Kumar was kind, knowledgable, and punctual. The journey & the boat are up close looks and you need raincoats.

Great experience at a great value

The tour guide was very friendly and patient. He was very clear with instructions at each location and provided ample time to see each attraction and still have plenty of personal time. Highly recommend this tour of Niagara falls.

Boat ride was the best part.

Driver was not very friendly or helpful. My daughter always had to move the seat so the people behind could get out of the back row. I think the driver should have been doing that. He was hard to understand and didn't give clear instructions.

This is a great...

This is a great experience and worth the $$$ for the amount of things you get with the Airlink tour company. Smaller tour bus, and small group of people.
