But the excitement continues! After the exhilarating cruise, our expert guide will lead you on a captivating walking tour along the boardwalk, delving into the cultural and historical tapestry of Niagara Falls. You'll hear captivating stories of the former Honeymoon Bridge's collapse and the audacious daredevils who defied the falls' power.
