This was one of the best parts of our trip. You ride in a double decker bus that is actually from…read morethe UK. They were offering the 48 hr hop on hop off tour so that is what we did. We chose to ride the full route without getting off so we could see everything and could decide later if we wanted to come back to a stop. The bus was pretty empty and for quicker attractions like the floral clock and whirlpool the driver got off with us so we could snap a few closer pictures. These were the sort that were nice to take pics, but you wouldn't want to stop for a full hour stop for like you would for the boat ride or other stops offered. Even though my parents had been to Canada before they agreed that they saw more than going on their own since you don't need to navigate or google good tourist spots. The full route took about an hour and a half. They provided history of the area, gave pointers on what was around, and kept us entertained. If you choose to get off at a stop they come back to pick you up about an hour later. The driver said he also does wine tours on the weekends.

I'd like to give this a five star review. I just can't. So let me tell you the very fine things…read morethis company did and why I'd use them again. The reservation for this tour was easy and Sheila, at Double Deck Tours, was honest when she told me I would have no difficulty getting tickets for myself and my husband when we checked into the DoubleTree by Hilton in Niagara Falls, Canada. At the DoubleTree we spoke with their representative, Jesus, who explained the tour, where we would visit the next day, and we bought the tour. The bus showed up on time. We were the first stop for the bus and we garnered seats on the top in the front row. As the bus wasn't at full capacity, we were able to each have a separate seat. We visited behind Horseshoe Falls and tunnels after a short trip past the dam. Nadine gave us a lot of information about both the hydroelectric plant and the area in general with some amazing stats on how much water flows over the falls each minute...Oh My!!! Next we viewed a river whirlpool by crossing over on the Whirlpool Aerocar. What a treat for me as I've white water rafted and looking at those class 6 (maybe 7 if there was such a thing) scared me. I was glad I was way up high and if you look at my pictures you might feel the same!!! We visited the Flower Clock next after driving past the Niagara Parks Conservatory. Wish we'd had time to visit the Butterfly Conservatory. After a driving tour to see other sights pointed out we landed at the Hornblower Boat Tours. So glad to skip the lines and move to the front. It was a hot day and we were sweating as it was. The ride on the Hornblower was FAB! Used to be "Maid in the Mist", but they lost the bid to the Canadian concession "Hornblower." Now as to why I gave this group only three stars as I did have a stellar day. When I called Sheila at Double Deck, before I arrived, I was told I might like to book at the hotel as the walk back to the DoubleTree by Hilton was a six block walk up a steep hill and Niagara was experiencing a heat advisory. It was twenty extra US dollars per person, but well worth it considering a long day with lots of sight seeing, so being taken back to my hotel was a plus. However, more than three times during the day Nadine, our tour guide, expressed how many people liked to just stay at Victoria Park after the tour and not be returned to the DoubleTree. Saying it once was fabulous. Given the option was a wonderful thing. But for me the repeated statement gave me the opinion that they really didn't want to make the ten minute drive back to the DoubleTree. As it was, three couples returned. Niagara Falls was under a heat advisory! To top off the bad taste of these comments, we were told to return to the Welcome Center by 3pm to meet the bus. We got off the Hornblower at 2:50 pm. I felt very rushed as we fought our way through the crowds to get back as fast as we could, finally arriving at 3:05 pm. The bus wasn't even there. We waited for it to arrive. At least there was a place to sit in shade. Would I use this tour group again? Yes. Would I share with Nadine what her words suggested to me? I guess I am by this review. I would tell her how much of a turn off it was to think I would be left behind to take a difficult walk during a heat advisory which would be stressful to me.

I was…read moretaking a friend who had never been there and we stopped at the rest stop on I-90 and talked to a man at the information center. He asked if we had a hotel which we did and he started telling us about the guided tour. We decided to sign up for $129. Per person which included Cave of the winds, Maid of the Mist / Goat Island and Whirlpool State Park. Our guide was Larry a knowledgeable guy with a fantastic voice (He could be a sportscaster or do voice overs on a Commercial!) he drove about a dozen of us on a little bus to all the locations and telling us all kinds of interesting facts and threw in some jokes along the way! My friend and I had a great time and made some friends along the way. I highly recommend the tour! When you think of the driving, paying for parking and paying for each experience, it was well worth it. So glad I got to be a part of Larry's Legends!!!

For CAD $48 (~$35 USD) you can sail to the heart of the Niagara Falls! Everyone is provided their signature red poncho to protect your belongings. You can enjoy the view from the indoor cabin or get the full watery experience outside by the side rails or top deck. I chose the bow rails and got absolutely soaked! The views of the falls from up close were truly stunning and unforgettable! This is a must do when visiting the Niagara Falls! Don't miss out!

The falls are amazing but when you ride right up to the falls and you can see them from water level there's just no describing how awesome and powerful nature is! The lines actually moved really quick especially for the amount of tourist that were there. The boat ride is around 20 minutes. The view of the falls from the American side is really good as well when you're riding by. If you're on the American side you can do the Maid of the Mist boat ride, they both take you to the same spot. American boat rides were blue ponchos while the Canadian side wears red. Great for an individual, couple or the whole family! Was not disappointed at all.

He was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the entire tour enjoyable from start to finish. You can tell he genuinely enjoys what he does, and he shared interesting facts and local history without ever making it feel like a lecture.

His recommendations and tips also helped us make the most of our visit. If you're planning a trip to Niagara Falls, I highly recommend Scenic Tours of Niagara--and if you get Ron as your guide, you're in great hands. Thanks again for making our day so memorable!

We were on this tour today with this company only to be told to go F*K ourselves by the tour guide…read morewhos name is Erez. Yes, the tour guide told me, a 7 month pregnant lady, to go f*k myself, screaming it at me, on the street (side walk) i front of public crowds!) STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY. Erez was late by HALF AN HOUR to pick us up in the morning. But he was specific to mention to us how much he needs everyone to be on time. First off, erez seems like a nice guy who's on edge. Like a military type of person except angry, frustrated or jusy plain unstable. He'll be VERY adamant about how much time you can spend at each spot, giving you 10 minutes at the whirl pool view, so many minutes for lunch (we had to inhale our food, not even finishing my soup because we had to run out to the bus to follow this guys schedule). He specifically said to us to "wear blinders while in the gift shop and not look at anything at all and get back to the bus, it is NOT the time to shop", wow....ok.....he'd give us a time to be back at and emphasize to be there 5 minutes before that time. Okayyyyyy. Whatever guy, we're easygoing, we'll go along with your system. We follow this guys very nervous demands, because whatever, even though his timing is overly tight and unrealistic. it is what it is. On the last stop, he said to come right back from the hornblower boat tour straight to the bus. He didn't give us a time to be bk, just said to come straight to the bus. Okay got it. After the boat tour, i, a 6 and a half month pregnant woman, had to use the bathroom. There was a line unfortunately which made us 15 minutes "late" to the bus also, the walk back to the bus is an uphill walk, which is hard for me at the moment. I can't exactly, run. When we boarded the bus he began yelling and scolding us infront of everyone. It was humiliating! We didn't say anything and let it go, we arent loud people. When we let out, he was expecting tips, so i told him, we usually tip but it doesn't feel right because he scolded us while all we did was go to the bathroom, then he looked at me right in my face and yelled "i wasnt expecting a tip from you people anyway", what does that even mean? Because we are hispanic??? We are working professionals, engineers for aviation, and I'm a fashion stylist.... we tip. He kept yelling we were 15 min late, at me.....this guy is NUTS. 15 lates from what time? He never gave us a time. My brother then saw him yelling at me and then spoke up "you were late this morning!" He then said to my bro and me "GET THE FFFFUCK OUT OF MY FACE!" About 5 to 7 times! I couldn't believe it. I called him a piece of shit as i walked away. This tour company has ruined a lovely vacation, as we will take this ugly memory with us unfortunately. Not sure what their hiring process is, but they obviously hire mentally insane, emotionally unstable, personnel. Unless you want to be rushed at every stop, and scolded, STAY AWAY!

I've been on quite a few wine tours over the years, and it does take a certain personality to be able to do it well - but Rich was able to entertain AND be personable. He was professional AND endearing. He was always engaged in what we thought of each stop, and his relationship with the people at the breweries/distilleries/wineries seemed genuine. And whether it was him or just the smaller size, It honestly felt like we were treated better, being a part of Rich's group, then being in a group of 50 coming off a tour bus.   The stops were all great. I had some reservations about a few, but was honestly able to find something I loved at each location. Not to mention, the price is extremely competitive with all of the other tours I was researching. The van we were in was even fancy and brand new. If you're looking for something just a little different than your standard wine tour, I cannot recommend them enough.

I cannot say enough great things about Discovery Tours and our guide for the day, Tim…read more We stopped in the area for the day on our way to Toronto and decided to do the Undiscovered Winery Tour...we couldn't be more happy with our decision. Our guide Tim picked us up at the Fallsview Casino, which was convenient for us, before we picked up one more group of 2. The small group of us (4 plus Tim) was just the right size. Tim was very knowedgeable both about wine and the Niagra region. He took the time to get to know each of us and what tastes were like in wine. We stopped at 4 wineries (all were equally delicious, although I'd have to say my favorite was the red Ice Wine from Vineland) and each time Tim brought us inside, introduced us to the staff, and helped offer suggestions based on what he had learned about us. We also learned the proper way to taste at our very first stop. This was a welcome change from other tours we have done in the past where the tour bus simply stops in the parking lot while you go inside, sample, then come out when you are ready to leave. This was much more personable and made for an excellent tour experience. In addition to the 4 wineries we stopped at the Upper Canada Cheese company to sample their fine cheeses, as well as stopped mid-day in Jordan Village for lunch. The tour was well structured and you had plenty of time to shop after each tasting as well if you wanted to (although none of the wineries/staff were pushy in any way whatsoever.) Overall it was a great day, great experience, and I would certainly consider other future tours with Discovery.

Long lines everywhere, even before you get down there. Crowded elevators. Staff doesn't care if you're packed in like sardines. Also minus one star for forcing everyone to take a picture, printing them out, and just throwing them away unless you pay them money. At that point at least give out the examples. Ultimately, I think if you do one of the boat tours, you get a closer view of the falls, and this attraction isn't really needed.
