Pick up was as per scheduled time, easy to find location of same. Tour guide told interesting facts during the journey. We attended on the first day of the boat tour re-commencing, and was offered this option despite the extra work for the tour company to plan. Free time in Niagara was appropriately timed, interesting trip.

Good trip to and from the falls. Commentary and advice from Salvatore very helpful. Bought tickets for the behind the falls journey and Fury. Would not recommend Fury, it was very poor, cartoon for kids didn't say much and the fly around the falls being sprayed with water has a lot of untapped potential but awful.

Very good tour, very trustworthy operator and company with the app etc. customer services were helpful to when I wanted to confirm my pick-up location. I will use again when traveling and recommend this tour and others they provide. You get off a the vegas style strip and go straight to the boat tour which is amazing. I recommend going to the lower deck if it is packed with families as you will see more there. Prepare to get soaked though.
