Salvatore was very informative and his guidance was clear. Amazing trip and seeing the falls in winter made the trip even more special surrounded by snow and ice. Well organised and any questions the team responded to quickly.

excursion très bien organisée. Guide très intéressant par ses explications et ses commentaires, et prêt à répondre à toutes questions relatives à l'excursion et, plus largement, à la visite de Toronto.

Easy way to see the Falls, being picked up from the hotel meant there were no worries about trying to navigate around Toronto to find a pick-up point

The tour was great, the part that I didn't like was the Maple syrup tasting.

Everything are well organized. The driver / guide a.
