This half-day tour begins at Niagara Falls State Park, the oldest state park in the United States. From May to October, hop on board the popular Maid of the Mist for a boat ride to the very edge of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, the most powerful waterfall in North America. Take an elevator ride up to the only panoramic view of all three Niagara Falls—the American, Bridal Veil, and Horseshoe Falls—from the Niagara Falls Observation Tower. Stand over Niagara Gorge with an unobstructed view as the waters rage below. Visit Goat Island, a small island in the Niagara River separating Bridal Veil Falls and Horseshoe Falls. Take an elevator ride down into the Niagara Gorge, where seven wooden walkways along the Niagara River lead to the 7 decks of the Cave of the Winds - including the infamous Hurricane Deck, just a few feet from the powerful rush of the falls. After half a day, this tour wraps up, leaving you more time for individual sightseeing.

Everything was great; Shelly was fantastic in every way. Good at everything Everything was on time, and the service was top-notch.
Shelly was amazing. When I come back I hope to have her again!!
It is a walking tour that is very doable and well worth the money! Logan was our tour guide and did a great job.
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.
Ms. Shelly was amazing, definitely think she made the tour unforgettable! Thank you for showing us the magic of Niagara Falls
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.
Shelly was amazing! She was awesome at explaining everything and made it so fun! If you can, make sure you’re with her!
Shelly was a wonderful tour guide. Her knowledge of the area and its history made the tour that much more interesting. The maid of the mist boat ride was so much fun. Also the caves portion was great ! Be prepared to get wet! It was a blast! Highly recommend this Grayline tour.
The best tour of the sights EVER! Fantastic, educative tour guide. Everything was just as stated and even more interesting and fun.
This was the best trip ever! TripAdvisor showed up and showed out. The length of the trip was perfect. The shuttle picked us up from the hotel, Dan was our guide, he was great with the knowledge that he gave us with the Falls. The experience was unexplainable. Dan guided us through each adventure with out standing over us and allowed us to make each adventure memorable by taking our photos and allowing to experience the falls. Great Experience.
