What To Expect

Why choose between an American tour of Niagara Falls or a Canadian one? A proper visit to Niagara Falls includes activities on both sides of the border. This tour takes care of that important detail.

Get things started on the right foot with a convenient hotel pickup (from Niagara Falls area) in a comfortable sightseeing vehicle, complete with an expert guide who knows everything there is to know about Niagara Falls.

This day trip to Niagara Falls hits all the hot spots of the area.

What more can be said about the Maid of the Mist boat cruise? This is the ultimate Niagara Falls activity and no trip to the falls is complete without it. Grab a poncho and get up close and personal with the falls. Feel the cool spray and the powerful sounds of the water. This is the experience of a lifetime for those taking the tour between late April and October.

Outside of those dates, take an equally exciting “Journey Behind the Falls” to explore the scenic tunnels below and behind the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Make no mistake—this is as close to the falls as anyone wants to be. The sound is like thunder and the view is breathtaking. Stand back, or in this case stand just close enough to feel the power. It’s exhilarating.

Other stops on this tour include the Niagara Gorge, Goat Island, Prospect Point Park observation tower overlooking the falls, Queen Victoria Park, and the famous Floral Clock, one of the largest in the world.

Please note: The Maid of the Mist tour departs from the U.S. side of Niagara Falls. All customers booking this tour must have appropriate documentation to enter the United States and Canada.

All the sights in just one day
Iris_B, Apr 2024
We spent a long day seeing Niagara Falls from just about every angle. With only one day, we don’t think we could have seen so much on our own.
Great excursion!!!
dj_s, Apr 2024
Jessica was a fantastic guide. Saw everything we had planned on seeing. She was totally incredible . We had fun and made new friends.
Wonderful niagara
chris_h, Apr 2024
Wonderful tour as we only had a day. Tour guide dayna was brilliant and adjusted plans to get us around smoothly with awesome experiences. Great tip to see Niagra on the lakes too
See the highlights in 6 hours.
Brian_S, Apr 2024
The guide was a bit like a school teacher and loads of unwanted comments but generally a good tour however way over priced. One hour of pickups and no skip the lines.
No to Viator!
Djovan_R, Apr 2024
The tour itself was great! Our tour guide was fantastic.. I’m giving 1 start only to Viator platform itself and not the tour company. Tried to reschedule my reservation because of our delayed flight but Viator was inconsiderate. I know their policy on cancellation but I’m not canceling the reservation , its to make changes due to unforeseen event.. they told me NO!! The bad part is on the day of our tour, the tour company called us and asking us to confirm that our schedule was changed according to Viator.. we only slept 2 hrs just to be on that tour because Viator said they cannot do anything on the reservation.. But yet they communicated it to the Tour company! No more Viator for me from now on.. Better deal directly to the tour companies if you want to make reservations.. way better and cheaper!
Memorable
Tanya_V, Apr 2024
Dana gets a 5. She was so friendly, knowledgeable, and fun. We went to the Maid of Mist which was an awesome experience and to other falls which were all breathtaking to take pics and videos of. We had lunch in the Hungry Moose which was mediocre food and very overpriced. I bought 2 Panninis and 2 small chicken soups with 1 beer and was charged 81 bucks... After lunch we went to the Canadian side. I was looking forward to visiting the Skyline but it wasn't at all what I was expecting, in fact it was very boring to us but all in all it was a very pleasant experience and Dana was lovely to have as a tour guide. Thanks
Amazing Tour to Niagara Falls

Dana was an amazing tour guide! From pickup she communicated where her vehicle was and was promptly on time. The van was roomy and comfortable and she got us to each of our destinations in great time and ahead of the crowds! She shared lots of information and did an amazing job fitting in all of our tours. Thanks Dana for a truly memorable day!
Awesome experience!!

It was awesome to see the falls from all angles and from the air. The Maid of the Mist boat ride was a fantastic experience!
Team Nick for life
Cynthia_K, Apr 2024
Nick gave our family of 9 the best possible Niagra Falls experience we could have hoped for. Everything was handled and ran so smooth. Nick shared stories between stops, answered all of my kid’s questions and made us all feel welcome. After the tour was over, there was nothing we missed experiencing. Checked all the boxes!
Get Brian
Ralph_L, Apr 2024
Brian is an exceptional tour guide. I wish we had had him on some of our previous large group tours in other destinations. He gave us in depth knowledge of Niagara Falls plus tips that made our experience even more memorable. He is articulate and funny.
