AWESOME addition to our trip to Niagara Falls! Peter let us know right where to meet up for the start of the tour. He greeted us warmly and let us know what to expect. Jennifer took it from there and was completely amazing as she led the group through the park. She was entertaining as well as informative. Very personable and patient as she shared her knowledge of the park and the general area, giving pointers on everything from where to take the best photos to places of interest in the park and nearby. Her expertise made the whole experience run smoothly. She went above and beyond to extend first-class treatment to us all, making each of us feel like a VIP.
