Loved helicopter but needs to be a bit longer. Very short (for price) compared to several other cities we flew in. Still great and safe and professionally done. We asked for boat and lunch to be switched because several ladies are older and didn’t want to sit for lunch in a soaked outfit and soaked shoes. Should never book the boat ahead of the skylon lunch. Lunch was good but very crowded. It took forever to get an elevator down. I would recommend never going to the observation deck. Waiting in a 500 person line is ridiculous. I know the tour can’t control that to any degree but please start advising older people they will be standing for hours IF THEY GO UP. Please advise older people folks to just go down from the restaurant. Overall very positive and happy we went. Gave our guide a good tip as he was fantastic and very personable and knowledgeable about the area and history.

The staff (especially our driver) went above and beyond to make sure we got to the right places at the right time and gave suggestions for each activity. His instructions were clear. Every part of this activity was well organized and all the staff were extremely knowledgeable and courteous.

Full description

Your thrilling day tour of Niagara Falls begins with pick up directly from your hotel in Niagara Falls. Next, you’ll enjoy a narrated driving tour of the city before heading to your first stop at Journey Behind the Falls.

At Journey Behind the Falls you will descend 125 ft (approx. 40m) to explore cave-like tunnels behind the Falls at Journey Behind the Falls. The tunnels lead to two observation decks, giving you a great photo opportunity.

Your next experience will be a hard vacation memory to top as you take the ride of a lifetime - a helicopter tour around Niagara Falls, the gorge and the surrounding area. The photos you’ll take while on board are guaranteed to make your friends jealous, yet still won’t compare to the feeling of catching this view in person.

After your helicopter tour, your guide will take you to board the Hornblower Niagara Cruises boat ride (seasonal, operating May - October only, replaced with admission to Niagara's Fury and Butterfly Conservatory in the winter months). On your cruise, you will sail around the Niagara gorge and get as close as possible to the Falls.

Next, you will visit the Skylon Tower where you’ll head up a glass elevator to the restaurant where you will be treated to an incredible view of the Falls while you enjoy lunch. When you’re done eating, you can take the elevator up a floor to the observation deck area where you can snap selfies with the perfect backdrop.

During the final portion of your tour, your guide will take you on a narrated driving tour of the city where you will learn about Niagara’s rich history and distinct geography. Your guide will take you to several points of interest including the Dufferin Islands, the International Control Dam, the Old Scow, and Whirlpool Rapids.

At the end of your tour, your guide will drop you off back at your hotel.

Our guide was very nice and drove us to a few places and explained different sights. We went to the Falls Walk first, which lets you go behind the falls and onto the observation deck, adjacent to the falls. Some great pictures there. Next we went to fly on the helicopter, which was a fantastic experience. My son got to fly in the front seat and really enjoyed it. After that we rode the boat to the bottom of the falls and finished with a buffet style lunch in the Skylon Tower, which is included with the cost of this package. Another great view while you eat. Only drinks are extra. You also get to go onto the observation deck. I found this to be worth the cost.
