- Liz S00A absolutely brilliant tourThis was the highlight of our time in Niagara. The guide arrived promptly on time and is one of the nicest people we have met while here. We were the only ones on the tour which made it extra special. Our guide Nick was amazing. He had so much knowledge at his fingertips it blew us away. He went above and beyond far exceeding our expectations of the tour. We would recommend this tour as a must do if you want to see all the major attractions Niagara has to offer. We had a fabulous time thanks Nick you are one in a million!
- shennonb202300Behind the scenes of Niagara FallsOur guide was great. Very knowledgeable, and had all kinds of interesting facts. The whole experience was great!
- RJOtraveler00Small group tors are the way to goWe got personal attention and could hear everything our tour guide, Cheryl, told us about the falls and the city. She was incredibly knowledgeable. We experienced the best of views of the falls from an up high view from the Skylon Tower observation deck to behind the falls to a close up on Maid of the Mist. This tour is definitely a must do!
- willkL6791HU00Great tour guide!Cheryl was an amazing tour guide who made our honeymoon tour of Niagara Falls a perfect memory. She was extremely friendly and knowledgeable.
- 261wsl00Great walking tour before boat cruiseThere were four adults, and one 9 year old child that went with us on this walking tour. Our guide met us at the bottom of the Skylon Tower. It was always on time. The walking tour was a little over a mile of walking. It was hard to walk as a large group, though through the crowds of tourists. But overall I would recommend this tour again.
- kathrynhF8100GN00HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!!Jovan, our tour guide, was wonderful! He made our experience stress free and unforgettable! The falls were beautiful and each tour that was a part of this package was unique and breathtaking! Thank you Sea Sight Tours for such a wonderful experience!
- jackiej41200Great day outBest day out ever .. Cheryl our tour person was fab .. so nice polite very informative 10/10 lovely woman .. we were like kids at fun fair buzzing with excitement. Value for money worth every penny and as only 5 of us made it feel that bit personal. I never do reviews but had to for this
- Y4791IZadamb00Falls ViewPrecious was a great tour guide. He was I informative and kept us on schedule. Very knowledgeable of the area. …………………….
- dianeb45400Not to be missed tour!Hands down the best thing we did on our two week trip. Niagara Falls was breathtaking and got better and better seeing it from the Skylon Tower, then behind the Falls, then on the boat. Cheryl was a fantastic host - super enthusiastic - and moved us around the sites efficiently without us ever feeling rushed. Would highly recommend this tour - worth every penny.
- chrishH7615IE00Informative and EducationalThe tour yesterday was very informative, and our guide, Cheryl, was not only personable and social, but she also gave us expert tips on where to go and what to avoid. We are 1000% satisfied with her and with this tour. It was wonderful and we highly recommend it, and Cheryl!
- Navigator13738400This was spectacular!This was excellent! You get to see the falls from up, down, inside and out! I took spectacular photos. Tree colors were amazing and our tour guide was The Best!!!! I can’t recommend this group enough!
- 634jonathanb00Best of our trip by farThis was an outstanding way to experience the falls. From the first view of the falls from above on the tower, to then below and behind , and finally up close on the boat was awe inspiring. Just an amazing phenomenon. Sheryl was a great guide too … really pleasant and knowledgeable and just genuinely seemed to love her job. Would highly recommend
- Tere W00Best of the best of FallsOur guide Sam made our tour of the Falls extra special and full of added info and enthusiasm!! Loved her energy and love for her job!! This tour is AMAZING! Behind, up close and personal in the bot , and from above on the tower!! Worth the $
- Jasonspopma00Would use againFriend and well educated driver. Much faster then going to each place on our own. ****** Your 100 min characters is annoying. ******
- Stay75592300Exceptional TourThis tour was amazing. Jovan was an excellent tour guide and was sure to provide us with all his knowledge of Niagra Falls. Each point of interest (Skylon Tower, Voyage to the Falls, Journey Under the Falls) were excellent sites to behold. Dinner at Table Rock restaurant was excellent and we were fortunate enough to have window seats to enjoy the Falls while we ate. We debated on the Illumination of the Falls part, but decided to go and it turned out to be a fun ending to a fabulous day.

The tour was a small group experience, which was excellent as we all had a chance to get to know one another. The guide showed up promptly and was extremely personable and answered all our questions.
It was a very full day, with a lot to experience. The advantage of doing this tour is that we skipped all the queues to purchase tickets. There were still queues to get *into* the various locations, but not having to buy the tickets cut the wait time by at least 50%. You can pack an awful lot into a day that way...
I was not disappointed by any of the stops and would say that the helicopter ride (down the US side and the back along the Canadian side) was a highlight.

This was an incredible experience - we truly loved it! The day was busy and full and every moment was really great. I was a little concerned about the price, but it was well worth it!
Our guide was absolutely amazing (Joaquim, I believe). He was friendly, informative, efficient, patient - everything you would want and more! While the lunch menu was limited, the food we had was quite delicious. I will say the service in the restaurant could have been a little more attentive and organized, but I wouldn't hold that against the tour company, and it certainly wasn't to a degree that would ever stop me from recommending the tour.
Note - the helicopter ride is pretty short, there are limited window seats, and you are only over the actual falls for a couple minutes. For me this is fine, but I think it did disappoint my husband just a little.
A great way to see the Falls, whether you are visiting for the first time or the 5th time. Definitely splurge on this one!

We where hesitant to get the tour because of the price but it is totally worth it. All the prime tours are included and the helicopter experience is unforgettable. Out guide James was amazing and made the day even better and fun.
Pd, bring flip flops because you’re definitely getting wet.

Our driver Maxwell was great!! He was very informative and answered any questions we had. The best part of the tour was definitely the helicopter tour. Maxwell re-arranged the itinerary as the weather was sketchy for helicopter. But thankfully weather cleared and we were able to do it.

This is the BEST way to see the Niagara Falls. From land, sea, and air.......even behind the falls........you will see the falls from all angles. See Sight Tours has done a great job putting together this tour package and our tour guide, Cheryl, gave 5 star service.
She was attentive and professional making sure our tour exceeded expectations. I highly recommend this tour.

We had a fantastic time. The helicopter ride was probably my personal highlight. Staff were helpful and best of all we avoided the queues. We travelled a couple of hours from Toronto to get there and so it was essential for us to pack it all in on one day. As we arrived by bus independently it meant we had time after the tour to explore too.

We loved all the activities, but the best part was having it all arranged for us. Our fantastic driver/guide, Martina, picked us up at our hotel. There were only 4 guests in our group. She narrated as she drove from activity to activity, got our tickets, gave us insider tips, celebrated our joys, and helped us with photos. We didn't feel rushed, but saw the falls from every perspective except a barrel! It was well worth the price tag!

The whole experience was pretty amazing, however the helicopter ride was the best! Lunch up on the Skylon Tower was pretty cool too! Our guide Cheryl was awesome...very personalable and as a native resident, very knowledgeable about the area.

We loved this day tour and would absolutely suggest it to others! We traveled with our 5 & 8 yo kids and they enjoyed it also! Our tour guide Hussan was informative and friendly. He kept us on schedule and we didn’t have to do anything, it was effortless! Our kids absolutely loved the heli ride and wanted to do it again immediately afterwards. No fear! The lunch served atop the Skylon was good too.

Vinnie at sightsee tours picked us up right on time at our hotel. Vinnie is a local and was able to give us a full history tour on everything we looked at!! He got us to all our destinations safe and on time!! The helicopter was running a little behind and Vinnie contacted our next stops to coordinate the later arrival!! Lunch at Skylon Tower was excellent and a beautiful view!! Definitely ask for Vinnie when you book, you won't be disappointed!!

Is the air quality right now affecting the tour due to the fires and smoke?
How much walking is involved? Are there hills or stairs? My husband has a lung disease and will be using his portable oxygen but he is still limited in his activity. The portable oxygen has a two hour time limit and needs to be plugged in to rejuvenate the battery beyond that time span. He only uses it when he is actively moving.
I was wondering if you have The Niagara Falls Canada Tour ➕️ Helicopter ride package as a Wedding Gift to my Daughter and Husband where it's a night time Cruise and Ride with the Falls lite up?

The tour is Niagra Falls not Toronto. We were collected from our hotel at 9.15am and dropped back at around 4.00pm.
We were there in December so outside the normal tourist season so had the tour and helicopter ride all to ourselves
Hola!! Iria la ultima semana de Noviembre.. mi pregunta es - el paquete seguiría igual?? O se realiza cambio de actividades?

Sorry, I don't speak Spanish but I got it translated.
It will all depends on the weather. To find out more about your package, I suggest you contact your tour company for any back-up activities in case of inclement weather.
Todo dependerá del clima. Para obtener más información acerca de su paquete, le sugiero que se comunique con su compañía de turismo para cualquier actividad de respaldo en caso de mal tiempo.
