This is life long pending completion, two years ago, I went but got to late, so couldn't make it to the tours. I am 55 years old, and all my life since I was a little kid I wanted to take this tour, and it was excellent.

The tour was amazing!! Not just the boat ride, but the learning experience of the falls and it's history. Our tour guide Jacob was also absolutely entertaining! He was very knowledgeable and lots of fun!

Loved the boat ride. Seeing the falls from the deck was awesome. When I bought my tickets I thought they were direct to the venue tickets and included the Winds tour as a combo. Then I get a third party email with instructions to meet off venue and I only get the boat ride. Paid double the price and the guide did not make up for that
