See Sight Tours of Niagara Falls

Founding of See Sight Tours

Earlier today in a conversation with Whirlpool Jet Boats, we were asked how See Sight Tours started up.


Its a bit of a funny story. Picture, if you will, a high school student with a small booth set up out in front of a motel on Ferry Street, holding up a sign offering tours of Niagara Falls. That was the beginning.


After working in the Imax theatre, Daud saw a number of tour companies passing through, and the thought occurred to him "That looks like fun". Soon after, Daud invested in a van, sawed a work bench, and set up a little booth. He plastered the booth with signs saying "See Sight Tours". He'd go for three weeks without a sale -  people would often comment on Daud's sign suggesting he meant to write Sightseeing Tours. To those still asking that question, it wasn't a typo!!


Daud stood at that booth from 9 am until 9 pm everyday. Finally, he received his first sale on July 1st, 2006. 


To all you young business owners out there, persistance really does pay off!


Years later, See Sight Tours now operates differently. There is no more booth hewn from an old work bench. Complete with full-time staff and tour guides, See Sight Tours is proud to be known as small family owned tour company in Niagara Falls, Ontario.


Thanks for reading,

  1. If this blog is about to Niagara Falls tours than I want to share my experience to visit these falls. I went there before bus tour miami. In this season Niagara Falls is the best place to visit. It’s located at the border of Ontario, Canada & New York. The three waterfalls from largest to smallest are the Horseshoe Falls, the American Falls and the Bridal Veil Falls. These falls starts from the Great Lakes. It isn’t a single fall; it’s the combination of three falls. So we can say that Niagara Falls are very wide. And also impressive for tourism.
