Premium Canadian-side Niagara Falls tour with Hornblower boat ride, Journey Behind the Falls tunnels, and Skylon Tower views. Small group.
“Fantastic experience! We lucked out with the weather—‘Behind the Falls’ was a great warm-up to the boat tour, which delivered awe and spray in equal measure. Skylon offered stunning panoramic views, and thanks to clear skies, we even spotted the CN Tower. Carlos, our guide, was friendly, punctual, and safe, adding a few bonus stops. While views of the Old Scow and Dufferin Islands were brief, his cheerful guidance made up for it. Mid-week in mid-Sept meant minimal crowds, and with everything walkable (if you're fit), you could DIY for £50–£60. Still, having someone like Carlos to steer you with a smile was a plus. Best part? Meeting Larry and…”

“Our guide Louis was a delight (we share the same name). Very knowledgeable and very funny. The food was great and typical of Montreal treats. My favorite was the first stop at Lester's Deli for their "smoked meat". Essentially our corned beef, but I learned that the process of cooking it is different, so its more tender. Wonderfully flavorful. And the Greek pastry was delicious on our next stop. It was very enjoyable to walk the neighborhoods, despite the cold temperature. I highly recommend this trip, hopefully you'll get Louis.”
