Exploring Niagara Falls

Our experience with Viator was superb. We were driven to each exhibit by a great chaperone in a luxury sedan. We loved the boat trip to the falls getting wet from the midst but most exciting was the Cave beneath the Falls. Skylon was also an added bonus. The best part was skipping the lines enabling us to do more ( picture taking. Shopping, eating) than we expected . All in all- the trip was one we will never forget. The Canadian Falls are worth seeing :)

Amazing experience

We had an amazing experience and enjoyed all the tourist attractions. The guide was very attentive and kind, giving us several tips on how to make the most of each attraction. We didn’t have to wait in ticket lines and, for one of the activities that was not included, he even helped us get the tickets. The boat tour is incredible, with a beautiful and unforgettable view! The tour to see the tunnel and the waterfall up close is also amazing and definitely worth it. We were able to enjoy everything Niagara had to offer and we will definitely come back. We highly recommend this tour!
