See Sight Tours was fantastic!
We did the US & Canada tour of Niagara Falls and we loved it. While it was a long day for all of us; there were 4 of us- 2 adults and 2 teens; there was absolutely NO WAY we would have been able to see; or even known to go to; the places this tour took us. The US part of the tour started early; Mohammed met us on the Canadian side and we walked to the US; then he brought a van and we did the rest of the tour via van; getting out at our stops. He was a very knowledgeable guide and was great to have along- he pointed out things we would have overlooked. Cave of the Winds is not to be missed- without the tour; we never would have ventured to this spot; as we are US citizens and stayed on the Canada side. I wouldn't have thought to include the American side in our travels without taking this tour; but the US side of the Falls is spectacular and the stops on this tour; like Goat Island and the Three Sisters Islands were spots we would have missed out on seeing without taking the tour. The only down side to this tour (which has NOTHING to do with See Sight) was that the tour ended after 12 and we had until 2:30 to get back to our hotel to meet our guides for the Canadian part of the tour. The teens were hungry (because they are always hungry- LOL) and entrance into Canada for pedestrians took almost an hour. We had planned a lunch spot but by the time we got through border patrol; it was well after 1pm; so we scrapped our original lunch spot plan and just ate a quick (not very good) meal at the fast food court across the street. We made it back to our hotel with a few minutes to spare; just enough time to freshen up but not really relax; before our afternoon guides picked us up. We had an experienced guide and a guide in training in the afternoon. This tour was less walking; they took us to all of the popular spots to visit- Skylon Tower; Hornblower boat tour; Journey Behind the Falls; etc. While we loved this part of the tour as well- the Hornblower is a definite don't miss- my only issue was that the tour guides don't come with you on the attractions. This is fine- we understood why they don't; but at several spots; we were finished at the attraction and waited for the guides to come back and get us for upwards of 20+ minutes. Overall; this was an experience we all loved and wouldn't change that we booked the tour at all. Many people I know questioned my thought process for booking an entire day of touring and while we were tired at the end of the day; we would not have seen a fraction of the sights we did without booking the tour. We saw all three of the falls from pretty much every vantage we could- American; Canadian; up high; below; behind; in... and every angle was AMAZING! Thanks See Sight tours for an experience we won't soon forget!
