“Joe P was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable and funny. The trip was great, only complaint is that there weren’t enough hours in the day! The boat trip was amazing and Joe took us right down to the dock. We didn’t get the lunch included but went to the same restaurant and ordered off the menu, the food was great and the view outstanding. And the food prices were also reasonable. Niagra on the lake was a beautiful town, felt like I was on TV in the Good Witch! I would definitely take the tour again if I was in Canada. We went on the smaller bus from Toronto Bus…”
