did a great job.

Excellent experience!

Our tour guide was extremely knowledgable and so nice! He guided us on a wonderful tour, providing us with tons of information and insider tips. We were able to get right into the attractions. Pre-paying for the trip allowed us to go from trolley to attraction without worrying about purchasing tickets each time.

We <3 Shelly

This is our second time coming to Niagara Falls as a family and our second booked tour, but this time around it was extremely fun and definitely stood out. Shelly, our tour guide, made the trip stand out because she made it personal and all about connection. Of course we visited what we came to see, but she added a level only a local could ;). She told us all sorts of personal stories about her time growing up in the area, took us to some niche spots and shared some of her favorite areas she recommends we visit. This was a one of a kind tour and we are extremely satisfied with this trip! Can’t wait to come back next year.
