About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Paradise7274870 contributionsLearning the history of Niagara Falls.Mark was a great guy and went out of his way to accommodate our trip. Turned out the American side for the boats were already done for the season so he got our boat trip on the Canadian side. 5 star service.Written November 11, 2024
- Frogbrain226950 contributionsGreat experience and valueWe had a great time on this tour. We normally do our own thing when we travel, but going with TripShepherd made everything so much simpler and easier! They picked us up at our hotel and we saw all the big attractions on the American side. The guide didn't rush us, we had plenty of time to see and enjoy everything. And it was reasonably priced, it was only a little more expensive than paying admission and parking for each attraction.Written November 3, 2024
- marycatherenes0 contributionsExcellent experience!We would give this tour a 5 star rating! Niagra Falls tour was a blast! Our host/guide Saieed could have not been any better. He was very knowledgeable, punctual, funny, very informative, and personable. He gave very clear instructions of what to expect on each leg of the tour. He was never rushing the group. The tour was absolutely amazing and such an excellent experience!❤️Written October 28, 2024
- Passport676804945880 contributionsTrip advisor is the worst although guide Jimmy is greatTrip advisor while booking mentioned that there will be hotel pickup. They haven’t provided hotel pickup plus customer care was rude. They were getting irritated when I couldn’t find my guide. But Jimmy, the guide was great. He helped me outWritten October 26, 2024
- SaraKR0 contributionsWonderful small group tourThis tour was exceptionally well run! Our guide Saied had prompt pick up times, provided clear instructions and advice for each stop, and a nice sense of humor. The amount of flexibility at each stop was just enough to keep on track for the day but allowed each person to decide their priorities for what to see or do. Loved the small group format - max of 7 guests per trip. We had a total of 6 and the van was quite comfortable.Written October 18, 2024
- Fearless518257489440 contributionsGreat tour! Confusing signup processOur guide Saied was excellent. Gracious, knowledgeable and very clear on what to expect, where to meet up, etc. The tour itself was very fun and interesting, well worth the money, and stress free. The only fault was not on our guide or the tour’s part, but on the lack of clarity when signing up for the tour. While the information says something like: “If you are not staying at a local hotel, contact us so that we can arrange a pickup location .”, there is actually no phone number, email or other means provided for doing so. There are some local hotels and an untitled address provided, but that does not work to secure a pickup time. Very stressful when spending a few hundred bucks and not knowing where to meet the tour. Turns out that once the signup process is done, the tour guide reaches out by text to arrange things, which is great. But THAT info would be way more helpful and less stressful that the info currently provided.Written October 18, 2024
- hollyf8530 contributionsGreat tour with guide SaiedA great experience. Our tour guide Saied was very knowledgeable and informative. It was so nice not having to drive, getting dropped off at the location and not paying for parking.Written October 13, 2024
- coleend7410 contributionsThe FallsAll the views f the Falls were AMAZING! Our favorite was Cave of the Mist, the experience was awesome walking behind the Falls something that should not be missed! Our tour guide was informative and friendlyWritten October 12, 2024
- Wander545410166310 contributionsThis was an awesome tour!I loved this small tour group. It feels more personal and you get answers to all of your questions. The Maid of the Mist was great but the Cave of the Winds was even better. You are right next to the falls. Up close and personal. Mark was a great tour guide and I would highly recommend this tour to everyone.Written October 12, 2024
- Kurt K0 contributionsA great way to see the Falls and State Park - no worries about driving, parking, or getting tickets.This was an outstanding way to visit Niagara Falls and Niagara State Park. It was easy to take The Maid of the Mist and tour Cave of the Winds with helpful assistance from our guide. So nice to be picked up and dropped off at our hotel. Our guide was enthusiastic, friendly, and helpful - even drove us around town to show us how to find places we wanted to visit.Written October 8, 2024
- Wanderer617017514820 contributionsAnniversary weekendThe trip was absolutely amazing. Our guide Saieed was fantastic. He’s very knowledgeable about the area and very personable. The food & service(Dennis was our server) at Steak Stone & Sushi was fantastic!Written October 7, 2024
- rachelkZ7802OS0 contributionsJimmy CoyoteAwesome experience! Our tour was through Tripshepherd. And our guide "Jimmy Coyote" was on point! He knew just where to go and how to get there. Little to no lines because of his expertise. He explained our day from the get-go and we were ready to roll. We will do it again and highly recommend Jimmy Coyote. He was the brains of our operation.Written October 6, 2024
- wendycF791WC0 contributionsSaied was the bestThe views were amazing. Saied was our tour guid and was great. Informative but also very funny. We had such an amazing timeWritten September 26, 2024
- OnAir262945505190 contributionsFabulous Tour of Niagara FallsSaied was a great tour guide. He throughly explained the sights we were going to see. He was very patient and answered all our questions clearly and calmly. He has a great friendly and warm personality. The tour sights were fantastic. Experiencing the power of the falls on Maid of the Mist, the Cave of the Winds, Goat Island and the other sights was well worth it. We were given time to explore and to individualize our experiences. It was a small tour. Just the four of us in our group. We were picked up at the hotel and returned there. A great day to remember our trip to Niagara Falls.Written September 25, 2024
- 1IslandMom0 contributionsGreat small group tourGreat tour and guide ! Informative and friendly. Great to have a very small group so timing was flexible. We could stay longer if we wanted at a venue, or move on to the next location. Best way to go !Written September 24, 2024

Darrell was great! I didn't know what to expect when I booked this tour, but we were paired with two couples (6 tourists total) in a nicely appointed Mercedes van and our guide, Darrell, talked us through Niagara and to our various stops. Although he did not accompany us during the attractions, I appreciated the advanced ticket purchasing and ease in skipping most lines.
Would recommend everything but the restaurant at the end. Most of us were not pleased with the selection or quality of food.
Still, 5 stars for the tour itself. The helicopter was priceless....quick (10 mins) but priceless!

Our guide Said was as excited about our trip as we were and the arraignments the tour company has with the various attractions saved us a lot of time getting in to see them. Our helicopter ride was cancelled per weather but the rest of the tour was well organized and we were afforded plenty of time to enjoy each stop. Would recommend.

This was our first trip to Niagara Falls
and it rained the whole day during our excursions. Bummer, right?? Absolutely not! Saied made it an adventure and we had an absolute blast. He always went the extra mile to pick us up right at the door and even had the heat on to help us dry off (we went in July). He provided us with tips to get around the city and beyond. He is a great asset to his company and a pure joy to have as a chaffer. Best tour guide we’ve ever had!

This was a really nice tour. Our tour guide gave us personal service, taking us to each stop, getting our tickets and picking us up afterwards. Drove around to see some of the sites and told us history of Niagara Falls.
In hindsight, when I booked this tour, we were taking the Amtrak train and staying at a bed-and-breakfast. The train canceled so we had to get a rental car. We could’ve done this much cheaper by visiting the three sites and buying our own tickets, and probably would’ve been able to sit in the front seats of the helicopter, not the back .

The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. We were able to skip all of the lines and see everything we wanted to see in 6 hours, in what would have been 2 days because of the crowds. My four teenage sons had a great time as well! Thank you for an amazing day in a beautiful place!!

On a recent anniversary trip, we took the Niagara Falls small group tour with Maid of the Mist and helicopter ride tour. Our guide, Ahman, was incredibly professional and thoughtful as he led us through an amazing day experiencing all aspects surrounding the wonder of the falls. For part of our tour we were with a family who were such a joy to move from one location to another. Ahman’s passion and knowledge was obvious as he explained and answered questions all morning long. The beautiful weather held so he was able to navigate the schedule and we were able to do every item on the list! We highly recommend Tripshepherd and Ahman for a wonderful tour experience!

You can read all Wiki articles about Niagara Falls or even watch a movie on National Geographic, but nothing can be compared with a real life experience of the falls! Best of Niagara Falls USA Tour with Helicopter Ride from See Sight Tours gives you an ultimate opportunity to observe all the major Niagara Falls US points. We started from the helicopter ride – it is short, but very exciting: the view from an air is incredible! Then there was the US oldest and one of the greatest attractions – Maid of the Mist – a boat tour to the main fall. The last but definitely not the least attraction is Cave of the Winds – the place when you can touch the waterfall by your hand or even take a waterfall “shower” (here is a recommendation to take shower shoes of flip flops, because waterproof boots do not work). The tour started early morning at 08:00 AM and lasted until 01:30 PM, which is the best time to visit Niagara Falls, because afternoon and especially by evening all observation points are overcrowded. The tour is well organized, our driver Saied provided us with all needed info and was constantly in tough by phone. So, our small group of 6 people (it is not an individual tour) never lost and we were in time for each attraction. We liked friendly atmosphere of the tour, as Saied said: ‘People come to us to be happy, let’s make them even happier’ and we can confirm that the tour exceeded our expectations.

Experience was great!! Saw a lot of wonderful sites. Our tour guide Amy was hilarious and knew a lot of information. Be advised that the helicopter is only running on the weekends at the moment so we were unable to have that experience if you want to do it book accordingly.

This was an incredible adventure. Our guide Saeed was extremely knowledgeable and made you feel comfortable right away. The weather wouldn't permit the helicopter ride but we will be back another time to do it.

Helicopter ride was Awesome!! It was all worth it... Our guide Dalton was nice and he told us exactly what to do. He was taking all the trouble of standing in line under hot sun instead of us. He was real nice. We got nice lunch break of 1 and half hour.

hi
I am a resident from London united kingdom and I am touring round USA
so I coming up to Niagara falls area and I was hoping to get a helicopter flight on the Tuesday 26 July ,
i understand that you use a helicopter company called rainbow inc
but as i understand it they don't operate flights on Tuesday
rainbow inc website says flights are closed Tuesday /Wednesday
can you confirm is that the case ?
kind regards
marc hinton
Written June 8, 2022
Would it be only my wife and I on board? What is the duration of the flight? Do you still access the Maid and the Cave if taking this tour? What is the lunch menu and what to do about a restroom while in flight ?
