Tour concludes with drop-off at your area accommodation. Please note: The Maid of the Mist portion of this tour departs from the U.S. side of Niagara Falls.

- Rebecca C00Over The Falls NiagaraWe did a private tour through Over the Falls Tour. Our tour guide Party Marty was awesome. He shared his knowledge and passion for the area. We had the best time on Maid of the Most and Hurricane Caves. He gave us so many tips. We enjoyed seeing other parks and great towns nearby. Our kids, age 11 and 9 had a great time. It was a great day. Highly recommend the private tour and request Marty.
- J8257KXmichaell00OutstandingMr. Dale is an outstanding person. He is very kind and friendly with respect. He answers all your needs. I highly recommend other people to choose him for tour.
- Judiwolf00Legendary LennyLegendary Lenny, was exceptional, hilarious, and extremely informative. Had an absolutely fun time. Would highly recommend.
- 484aba00Fun times 😎Had lots’o fun! We were with Team Nick (our tour guide). Most energetic n’ fun tour guide I’ve ever had. The views were stunning and I had a great time!
- Linda D00First trip to NiagaraBrian with “Over the falls tours” was the best, most knowledgeable, patient, and punctual tour guide. He was friendly and out going and made our first trip to Niagara a trip we’ll never forget!
- Alexandra W00Awesome and Amazing DayParty Marty was a fantastic tour guide! He showed us things/places we didn’t even know existed. He also had lots of local knowledge that he shared, along with a lot of funny witticisms. We highly recommend this tour - it was awesome, every bit of it, but especially Cave of the Winds and the Maid of the Mist boat ride. And hope that you get Marty as your tour guide.
- Lisa L00Anniversary Trip to Niagara FallsJessica was a great tour guide! Made sure we were on time for all our tours. Very knowledgeable about local history. We would definitely book with Team Jessica again!
- seojinp47300Team JessicaOur family loved the tour. We were team Jessica!😊I thin the price was quite high, but we really enjoyed it.
- 755dessyg00Incredible tour of Niagara Falls with guide MartyOur guide MARTY was simply amazing! He has lived in the area all of his life and is super knowledgeable, fun to listen to, and courteous. The tour was incredibly informational without being overpowering in any way. Marty took us to incredible sights for pictures and offered to take pics of our family on numerous occasions. He handed over a list of local eateries which I was really thankful for as I seek that information on trips anyway! I totally enjoyed Niagara Falls and felt that because of Marty, we maximized our time, learned so much, saw incredible local places and had an incredibly fun time! Thank you for the unforgettable experience, Marty!🤗
- anthonylmoreno197400AwesomeTour guide Dayna was awesome she knows the ins and outs, loved the lady of the mist ride. sheep island is a peaceful place to visit
- Julianne M00See it all in 5 hours with a personal guide.Jessica, our tour guide was great. She helped to accommodate my limited mobility mother. Mom didn't miss out on a thing! I had called the week before our tour to see if they thought Mom would be able to manage (steps and distance walking are a challenge). They said they would bring a wheel chair so she would have a choice. She only used the chair on the Maid of the Mist tour. That had a lot of walking to get down to the boat. There were supposed to be 16 people on our tour, but when the four adults from the UK didn't have what they needed to cross into the US for the boat ride, they walked back. That made us late to pick up riders in the US. The tour company moved them to another tour bus. So the 5 of us (our party of 3 and a couple from East Tennessee) practically had a private tour. Jessica had lots of stories to tell. We enjoyed lunch at The Maple Place. The skylon Tower was the second only to the Maid of the Mist.
- Corafcam00Amazingly beautiful!I enjoyed all of it. The views on both Amarican and Canadian sides are amazingly beautiful. I would surely come back to see Niagara Falls again.
- K4279VXjasonw00Excellent experienceExcellent trip. Tons of photos and videos. Team Jessica was great. She was so fun and created an amazing experience.
- Marc L00Wonder-Fall!The access to pickup was wonderful. The guide/driver was great. Driver helped to save money by taking us to a local bakery for lunch. Bus A/C was broken and the company switched us out for another bus at lunch. During the vehicle xfer a parked car was struck that caused a 1-hour delay in our tour. But after all of that, the A/C on the new bus was broken too. At cave of the winds the line was long, driver said “30-minute wait” Which turned out to be 2 hours. The wait was worth it bc the experience is once in a lifetime quality. Still recommend despite the glitches.
- Explorer2181588773100Rest and relaxationThe views were awesome. Great experience. We will be back with a larger group. Our tour guide was exceptional. He was very knowledgeable regarding the history of the area.

We had a limited time at Niagara Falls so wanted to make the most of it. We are generally not tour people but thought this option would maximize our time. We were certainly correct. We saw so much and learned much more than if we were on our own. Sure, we would have liked to have spent a bit more time at some of the sites visited but that was the trade off we gladly made. It was Memorial Day Weekend so exceptionally crowded which further enhanced the value of the tour company.
Our guide was Randy with a Y (joke of his). He was excellent. Provided a number of helpful hints. We were circling a few of his co-workers on other tours and it was apparent they were not getting the same good guidance we were. Ask for Randy!

ARRIVECAN wants to know how you will be entering Canda- land, sea, or plan. Then it asks for a port of entry. I have called the number on this page for information. None is provided. How can I complete the ArriveCan information if I have all of these gaps because the information is not provided on the page?
Is there anyone from this company that can answer these questions? ArriveCan has to be done within 72 hours of the visit. Please advise.

Hi! I just did this tour. Just FYI you have to do ArriveCAN the day of the tour it has to have that days date on it. They didn’t tell us that until they picked us up so I had to redo it. You will be entering via land and the port of entry is the rainbow bridge. If you are entering Canada on your own on a different day before or after the tour you will need to do ArriveCAN for that entry as well. It does save your info so it’s pretty easy.
Se requiere prueba de covid-19 en este tour para estar solamente en el lado estadounidense?

Hi
There is no mention if we can bring food?, or there are places where the tour stop to eat or grab something to eat?
Nancy P
San Jose, CA14 contributions
Yes and yes! You can bring food on the tour. The bus driver took us to the Canadian side before stopping at a combination lunch and souvenir shop for lunch. The spot had limited choices: hamburger, hot dog, or chicken nuggets; French fries, poutine also offered. That was all on the menu. Oh, also bottled or canned drinks. I think beer was offered. Nothing fancy, that's for sure. Strictly an hour to eat and shop if you want.
Is there anyway of going to Canada without a passport? Can you bring any other form of ID to get across the border ? Since you can’t get a passport for several weeks-months so I am told. Please keep the negative comments to yourself not use to traveling and looking for information.
Nancy P
San Jose, CA14 contributions
I believe not! If you can get into Canada, you probably can't go back into U.S.A. without American passport! Very strict--must go through office both ways: get off the bus, line up, examined with passport in from of an official going and returning.
