5/5
Great combination Tour
Communication prior to the trip was a little odd; and the number I called kept going to a voicemail. That is the only thing I think they need to work on. Is giving you a direct number that someone will answer. We were picked up in front of our hotel; out guide came into the hotel and searched for us which I thought was great. Very nice young man named Carwyn! He was very informative and very funny. Some of his quips (jokes) were very easy to follow and others were very tongue and cheek; but my wife and I found him extremely entertaining. He had a lot of knowledge about the area and would answer any thing we asked. After picking us up; 6 total; we were on our way. He took us on a brief tour of the area before our first stop; which was the Behind The Falls tour. He walked us in; got our tickets for us and gave us a time to meet back at the van. The Behind the falls tour was cool; the history of how the did it and being able to see through the water from the inside was cool. You go down to an observation deck 25 feet from the falls and it can get very wet depending on the wind. Then up the road to the Hornblower tour ( like the Maid of the Mist) just the Canadian version. Starts out right at the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls; and takes you up and personal (or as close as you can go) to the Horseshoe Falls; The power and beauty of the falls is incredible. once off the boat we travel down river to the Helicopter facility. The Helicopter ride is only about 12 minutes and is really a quick ride but well worth it. ( I could stay in a helicopter for hours!) the pilot was very smooth and never felt scared. The copter has a great view and he makes a loop at the falls so both sides can see it. After that we went and had dinner at the Skylon Tower. Try and go up on elevator 3 its the best view of the falls; but have you camera or phone ready to take a pic or two. The dinner was good we all had the salmon and enjoyed the view at the rotating restaurant. I would highly recommend this tour especially for the price!
