Exceptional tour of Niagara Falls
Lauren_C, October 2026
Walk Niagra Tours provided an amazing experience. They made the entire process so easy. Our tour guide Terry was exceptionally knowledgeable. It was a fantastic tour that included main areas around Niagara Falls, journey behind the Falls, and the boat tour. It was an excellent tour for children as well. There was a special needs member of our group and Terry took special care and concern to make the trip wonderful for him as well. It was an overall wonderful experience.

Fun time at the Falls!
Rebecca_M, October 2026
Katie was wonderful! I was a little worried about the tunnels being clostrophobic. She walked me through my options if I got panicked. She gave excellent commentary about the falls and we moved at a good pace.
Response from the operator · WalkNiagaraTours
So glad to hear Katie was able to help you through the tunnel experience.
★★★★★Tripadvisor review
Great trip to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side.
michaelsL1310RN, October 2026
Great trip and our trip guide Dave was super nice and knowledgeable. You certainly could do both the journey behind the falls and boat ride on your own, but was great to meet other travelors and share the journey.
Response from the operator · WalkNiagaraTours
The context and history you get from the tour guide makes the attractions and views so much better! :)
