- sdrivera30 contributionsGreatest experienceMy husband and I usually don’t do tourist guided tours, but we definitely agree both that booking this tour was the best decision for this trip. Our tour guide, Johnny Mak, was by far the beeeest one, an outstanding one. His energy and enthusiasm captivated our group’s attention during the whole tour. If you are planning to come and visit Niagara Falls this tour is a must and definitely try to get Johnny as your tour guide. Thank you so much Johnny.Written August 31, 2024
- Compass243302123320 contributionsAll Things Niagara Fall!Johnny Mak was a fun and interesting tour guide. He answered all questions thrown his way and gave very interesting information about the area, since he was born and raised there. He had recommendations on restaurants, wineries and where to get inexpensive souvenirs. The stops were fun, not crowded and not rushed, yet we managed to get everything done and back to the hotel on time. 3 additional attractions could be done on your own time and we took advantage of those on another day. Highly recommend this tour!Written August 29, 2024

- davidsH3448ND0 contributionsUp close and personal with NiagaraI did the tunnel - whirlpool - ferry package with my teenager son. We did it on our 2nd day but the falls felt so much more intimate. Great experience. Now, the CAD 400+ for 2 adults feels steep but considering we skip the wait and move in a guided bus for what could have beem easily 5+ hours, it can make sense for some. To top it off, our driver and guide Tony made it really special and fun. Great touch of humor, information, and history that he adds to this tour. I would suggest people new to Niagara should do this tour as soon as they arrive (1030 or 1400) and meet Tony first!Written August 22, 2024

My family's experience on this tour was magnificent. Our tour guide -Tony Hagan was the all time best as I ve been on tours beforehand. The detail of Niagara historical past was well presented by our tour guide - Tony Hagan. His attentiveness to my elderly parents was paramount at all the attractions. His sense of humor created a fun tour. I would highly recommend that you requested Tony Hagan for a very impressional experience. Well worth the money.

Magnificent Tours was fantastic and we totally recommend doing their three hour tour. The cost was a great value and we were so thankful to not have to navigate by ourselves to each location, park and get tickets. My husband, mother and I visited Niagara Falls from Virginia for the weekend and wanted to see the Falls up close. We were staying on the Canadian side in the Niagara Falls Marriott on the Falls and initially were undecided about wanting to view the falls from the American vs Canadian side. After viewing the long backup at customs we were more inclined to stay in Canada. We are so happy we did. This tour was offered at 9:30 or 2:30. We did the morning tour, which was less crowded than the afternoon as it turned out. Tony Hagan picked us up in the lobby of our hotel. We were on a full size luxury coach with bottled water provided. After a two of brief stops at other hotels to get the other guests we were off on the tour. Tony was super personable and knowledgeable about the area and has been giving tours for 23 years. He got us to the front of the lines and gave us valuable tips to make the most of our experience. At each stop we were on our own to explore and we would meet back at the bus to go to the next spot. We felt like the tour saved us lots of time with parking and walking further from those lots. It was a manageable tour for my 80 year old mom, few stairs and not too much walking at any one time. We saw from a distance the people at the experience on the American side from our Hornblower boat and they had so many more stairs and those people were completely drenched. At the falls (Behind the Falls) on our tour we got misted a little and on the boat (Hornblower) we did get wet, but not soaked (shoes wet for sure, but I wore flip flops and was completely happy about it as the walking didn’t require sneakers in my opinion). Don’t hesitate to book this tour, you’ll be glad you did!

John, our Tour Director and Bus Driver was exceptional. He was very professional and knowledgeable about all points of interest along the tour route. He made the bud tour very enjoyable and informative. My girlfriend and I would recommend to anyone interest in taking a tour that they signup with John as their Tour Director and Bus Driver.

I felt like a kid again. The tour was both extremely fun and at the sane time relaxing. John [our tour guide] is a Niagra Falls native. His knowledge of the region's history rivals that of a historian or a college professor. And he knows all the spots, it's like having a friend living at Niagara Falls year-round. He has a comedian's wit and he put everyone at ease right away. You can tell he loves what he does and he really made things fun. We arrived unknowingly on a Canadian long weekend. We saved hours upon hours of standing in line by booking this tour, not to mention the expense of taxis or parking issues had we rented a vehicle. Just keep your orange sticker and stay with the group. John takes care of everything else. No need to worry about lines, parking, traffic. Trust me, TAKE THIS TOUR!

We had the best time on this tour! Tony was so knowledgeable , and full of helpful hints, our only regret is we didn't do this at the beginning of our trip, because all the info Tony gave us would of came in handy! From best priced restaurants, best priced gift shops, how to get to the front of the boat the fastest, old stories of the falls don't think anyone can beat his expertise.

This tour was fantastic. Plenty of opportunity to take fabulous photographs and enjoy some amazing views.
Our tour guide, Tony Hagan, did a marvelous job of keeping the tour group together and making sure we had chances to see the beauty that is Niagara Falls, Ontario, Canada. He was very knowledgeable about the area and it's history. The way he managed a bus load of tourists made me think he may have practiced herding chickens or cats!
I would highly recommend this 3-hour tour.

Exactly what we were looking for since we only had 1 day available for sightseeing. John Mak was very good, funny, provided a lot of information and made us feel very comfortable/not rushed. I would highly recommend this 3 hour tour!

This tour was wonderful! Our guide Tony was very knowledgeable, kind and funny. We happened to book the tour with a large group and Tony made sure the people NOT with the large group were always first on/off the bus, the first to receive tickets to the attractions, etc. Tony also gave us hot tips about local eateries that really enhanced our trip. All 3 of the tour included were well worth the money spent on the tour ticket.

Best tour guide experience ever!! This was my first time ever seeing the falls and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. This tour covers all the bases and allows you to be interactive with the falls and leave feeling satisfied. John was our tour guide who was hilarious and made sure every person was taken care of on the guide. He also went above and beyond in sharing his takes on different places to go for food, shopping and everything else the falls has to offer. John told us he was born and raised in Niagara so I would take it from him on how to best spend your time in the falls! Cheryl who works concierge sold us the tickets for the guide and made sure we got the best of our time and money while catering to our wants and needs. If you are planing to go to the falls go with magnificent tour guides!!

The views of the falls on this tour were indeed Magnificent! We felt like we saw the falls from every possible angle. The Journey Behind the Falls observation deck was particularly interesting.
Our guide and driver, Johnny Mak, was knowledgeable, engaging, and funny! He handled a large group of adults and pretty young children really well. We really enjoyed hearing about the attempts to go over the falls, and about the river control setup. Johnny also had recommendations for what other attractions to go to in the area, which was super helpful! He also told us about the divine nectar that is Canadian ice wine (try it!!!).
The other big benefit to the tour, beyond being guided, was that we got to skip all the lines at the Journey Behind the Falls, which likely saved us 2-3 hours of waiting.
Wear shoes that have good grip - a lot of surfaces near the falls are very wet and very slippery. One of our party gets seasick, so they put on some dramamine patches for the boat portion of the tour and that worked a treat.

Yes, I believe that they do, but best to check directly with the tour company before booking! Enjoy!

If you are staying in a hotel other than the pick-up sites, how do you suggest joining the tour?
Written August 8, 2019
If I remember correctly, they have at least 2 pick up locations. I stayed at the Sheraton on the Falls so obviously that location worked well for me.
