Behind the falls was quite good. You go down the lift and through tunnels and see behind the falls. There was ice still on the falls.Full review by shirleyyappy

Big Disappointment. Don't waste your money. Although the viewing platform gives you a decent view of the falls, the 2 behind the falls portals leave a lot to be desired. You don't really see anything…Full review by MapleLeaf1867

Q:
Has this tour been effected. By the air quality? I’m due to travel in a week and half.
A:
As of today, the air quality is at 3 ("low risk"). I don't think the venue itself is a problem. It's the long lineups upstairs for tickets and downstairs for the elevator. If we're talking 10+ …

As of today, the air quality is at 3 ("low risk"). I don't think the venue itself is a problem. It's the long lineups upstairs for tickets and downstairs for the elevator. If we're talking 10+ ("extreme") like early last week, then I might be concerned. Just bring along an N95 mask and keep a eye on Environment Canada, just in case things go smoky again.

I'm of the opinion that the more venues for which you can pre-purchase tickets, the better. Most places during the high season are crowded and I suspect that people start lining up …
A:
I'm of the opinion that the more venues for which you can pre-purchase tickets, the better. Most places during the high season are crowded and I suspect that people start lining up somewhat before the open. Pre-purchasing means you can skip about 50% of the wait time. The only real downsides to pre-purchasing is that you can't do things on the spur of the moment and if it's a weather dependent thing (like the helo ride), then the weather may not co-operate...
