Journey Behind the Falls Ticket
What an enchanting experience! Our tour of Niagara Falls with Take Walks was insightful and entertaining, thanks to our fantastic guide, John M. He kept the tour engaging throughout with historical facts and interesting anecdotes that were genuinely fascinating! The boat ride was thrilling as we got drenched in the mist, and the Journey Behind the Falls offered a unique perspective. A perfect blend of adventure and storytelling - John should be running all of the private tours! Highly recommended!!
The communication was great! It was so nice to know I could be in touch whenever I needed. Great tour as well.
The tour guide is knowledgeable and they cover the things that should be covered.You should eat first or you won’t get the chance
Better views and experience than Maid of the Mist provides. Worth the price and definitely be ready to walk! Our tour guide (DeDe) was amazing.
It was great. You can tell the people had their hearts in it.
Our guide Val was born and bred in Niagara and it showed. Having a guide was a must do! Our party of six were the only ones in the group. Val explained all we needed to know about the falls, some of the quirky details and some of the mind blowing facts. She put us at the start of the lines, showed us all the best places to stand on the boat to get the best views and experience and was extremely patient and informative when it came to the different levels of walking abilities we had amongst us. Very caring. The boat ride was outstanding. The behind the falls experience was good. Val’s explanations were excellent. We would definitely recommend the small group tour.
This was a great tour. Our guide, clementina, was friendly and engaging, even offering recommendations of where to eat and taking pictures for everyone. The VIP benefit of skipping the lines would’ve been even better later in the day when it’s packed (seriously we’ve been watching from our room and every boat out is full and the line is so long it would be miserable). The first boat out was perfect: cool, spacious, and very relaxed. Take your waterproof lanyard if you want to record while it’s practically a downpour in the mist. The boat was the best part. Journey behind the falls is nice for getting pictures and hearing the waterfalls.
Excelent experience , wonderful guide
The meeting point was a great location and easy to find your tour guide. Annette was very cheerful helpful right from the start. The organisation was very good and not rushed. The experience was perfect and showed us the Falls at their best
The Niagra Falls tour, boat ride, and behind the falls view was an amazing experience! Our guide was personable and friendly. She shared history and interesting facts and stories about the area.
