How it all started
Daud Grewal, the company’s Founder was born and raised in Niagara Falls. He started Tripshepherd with the help of his beloved mother while still in high school. He came up with the idea while working as a parking lot attendant at a local tourist attraction. While working, he would often see big sightseeing buses crammed with tourists and he was sure there was a much more comfortable and personal way to provide sightseeing tours. His idea was simple - he would give personable, private tour experiences using his mother’s minivan.
Continue…
Knowing little about business, Daud quickly made up an 18-point plan on the back of a parking lot sheet. He made a makeshift booth and stood outside with a handmade sign offering his tours but had trouble selling them. After weeks with no business, he was ready to give up and get another job but on July 1st, 2006 - he made his first sale. Today, the company has taken this simple idea and expanded to over a dozen (and counting) different cities across Canada and USA. The tours are still personable, still small-groups and still use vans.

Vince
Hello, my name is Vinny (My cousin Vinny) Welcome to Niagara Falls, my hometown where I grew up and spent most of my life. I am having lots of fun as a tour guide for See-Sight Niagara tours, while running a business on the side. I recently retired from Financial services, and Steel Industry. Tour with me and hear my stories of being a Daredevil when I was growing up; I swam in the Whirlpool, climbed the Niagara Gorge, scuba diving in the Niagara river, and also walked on the famous Niagara Falls “Ice Bridge”. (I never had the thought of going over the Falls in a barrel) Sit back, relax and leave the driving to us and enjoy a beautiful and memorable tour of beautiful Niagara Falls, where you will want to come back again and again. See you soon. —-Vinny—-

John
I grew up in central Ontario but have been living in Atlantic Canada for the last year. Atlantic Canada is one of my favorite places on earth because of the vast array of activities that can be done here. You have a mixture of attractions, national parks and, stunning natural wonders. It also has had a boom with wineries, cideries and craft breweries that started to pop up all over the place in the last decade. This means there is a never-ending list of event attractions and activities for you, your friends and your family to do. I have a passion for all sports both playing watching or discussing. (Favorite teams: Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Raptors, Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Eagles, Arsenal). But my biggest hobby is traveling and thankful I have been very lucky to do quite a bit of it. So far, I have been to 28 countries on 5 continents and I’m hoping to make that 30 before the end of the year. I can’t wait to show you around Atlantic Canada and show you why its one of the greatest places on earth.

My passions lie in learning and teaching, travelling, history, the outdoors and meeting new people. Being a tour guide combines all these into one! I look forward to meeting you and sharing a day of adventure.
Haris
Hey everybody, my name is Haris and I’d be glad to show you around Niagara Falls, or as us locals call it - “The Falls.” Growing up in a little town just outside of The Falls has allowed me to learn both about Niagara Falls and the surrounding region. I hope to tell you about why this area is so special but also make you feel at home. I love the sports of soccer and basketball and love foods of all kinds. Enough reading - I hope to talk to you in person! See(sight) you soon!
Tyler
Hello! My name is Tyler and I can’t wait to show you around Niagara Falls! I’m originally from the small town of LeRoy, NY (the birthplace of Jell-o!) but currently live in Niagara Falls, finishing up my bachelor’s degree in actuarial science at Niagara University. The beauty of Niagara Falls and the surrounding area is one of the main reasons I chose to go to Niagara University, so getting to show you the beauty of the falls is a dream job for me! Not only am I able to meet new people from all over the world everyday but I also get to work next to some of the most breathtaking and gorgeous views the world has to offer! What more could I ask for? Sure the Canadian side of the falls may seem better, but give me a chance to show you the character and beauty of my chosen home, Niagara Falls New York, and I won’t let you down!
Joaquim
Bonjour! I’m Joaquim, but you can call me Joe. I have previous experience in museum studies, and I will soon be back in school to be the best French teacher in the region. I can tell you about Canadian history and culture for hours. I also learned a lot of facts and surprising funny and interesting stories about Niagara city and the falls. I lived in Quebec city, Ottawa and Toronto before calling this place home. If you want to know where to play golf or look for groundhogs, believe me, I’ll find the place for you! It would be a great pleasure for me to be your guide, tell you what I know, fun included, you won’t be disappointed! Thanks!
Daud
Hi, My name is Daud Grewal and I was born and raised in Niagara. I started Tripshepherd with the help of my beloved mother while I was still in high school. I used to see these big sightseeing buses crammed with tourists and I knew there was a much more comfortable and personable way to provide sightseeing tours. My idea was simple, to give personable, private tour experiences in my family van. Hope to see you soon! -Daud
Robbie
Hey there! My name is Robbie, and I would love the opportunity to show you Niagara Falls. Despite being located along the Niagara River, Tripshepherd is not your main "stream” tour company. Our personalized style of tours allow you to conquer this beautiful area in the most comfortable and educational way possible. As a student of hospitality and tourism, it is my passion to provide you with a superb travel experience. Hope to see you soon!
Elijah
Hey there! My name is Elijah, but you can call me your favourite tour guide. I grew up in St. Catharines, a safe distance from the falls, and have previously lived in Ottawa as well as Toronto. I enjoy long walks near the falls and the delicious taste of a Tim’s double double. I love animals, especially my beloved cat, Michael who also enjoys long walks by the water. During the off season, I play varsity volleyball for Mohawk College in Hamilton. I am currently finishing my program there in Human Resources, adding onto my Sociology Degree from Carleton University. I also have a passion for imagegraphy so I can help you get that perfect image for Instagram. If you like any of these things then we will get along just great. If you happen to like all of the above then I might just be the tour guide of your life.
Darrell
Hello and welcome! My name is Darrell and it is with great enthusiasm that I welcome you to the Falls. I was born in the village of Waterloo, NY (The birthplace of Memorial Day!) and later found my way to Buffalo thanks to college and just a little divine intervention. I am a middle school history teacher during the school year and I like to bring the same philosophy I have in my classroom to my tours; excitement, engagement, but luckily for you no homework! If you book with me, you will receive humor, knowledge, and complimentary (water) bottle service all at once. I love being here because this company and my colleagues are amazing, and after visiting here so many times, visiting the Falls is like visiting an old friend. So please come visit and check us out. May the wonderful memories be yours!
Joe
Your tour guide is Joe MacDonald, an eighth generation Islander. Born and raised on the Island, Joe traveled to Alberta working as a pipeline draftsman. Joe moved back to the Island in 1987, working as a structural draftsman on various projects around the island including the Confederation Bridge before becoming a high school history teacher, father, comedian, playwright, and producer and finely ending his teaching career up in Northern Manitoba. Joe loves the Island, past, present, and future and loves sharing that passion with "People From Away!" There will be lots of laughs, information, and sights to enjoy with Joe!
John
I grew up in central Ontario but have been living in Atlantic Canada for the last year. Atlantic Canada is one of my favorite places on earth because of the vast array of activities that can be done here. You have a mixture of attractions, national parks and, stunning natural wonders. It also has had a boom with wineries, cideries and craft breweries that started to pop up all over the place in the last decade. This means there is a never-ending list of event attractions and activities for you, your friends and your family to do. I have a passion for all sports both playing watching or discussing. (Favorite teams: Buffalo Sabres, Toronto Raptors, Toronto Blue Jays, Philadelphia Eagles, Arsenal). But my biggest hobby is traveling and thankful I have been very lucky to do quite a bit of it. So far, I have been to 28 countries on 5 continents and I’m hoping to make that 30 before the end of the year. I can’t wait to show you around Atlantic Canada and show you why its one of the greatest places on earth.
Claire
Hello! My name is Claire! I grew up an hour north of Toronto in a very small town. I attended Brock University in the Niagara Region and this is how I came to be a part of Tripshepherd. When I started in 2018, I had no idea what to expect, but I quickly discovered that I love the tourism industry and haven’t looked back.

Luis
Hello! My name is Luis and I am originally from Mexico. I moved to Canada when I was 11 years old-Eh and have now been living in Aurora, Ontario for 10 years-Eh. Aurora is a 2 hour drive from Niagara Falls-Eh, and the reason I’m all the way out here is because I am studying at Brock university and this job is actually my Co-op-Eh (basically means I get a credit for gaining working experience-Eh). I may not have been born in Niagara Falls, but as you can see, it’s not that hard to adapt to the Canadian culture-Eh. I enjoy meeting new people from all over the world and showing them the best of what Niagara Falls has to offer. I am also very knowledgeable when it comes to the area and it’s surroundings. Usually about 80% of what I will tell you is actually true, and that’s a pretty good percentage in the tourism industry eh

Muhammad
Greetings, My name is Muhammad. I have been a tour guide for 4 years and still counting. I can’t wait to be the one to escort you around Niagara Falls with ease and comfort, showing you the best scenic views and have you experience adventure like there is no tomorrow, as well as inform you of all the history that my town has to offer. If you’d ask me what’s the best part of my job? I would say it’s you. Imagine the amount of people I have met in the past 4 years, from all over the world, with such a diverse background, culture and language but most importantly different experiences, and they had the chance to share that with me and it’s always teaching me something new every day. It’s something I can’t learn from the books. I hope to have you part of those many that I have met and learned from as well as shared the joy of the adventure here in Niagara Falls.

Greetings! My name is Steven and I moved to the Niagara area in 2012 from a small town north of Toronto. I attended Brock University and have recently graduated with a Degree in Kinesiology, but am extremely excited for my opportunity with this amazing company. I have been with Tripshepherd since 2014 where knowledge of Niagara Falls and area has grown immensely. Our tours are by far the best in the area from comfort to friendly, helpful guides. I hope you choose to let us show you around the area and are lucky enough to take a ride with me so I can share everything I have learned with you! See you soon!
Chris
Hello! My name is Chris. I was born in Niagara Falls (not in the waterfalls) and spent the majority of my life living in the beautiful neighbouring town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Having a tourism background through school, and growing up in the heart of tourism, gives me an advantage with local knowledge, recommending my favourite restaurants, breweries, wineries, and attractions. Believe it or not, there’s actually a lot more to do than being up close to the falls! I have been with Tripshepherd since spring 2016 and still continue to have a great time. If you are lucky enough to have me as your guide, I will always be energetic, entertaining, trying to make you laugh, and making sure you have an unforgettable time. Cheers!
Kaitlyn
Hello new friends! My name is Kaitlyn and I couldn’t be more grateful to show you the ropes of Niagara Falls. I am originally from London…. Ontario (I know, and accent from London, England would have been way better). I have recently graduated from Firefighting College and I’m currently studying Carpentry. So I can guarantee you’ll be on a safe ride, my only request is that you don’t bring a barrel to the falls with you. I moved here in August 2017 and have enjoyed every minute of it. With every tourist attraction, you really do get to see what makes Niagara so great and I hope I get the privilege to show you. Tripshepherd is personable, and professional. With our small group tours - you’ll be sure to learn lots, and be taken care of. On a tour with me I like to go the extra mile to make my guests feel welcomed. I have a lot of connections, so if you see the rainbow - you’re welcome in advance! See you soon!
