- katarzynapO411LO0 contributionsGreat experience, worth the money.The whole experience was great from start to finish! We had a big group so we had to be split up into two vans but the drivers/guides kept us together for everything else.Written November 18, 2024
- 946fellad0 contributionsHighly recommend!!Highly recommend!! We were part of a group of 6. Our tour guide (Nicolai) shared a lot of interesting history and facts about the area, gave us a few recommendations of other places to visit, and was great at keeping the conversation going. The tour was very well organized— started on time, communication ahead of the tour was good, and the tour itself did not feel rushed at all. We saw a lot in about 4 hours- we definitely would not have seen as much on our own in that amount of time- and we got some amazing pictures! Well worth it- a great experience all around!Written November 13, 2024

- MichelleD58230 contributionsWonderful tour with amazing views of Niagara FallsThis was a well organized and wonderful tour! My husband and I thought this was the perfect way to see the gorgeous falls from multiple view points and very much recommend it. Since it was a small tour (there's a max of 7 people but we only had a total of 5) we could do our own thing at each place and never waited around for a large group of people. We drove in from Buffalo for the 9am tour and had a very easy boarder crossing. Our guide, Vince, was great! Very knowledgable local who was easy going as well as punctual. (TripShepherd also had great communication when we booked the trip.) Vince started us at the Skylon tower. He gave us the tickets, got us into line and told us where and when to meet afterwards. We had just the right amount of time to explore but not wait around. Vince picked us up and drove to Journey Under the Falls giving us info along the way. Again, he gave us the tickets, told us where to go & what to do then picked us up. Very cool views from the bottom and behind the falls. Next was the Voyage to the Falls boat tour (same as the Maid of the Mist boat but from the Canadian side) which was amazing. I Our lower legs and feet get a bit wet but not too bad. We had a chance to grab a bite at the snack place and shop, then Vince took us on a short driving tour. He gave us some fun info about growing up in the area, showed us the power plants, and gave us the hint to take the Lewiston-Queenstown Bridge back to the US to avoid the super long lines on Rainbow Bridge.Written October 29, 2024

- sybilwybil0 contributionsTruly the Best of Niagara Falls Canada Experience!Our tour guide, Ebad, was very friendly and knowledgeable! He gave us much insight to the highlights of Niagara Falls. He had some great stories and was able to answer our many questions. It was so nice to be able to be taken care of with the entrance tickets and lines to the Skylon Tower, The Maid of the Mist boat ride and the Behind the Falls experiences, too. We highly recommend this tour!Written October 27, 2024
- Jane H0 contributionsGreat ExcursionGreat experience. We did everything we wanted to do. The excursion was very comprehensive with all the attractions we wanted included. A fantastic meal at the top of the tower overlooking the falls. Dimetri out guide was very helpful and friendly, making the trip fun and easy. Would strongly recommend the excursion if you want to have a fun day around the falls.Written October 24, 2024
- jonasmallwood0 contributionsAbsolutely brilliant.Our U.K. your company, Bolsover Travel booked this trip for us and I'm SO glad they did. It was 100% fantastic, brilliant, amazing. Our guide/ driver was NIKOLA - If you book a trip with Trip Shepherd, ASK FOR HIM! He must be best in business - friendly, knowledgeable, great driver Nothing was too much trouble and he made our day perfect. Thanks Nikola (You will remember me as the UK runner who checked for the old guys who were late back to our bus). Nikola picked us up from our hotel & took 5 of us to: ...Helicopter ride BRILLIANT! ...Walk behind the Falls AMAZING ...Boat ride into Horseshoe Falls (Hornblower) CRAZILY GOOD. ...3 course lunch with coffee at the revolving restaurant at the top of The Skylon Tower. PERFECT WAY TO FINISH THE MORNING. Nikola endured everyone had time to complete each visit without rush, and was happy to talk, advise or just chat, throughout the visit. You really need to do this trip!Written October 22, 2024
- F7900YDmarym0 contributionsBest way to start a trip to Niagara FallsWe had a great tour with Precious. We toured the Skylon tower, Journey Behind the Falls, and the boat tour under the falls, plus a visit to the whirlpool area of the Falls. Precious was informative and had all the great tips. He was funny and easy to spend a half day with. Would highly recommend to see a lot of sites with no stress.Written October 22, 2024

This was our second tour with SEESIGHT. As with the first, great service. Our host, Hassan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Due to Covid, a couple itinerary items were cancelled by the locations, but Seesight had wonderful alternatives. Dinner at night in the Skylon Tower was great, The boat to the falls, Captain Hornblower, was fantastic. The White Water Walk really shows the speed and power of the NIagara River. We will definitely book with them again. Thank You Andrea for all your help with the itinerary changes.

Stephanie took us on a private jet ski tour behind the falls with hand made ponchos she designed for each of us. We then went to dinner, where she prepared every gourmet bite by hand. We had 12 courses, starting with oysters, shrimp cocktail (she made the cocktail sauce), French onion soup, a maple vinaigrette salad, charcuteries, tuna tartare, several rounds of other appetizers, steak and lobster, and finally a few rounds of desserts. Following dinner, we went and learned how to make our own fire works, designing the color and pattern of the explosions. While we had to sign hold harmless clauses, it was well worth the experience to see a custom made fireworks show over Niagara Falls. Finally our group got to go up to the falls lighting, where an amazing host named Bill explained true full history of the lighting of the falls, and showed us how it’s done. We even got to see videos of his grandmothers involvement back in the 1960s. It was a truly amazing evening; recommend this tour to everyone!

Worth the money for a nice night out on the town, Our tour guide was very informative and explained what time he would meet us every spot and made sure we got into all the areas quickly.
First I made a mistake on what tour I booked and called customer service, I can’t thank them enough for helping me out and accommodating me with switching to the one I wanted originally,
They pick you up at your hotel and bring you to dinner, the dinner was fantastic, 3 course meal with the view of the falls, you then get driven to the boat cruise to enjoy up and close at the falls then finish it off with the fireworks where you have the best view.
There is a bit of a walk as you park across the street and walk down to the dock where you board and have to walk back after the cruise. So wear good walking shoes.
We then met the tour guide to go see the building where you get to choose a colour of the falls.
We have no complaints from customer service to the tour, enjoyed our evening completely

This was the worst experience! The only thing that was supposed to happen was the dinner. We were picked up and taken on a short tour of area and then to ride the boat but was told the last boat had just left. Was offered tickets for boat next day but no transportation and we had already plans. Dinner was fine but then was supposed to be able to change lights on falls but when we got there was told we would have to wait a half hour. By that time we had had it. Was given a refund of $41.87 for for two people (not each) when we had spent $338.75 for two. Very very disappointed! Would not recommend.

From the start, nothing went according to plan. We were picked up from the hotel and took a brief drive around the area. Unfortunately we missed the last boat for the night and didn’t do the night cruise. We were offered a refund but still had to do the dinner at 7:30. We were ok with that. Dinner was good but not great. Then we were supposed to go to the place where they operate the lights on the falls. Scheduled time was 9 pm but when we got there, we were told we would have to wait until 9:30. We were given the option to pass on that and just return to the hotel, which we did. We paid $191/person and only received dinner and a lift to and from the hotel. Our refund is only $21/person, so dinner and a cab ride cost us $170 each. Very disappointed in this. Waiting to get a call back to negotiate the refund.

Jay was a fantastic tour guide. Very knowledgeable. He took us for a ride around town pointing out some very beautiful buildings and shared history with us. We then went on the boat cruise and it was fun. We recommend going on the top deck although Jay did provide us with a safer option that we didn’t take. Then it was off to the lovely dinner. No complaints there with the falls lit up! Then we went off to change the lights at the falls. All was as promised
BUT, the reason we took this tour…was the picture that is used on the advertisement. We thought we would see the fireworks from a special vantage point. My daughter was so excited. But somehow a VIP tour was scheduled for the same time and the (3) of us and another party missed the fireworks as we were told we could not stay at the station. Such a disappointment. Jay was also surprised and very apologetic which we appreciated but this did not change the fact that it was an experience that we missed.

Absolutely astonoshing! Awe struck! From start to finish it was the absolute highlight of our trip! Our tour guide, Nik, was the best! The van we rode in had lights in the ceiling (Starry Noght), the history at the beginning & during the entire trip, the dinner with the incredible view of horse shoe falls, fireworks on the hornblower, and the illumination station! Wow, just wow! An experience of a lifetime! Thank you, Nik & Mr. Bill! From Arkansas.

A brilliant tour, so pleased I chose to do this tour of all those available. A really different experience seeing the falls at night. The fireworks over the falls were amazing too seeing them from the boat (check they are running when you go as last display 9th Oct). Food at Table Rock was good and stunning views of the falls. Getting to personally change the illumination colours of the falls was truly memorable! Our tour guide Manesh? was excellent and went out of his way to make our evening superb adding extra little touches to make the whole experience the best. Really recommend!

The Advertising was very misleading. I expected a private table for dinner on a boat in the river. instead my wife and I were seated with another couple and it was at a restaurant not on a boat as I expected. If it was clearer in the title I would not have booked it. The price was too high for what was delivered. I could have booked everything individually and spent way less.

Yes it is (this was a concern for my sister and I), but dress for your taste and definitely for a wet boat ride. On our tour we had persons in shorts and some in more dressy wear. However, they were celebrating a personal event.
