Your guide will explain about the formation of the 3 different falls which make up Niagara Falls and the energy that is produced from the power of the Falls to help light New York City.

The Old Fort was interesting, but the experience was mostly a paid taxi ride. Take the free shuttle instead. I skipped the tour of Niagara Park because we walked it the previous day and took the $3 trolley ride and the trolley attendant did a great narration.

I sent an email regarding the issues I had with the tour package. I could have saved a lot of time and money not doing this tour as there were waits for pickup, there was no tour guide as advertised for the day tour and we were picked up by a taxi ( which was 30 minutes late) and just dropped us off and then the venue had a hard time processing the voucher as I couldn’t print it out as I was not at home to do so) I had to call 45 minutes in advance to be picked up ( by a different taxi driver who told us that your company had just called him and when he mentioned to them that it was last minute they were told we booked last minute ( we booked three days prior). There was no tour guide nor Attractions4U van ( like we were told to look out for ). We were left on our own to navigate the maid of the mist and dinner at the Hard Rock consisted of a one page limited menu with basic food and drink. We also were told to meet at 8pm for our night tour - we left after we waited and no one showed.
