Meeting and pickup
Meet across the street from Hard Rock/Starbucks/Brock hotel, by the DutyFree sign. So you can spot me - look for my telescoping flagpole with mini flag, I usually have my hair in a side braid or top bun, wear a lanyard with my name on it & "TOUR GUIDE" and a headset/microphone.
End point
We end adjacent to the Niagara Power Station at the Rakine monument marker, enabling attendees to continue to the Power Station or other other vacinity attractions (such as the Niagara Parks funicular incline railray, returning to the table rock falls viewing area, etc.) to explore on their own.
