Visite guidée vraiment très intéressante. Notre guide était adorable et connaissait parfaitement son sujet. Elle partageait sa passion et ça se ressentait :) Concernant la visite en elle-même : nous sommes montés en haut de la Skylon Tower (la vue est superbe d'en-haut) ; nous avons marché dans Niagara (et avons reçu des éléments intéressants sur l'histoire des lieux) ; puis nous nous sommes rendus au "Tunnel" de Niagara. Cet ancien bâtiment industriel a vraiment été bien refait, on peut observer les anciennes installations qui servaient à produire de l'électricité. Et le Tunnel permet de se rendre aux pieds des chutes. Wahou ! Bref une belle visite ! Seul petit point : elle n'est proposée qu'en anglais pour le moment (une option en français serait la bienvenue).

A very informative and amazing experience - the tour guide Deanne was very polite, knowledgeable and the tour was well paced I got to see the Niagara power station & tunnel for the first time - it was very fascinating to know about the history and construction! The 360 views from the Skylon tower were breathtaking esp I was lucky to enjoy the bloom of fall colors along Niagara from up above. I totally recommend this tour - it is educating, smoothly paced and definitely worth your time!

Visite très intéressante avec notre guide. Nous sommes montées au sommet de la Skylon pour profiter d'une vue magnifique sur les chutes puis avons marché jusqu’à l'ancienne centrale hydroélectrique. La visite comprend l'accès au tunnel qui offre également une vue imprenable depuis le bas des chutes. La guide nous a parlé de nombreux "fun fact" sur les chutes. Cela pourrait être intéressant de prévoir une visite en français. Je recommande cette visite.

The night was not too cold for a tour and our tour guide was very pleasant and knowledgeable and fun to be around. My only regret was that we had only our phone to take pictures with of the great night lights. A night walk around Niagra is a must for every visitors.

Excellent experience and wonderful stories about Niagara and the Falls. We travel as a family with our 14 year old son, and we enjoyed every minute of this one and half an hour tour. Thank you to our guide Catherine for the stories and hints.
