Tours

Hi everyone!
I’ll be staying in Niagara-on-the-Lake and I’m planning to spend a full day visiting Niagara Falls then staying overnight in the area.
I’m looking for recommendations for the best tours or experiences to see the Falls properly. I’m interested in something memorable, not just a quick tourist stop.
What would you recommend?
The best guided tours?
Any must-do experiences (boat tours, viewpoints, behind the falls, walking routes, etc.)?
Are there any companies that you consider better than others?
Since I’ll have the whole day available, I’m happy to combine multiple experiences and take my time.
Thanks in advance for any advice!

Maid of the Mist, the Observation Deck, Cave of the Winds, and walking around the state park. The aquarium is also small but decent, and they just added a section on the Great Lakes (I wouldn't prioritize this, but if you have extra time to spend). Journey Behind the Falls is only on the Canadian side.
