The tour was very well organized. We were picked up on time at the agreed-upon meeting point. During the ride, Bernad (our guide) explained the tour itinerary to us several times in very clear, slow English. Once we arrived, everything went very smoothly. We received all our tickets right at the start and were then able to manage our time as we pleased. Bernad was a great guide and even exchanged a few words with us in German. I highly recommend this tour.

The tour was a full day packed with fun sites, interesting facts shared by our driver/guide, an easy yet steady pace, tips for making the most of each stop, and an incredible Niagara Falls experience that only nature can provide. The tour included comfortable, cool and clean transportation. The pickup and drop off sites were within easy walking distance from our hotel and they ran on time. A tour worth taking for everyone.

The Skylon Tower is very impressive—we loved it, as well as the cruise. I was disappointed by the behind-the-scenes tour of the falls—I was expecting something different—but the day was magical, the guide was very clear, the transportation was comfortable, and we stopped for a tasting of maple syrup and chocolate. It was a wonderful, well-rounded excursion that I highly recommend.

The guide and driver were very friendly, insightful and accommodating. Couldn't recommend this tour more, although I would say if you go for the full package (including helicopter flight) there's a lot to fit in. We are exhausted but had an amazing time

A wonderful experience—a must-do if you're in the area. The cruise, the Journey Behind the Falls, and the tower all offer different perspectives on the falls. Don't be afraid to get wet 😂!

Thanks to our guide Bernard, he was great and very knowledgeable of the area. He even helped us bypass the pesky photography people so we had more time to enjoy the sights. Very helpful and very thoughtful, thanks again.

A full-day trip from Toronto takes the stress out of planning, with transportation, attraction tickets, and logistics arranged for you.

Round-trip AC coach transfers are included, along with a live guide sharing stories and local insights throughout the journey (German commentary is available on select departures).

Free time at Niagara Falls lets you explore the waterfront, take photos from different viewpoints, browse local attractions, or enjoy a meal overlooking the falls.

The Hornblower Cruise brings you remarkably close to the waterfalls, with open-air views of the mist, roar, and power of Horseshoe Falls from the river.

Along the way, you'll stop at the Floral Clock and Niagara Whirlpool, two of the region's most popular photo spots and natural landmarks.

Depending on the option selected, your experience may also include skip-the-line access to Journey Behind the Falls, entry to Skylon Tower, a narrated driving tour of Niagara Falls, and maple syrup and fudge tasting.

Pick up was straightforward and nice not having to worry about parking etc once at Niagara. Earlyish start helped build some free time to explore (in theory) but it was very busy so we had much less than originally informed would be likely
