What To Expect

Your full-day, multi-part trip to Niagara Falls begins bright and early. Meet your vehicle in Downtown Toronto, get settled in the comfortable seats, and leave the city behind. With round-trip transit and attractions included, this excursion takes all the hassle out of planning a trip to the natural wonder.

As you drive along the famously picturesque Niagara Parkway, your guide will share insider stories and history you wouldn’t encounter on your own. Upon arrival in Niagara, you’ll embark on a Hornblower cruise (in-season) to get right up close and personal with the falls—skip-the-line tickets are included to help you save time.

After free time to continue exploring, hop back aboard your coach and see more of the area’s historic highlights. Your next destination is the scenic town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, known as one of Canada’s top wine regions. Have the special chance to visit a local winery and enjoy a tasting.

Finally, after a full day out, return in the evening to your original Toronto departure point, where this tour ends.

Crowded, horribly planned, disgraceful behavior of people on the bus.
Samuel_S, Jul 2023
It was the most disgraceful experience we ever had on a vacation. The tiny bus had 12 seats and all but one was taken. There was a family of 5 from Britain on board which misbehaved the whole time enabled by the parents. Screaming, trash talking and playing with some idiotic electronic bird for hours. The person misbehaving the most was the mother with an ugly laughter that just hurts in the head. The driver neither intervened nor commented on the situation. He also managed to add an additional "maple Sirup tasting" stop on the way back - a tourist trap. We also spend an hour in the village on the lake that had endless opportunities to leave money for crap nobody wants or needs. This way the driver managed to trap us for 2.5 hours I the rush hour while everyone had to suffer from the British family.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for taking the time to write us a review following your Niagara Falls Tour with us. It it through feedback such as yours that we are able to maintain our strengths, and improve in the future. We are sorry to hear that you did not adore being around certain guests, though as they opted to join us on the same day as your tour, that is unfortunately out of anything we could control. We do hope we provided safety and allowed for you to see all of the sights of our beautiful Niagara, however, which is our goal. Thank you again for your review, and we appreciate your feedback. Yours in Hospitality, Veronica

Natural beauty of the falls was amazing.
jillian_B, Jun 2023
The falls were lovely, although Niagra is now a Las Vegas-Style gong show. If you avoid the ludicrous restaurants and rides and tourist traps, the outdoor theatre and HORNBLOWER ride are quite nice. The host’s microphone was not working so we couldn’t hear most of the narrative he was providing. The event was not organised well and most guests were confused as to where and when to meet.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Dear Jillian_B, Thank you for taking the time to write us a review following your Niagara Tour with us! We are so glad that you enjoyed the tour. We are sorry to see that we missed the 5 star mark.

Bucket list item ticked off!
Emma_C, Apr 2023
Absolutely brilliant day! Great host/driver who kept us entertained and taught us lots about the area. The maple syrup tasting was was a highlight but the boat trip to the falls was spectacular! A bucket list experience ticked off! The pace of the day was perfect and I really enjoyed the last leg of the trip to Niagara-on-the-Lake. Such a pretty place with huge character. Opportunities to buy maple syrup, ice wine, butter pies and more! Don’t hesitate - go on this trip!

Was very confusing and I had to buy extra tickets to the boat ride
Thomas_C, Oct 2022
I had a lot of trouble with this, no one ever even attempted to scan my ticket from Viator so I was never sure I was in the right place and once I arrived to the falls no one had a clue about my ticket so I had to purchase my own boat ride to the falls. I would really like some kind of refund since I had to buy a separate boat ride ticket.
Response from Host, Nov 2022
Thank you for taking the time to bring this to our attention. Typically the day of the tour, you would have been sent a separate QR code for the boat. I am sorry you did not get this and had to buy an additional ticket. We will reach out to Viator and ask them to refund the boat ticket. Thank you
Amazing Tour
