I was picked up in a comfortable vehicle. James, our guide for the day, explained the day’s programme and expertly drove us, giving tidbits of interesting facts along the way. The falls of course, were fantastic. I opted for the option to go behind the falls and though this was an amazing demonstration of the power of the falls, the better photos were at the top due to the mist.

Overall, I would recommend this trip, with the following notes:
We were crammed into a Cadillac Escalade. I was expecting a bus or a van.
The round trip took a full 9 hours, but easily could have been cut down to 6.
The winery was awful and pointless and should be cut from the tour.
They should really tell guests who are taking the boat ride exactly what to wear/not wear. The amount of water was ridiculous, with no towels or anything to help dry off afterward.
The tour guide/driver, James, was polite and quiet, but not entertaining or particularly informative.
THE BUFFET LUNCH AT THE SHERATON WAS PURE GARBAGE. Do not, under any circumstances, pay for this lunch. I am a foodie but I respect a good hotel buffet. This was not it. It was dirty, disgusting slop. The only good part was the view.
Now for the good:
If you're good at taking pictures, it is worth the trip.
It is pleasant to have someone else drive.
The little town we stopped in to shop was cute and had some interesting stories and clean public restrooms.
Again, overall, I would recommend this trip to those who have never been to Niagara Falls before. If you are coming from Toronto, it is worth it to have someone else drive - the drive itself is not pleasant and you can sleep. Just don't buy the lunch.
