    • Walk through the dimly-lit tunnels of ‘Journey Behind the Falls’ with pre-reserved access for a close-up view of the Falls from rock wall openings.

    We loved our guide Alisha. She had a great upbeat personality that made the tour more exciting. She gave a lot of good information regarding history and places to go or places to eat. We loved that the tour due to it hitting all the spots that we were interested in seeing. It would be a nice option for people that want to stay at the locations longer to pick an extended time tour. We liked the time frame we were at for each location but if we had an elderly person with us, I could see them wanting more time at each location or needing more time to get to the next location. We loved and will recommend to family and friends in the future.

    I really love our tour guide Marc. He made the experience fun at all times. I love the walk after the boat. Well worth the money, it was also worth the early boat!
