Journey Behind the Falls Ticket
Loved it. The wife and I had an amazing experience. Would highly recommend
We took the Walk tour of Niagara Falls and the Journey Behind the Falls. Our tour guide, Daniel, was incredible! The boat ride was fun.
As two seniors that have traveled the world, and done zillions of tours, we would give the Niagara boat tour an A+! Great tour guide (Alacia) with lots of fun info of tight rope walkers over the falls and going over the falls in a barrel. The Hornblower boat tour was FANTASTIC! SOAKED everywhere, despite the poncho. Tons of water dumped on us and the falls create a lot of wind and blowing. Probably very scary for a kid under six in the crowd, but wonderful for most if you want a thrill. However, we both recommend skipping the Behind the Falls. You see a sheet of water coming down in a tight tunnel. It's nothing. The observation deck is super windy and wet, but not nearly as fun as the boat ride.
I was really looking forward to this experience but was sent an email on the morning of the experience telling me it was cancelled because they had overbooked it. Why didn’t they limit this number of tickets they sold to how many they could take to begin with? Seems ridiculous to me. It was for the nighttime fireworks cruise so I had to scramble to find another plan. Everything else was booked of course so we just ended up watching the fireworks in the park with the giant crowd of people. I wouldn’t have even come to Niagara for that experience. I absolutely do not recommend.
Jeff was a great guide! Had lots of stories to share making the tour way more interesting than just booking the boat tour on its own!
Had a great time, guide was awesome
We had an amazing time on the boat ride to Niagara Falls! The views were absolutely breathtaking, and getting so close to the falls was an unforgettable experience. Our tour guide was friendly, fun, and made the whole trip even more enjoyable with her great energy. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Niagara Falls!
Information on where to meet group. The boat was a great experience, but finding the group was hard due to the lack of information.
Enthusiastic tour guide. Definitely underestimated the walking. Boat ride was amazing and was truly all you needed.
Our Tourguide Sarah was just wonderful! She was very knowledgeable, friendly and was accommodating for the older member in our group.
