    I had a really good time on this tour. John was very knowledgeable and the stops of the tour were interesting and different to what I would have done if I had organised it all myself. Would recommend!

    Our tour of Niagara was amazing! Experiencing Niagara in the snow was a beautiful difference. Our tour guide Marc did a phenomenal job taking us around, educating us on the history and just making the overall experience a great one. We did all that the weather allowed us to do and it was still great. We experienced a snowy mist instead of the traditional one, however it was still enjoyable. The beautiful white sights were super amazing to see. Once again Marc was a delight and made our experience the best it could be.

    Nancy was a friendly and great tour guide!! It was a snowy winter day but we could see the falls at all attractions! Dawn was a great office manager and help coordinate our round trip airport transportation, recommendations for dining for Valentine’s Day and our Wedding Anniversary! We had a phenomenal visit as well as the wineries and visit to Niagara on the Lake. The American and Canadian day tour was so great! The bus gets premium parking.

    A charming European-style city with cobblestone streets and French influence. The tour provides excellent historical context, and the cruise ride was truly enjoyable.

    I had a wonderful day with Jamie as my guide. I learned so much about the area, got the chance to see some wildlife and amazing views, and enjoyed the pace of the trip. Specifically, I enjoyed getting off the bus for a short hike at the canyon and the boat ride on Maligne Lake among other stops. Thank you for a great day! My thoughts are still with everyone in Jasper as I am deeply saddened to hear about the devastation with the wildfires. The park is truly a gem.

    Had best time on this tour. Early pickup from hotel lobby meant early arrival in Niagara Falls. Fancy but smaller tourist van meant we were comfortable, could actually interact with the guide and other guests. We basically had 'skip the line' access to Behind the Falls, the Skylon Tower and Boat Ride - - amazing. It was a beautiful day, so all our pictures are gorgeous. Behind The Falls was such a special treat and angle to view the falls. The Skylon Tower had spectacular views of the entire falls area. And the Boat Ride was unexpectedly 'up close' and 'wet'. I knew we would get misted on - but it was super watery and hard to keep eyes open as we rode into the circle of the falls. It was everything. This was our first visit to Niagara Falls and this tour really hit every highlight. We also had some free time to walk around/catch lunch. Our tour guide, Ryan, was super knowledgeable and provided great tips to ensure we experienced everything we wanted to during our visit. Highly recommend this tour - and Trip Shepherd in general. We also took other smaller tours with them in Toronto - and they were terrific. Merci from Maryland, USA

    This was a nice way to see Halifax and get the history of the city. The guide was informative and amusing. It’s not a long tour so doesn’t take up your whole day.

    Wonderful! We had the best tour guide and captain. The scenery was beautiful. It was our first visit to Vancouver and we got a great sense of the city. I highly recommend this tour.

    We arrived at the port only to find that the departure time had changed and we missed the cruise. They were going to refund our tickets when suddenly the boat appeared to pick up a crew member. We told him how we had missed the previous cruise. He said, come on board, we will take you on the next cruise. He adjusted our ticket, we relaxed and had a wonderful cruise. All was good. We thank the crew of Paul's Boat Line so saving the day. We would recommend this cruise to anyone interested in seeing Ottawa from an informative and river perspective.

    I thought maybe I spent too much on the tickets, but this was totally worth every penny! I don't remember our tour guides name, but she was very informative and very personable.

    Had a great tour! The hotel concierge recommended Grayline and I spent hours looking at options and then ultimately settled back with them. I wanted to see Niagara on the Lake and I’m glad we did! It’s very cute and I would have liked more time there.
    We weren’t supposed to do the maple tasting with this tour, but we had time, so we did. It was fine-very commercialized and like a fancy truck stop. I wouldn’t choose it on my own. We also did the wine tasting and it was a lovely spot, but I didn’t like any of their wines.
    A few tips—give yourself extra time to get to the morning meeting spot. And do NOT rely on the free poncho for the boat ride unless you want to get soaked. I brought better disposable raincoats and boot covers I found on Amazon. There is no mist—it is a full shower experience. We still had soaked sleeves, gloves, knees and anything else that was exposed. As it was November and cold outside, we didn’t dry fast and being wet all day is rough.
    I did the optional lunch mainly to make sure my daughter was fed and didn’t get hangry. It was pretty decent, but nothing exciting. Nice views and I’m glad we did it because it appears to just be a bunch of junk shops and fast food in the area.
    Overall it was a great trip and I think a tour is the way to go!
