5.00We had a wonderful experience. It was a rainy day but when you are going to get wet anyways what difference does it make. Getting up close to the Horseshoe Falls was very cool! The best part of the tour was Cave of the Winds. You get very wet! the ability to experience the Hurricane deck was totally worth the entire excursion. The tour I feel spent the right amount of time at each stop. They operator/guide Jessica was fantastic. She was prompt and kept everything on schedule. She even took the time to tell us a couple extra things we could do in the area. She told us about the Eternal Flame near Buffalo that was a very awesome little side trip for us. Thank you Jessica! I would recommend Over the Falls Tours to others. Our group was only fifteen people and that was nice went on a Thursday,
Don’t miss this tour!

5.00We had a fabulous experience and an excellent guide, Party Marty. Booking this tour was a great decision. It was so nice to have a knowledgeable guide assist with navigating around the area smoothly and getting through all of the attractions. Our awesome guide was able to give info on the area and the history. He also had great recommendations for local eateries. My take away: 1. A guide to help navigate the tourist attractions makes it much more enjoyable. 2. Book the tour early in the morning as the lines are not as long.
Dale is cool!
