WHY HIRE A NIAGARA FALLS TOUR GUIDE?
There are all types of ways that visitors can explore Niagara Falls Canada but the best way to do it is with a guided tour.
Let’s look at the 4 biggest advantages of hiring a Niagara Falls tour guide.
1/ A TOUR GUIDE SAVES YOU TIME

We have proven, 5 star rated Niagara Falls tour packages that offer the best of all worlds so you can book with confidence, knowing you’re getting the most efficient and best tour of Niagara Falls possible.
Time is money! Speaking of which...
2\ TOUR GUIDES CAN SAVE YOU MONEY
You might be thinking, doesn’t it cost money to book a guided tour of Niagara Falls?
While there is an added cost to booking a guided Niagara Falls tour, you have a very good chance of coming out ahead financially by hiring a tour guide for 3 reasons:
- Special Rates. Often times when you book a Niagara Falls tour package, the tour company may benefit from special rates for the included attractions which, if they’re smart, they will use to pass along the savings to you. This means that a portion of the added costs of booking a tour guide are offset by you spending less on attraction tickets than you otherwise would have.
- Avoid spending mistakes. Another way you can end up saving money by booking a Niagara Falls tour guide is by learning which places to avoid during the rest of your visit. Niagara Falls has many worthwhile businesses and attractions to try out, but let’s face it there are occasionally a few duds as well. Your tour guide knows the area better than anyone and will be happy to let you know where you can save your money.
- Special discounts and savings. This example may only apply to us since we appear to be the only tour company offering a Niagara Falls coupon bundle to everyone who books a tour. It includes over $150 worth of discounts and promotions to other places in Niagara Falls that you can use to save money.
3\ LEARN ABOUT LOCAL NIAGARA FALLS HISTORY AND CUSTOMS
An essential ingredient to experiencing Niagara Falls Canada is context.
Sure, taking a ride on the boat tour and a journey behind the falls is a wonderful experience by itself, but taking part in attractions like these after just learning about the natural history of the falls adds a whole new dimension to the experience.
Aside from learning about the falls themselves, you’ll also benefit from getting to see and learn about many other points of interest along the way that you likely would have missed on your own. People are often surprised about how much there is to experience outside of the waterfall.

4\ MEET FELLOW TRAVELERS
Unless you’ve chosen to book a private tour of Niagara Falls, the chances are good that you’ll get to experience the tour alongside other like-minded travelers from other parts of the planet.

The beauty of a walking tour is that you can choose to keep to yourself if you’d like or join conversations with others on the tour along the journey. Who knows, you may even meet a pen pal. :)
