We had such a great time with Party Marty! He kept us on schedule and not only took us to everything promised on the tour, but since he grew up in the area, he knew much of the local history and historical facts of the falls from his own experiences. He also took us to be best Italian Bakery (Di Camillo's) that's away from rhe same old tourist places for lunch. We ended up going back there for desserts after the tour it was so good. Marty was great and gave us everything we wanted to see, plus some hidden gems that many others never see when visiting the falls. The Maid of the Mist and the Cave of the Winds were incredible as well. Don't pass on this tour! Without the local experience and shuttle, you really couldn't do on your own, everything we did (find a terrific reasonably priced lunch, get through ticket lines, find parking, see lesser known scenic views, etc.) to see everything we saw and experienced in 5 hours on this tour. We highly recommend Over the Falls Tours and hope you get Marty if you do go, but I'm sure all of their guides are great.

It was great to have a guide if you don't mind being given specific amount of time for things. They share information about history, include all the major things you would like to see and some others each included in the tour price. I thought it was a great way to get to see everything.

I totally disagree with the driver forcing you to give him 20 dls of tip Tip should be optional not mandatory First and for sure the last time that I would use this company.

The tour is poorly planned and executed. It was supposed to be 4 hours and was 6 hours due to poor execution. This affected some people's schedules. It states to eat a good meal before or after the tour. However, they took us to a bakery which was 1 1/2 hours of our time. People did not appreciate the wasted time or sparse food selection. The driver was friendly.
