Niagara-on-the-Lake at the end was the surprise highlight — we never would have found those wineries on our own. Booked the private version for our parents next month.

Great tour, well-paced. The cruise was busy (it always is) but the skip-the-line ticket made all the difference. One star off only because the van air-con struggled on a 30°C day.

Booked the night before and they accommodated us with a same-day pickup. The Journey Behind the Falls was the moment of the trip. Bring a waterproof phone case!

Third time on a See Sight tour. Same standard every visit — punctual, friendly, knowledgeable. The Whirlpool Aero Car is the best 10 minutes of any Niagara day.
