The history and tour was great with Jess
Tour guide Jess was amazing. Only concern was advertising showed we would see the falls illumination and fireworks but we did not see either.

Niagara Falls Tour
Anne, our tour guide, was energetic, knowledgeable, and entertaining. We enjoyed the boat ride and The Cave of the Winds.

Great tour guide!
Ann was fantastic! We had some rogue group mates that dragged the tour on and that is the only reason we gave 4/5 stars. Started at 5, did not leave until 9:40.
