Amazing Tour

D_L, Mar 2024

Our guide Micko was a true professional. He is unbelievably knowledgeable about the region, funny, a perfect choice. He had amazing insight of local history, geography, advice on what to do, where to go, recommendations on where to eat. He is a true treasure to Niagara Day Tours. The bus was nice, clean. The drive from Toronto to Niagara Falls was smooth as can be. We had about 3 1/2 hours to explore the Falls, which was a sufficient amount of time. Take the Hornblower Cruise into the Falls, if the option is available, well worth it. If you are lucky enough to have him as your guide, you are in for a treat.

Best birthday ever

Aprianna_W, Nov 2023

Mel was an amazing Host! Very informative and quite funny! I think we had more than enough time at each stop, allowing us to tour things that we may not have stopped by on our own. We got to see wild turkeys and a Fox! Would definitely book this tour again and do the boat ride next!! Oh they do offer tickets on the bus at a cheaper price, don’t worry about booking Skylon or the boat ride ahead!

Very sad

tour not attended, I generated refund after due to date with reason that my visa application refused but they didn't help us. Very sad.

Niagara - Autumn 2023

Angela_m, Oct 2023

Last time we visited we went by train - this was a much better experience. So glad to be advised to go up Skylon Tower - amazing! Narration was full of information and guide was very kind.

Awesome Experience

Barry_T, Sep 2023

Unique view of Niagara Falls from the Canadian side. The bus driver was very precise with historical facts related to the area and the falls. You really have to book the boat tour and the tower in Addison to the bus trip this booking provides in order to get the full experience of the falls.

Great value for a day of adventure

Great tour, would recommend

Rebekah_C, Jun 2023

Travel guide was very informative and friendly. Clean bus, smooth process for additional options eg. Boat to Niagara

Great Tour!

Greg_M, Jun 2023

We thought we were booking a small group. However the group turned out to be about 40 people! We had an additional stop at the Maple Syrup store but were able to complete all other stops as listed on the itinerary. Mel, the driver/tour guide was very accommodating and enriched our experience with his historical knowledge and sense of humor. Overall, we were very satisfied with this tour!

Clear directions, clear...

Lasmaroha_S, May 2023

Clear directions, clear instructions, alot of new information was provided along the trip. He was very patient and made the tour enjoyable.

Completely misled and disappointed

Meredith_W, May 2023

We chose this particular Niagara Falls excursion because the description said it would be a small group of no more than 14 people. That was SO wrong. We had nearly 40 in our group. The tour also stated that we would get 3.5 hours at the falls. We were given less than three. The first stop of the tour was some type of Maple Leaf shopping center. This was not listed as a stop and it took 45 minutes of our time. A total waste. We were pretty much forced into a maple syrup sampling (we did not partake) and then given way too much time to roam around an overpriced gift shop or get food from a food court at 10am. I feel like this was added into the trip as some type of kickback between Chariots of Fire and the gift shop. The other five minute "stops" were then just quick drive bys and then we FINALLY made it to the falls. However, Skylon Tower was first and while everyone paid to go up, it was not worth it and another coerced attraction. The description of the trip said Skylon would be an option while at the falls and tickets could be purchased from the driver. It did not say that the driver would take you directly to Skylon and make everyone get off the bus and go in whether you wanted to or not. This was also a HUGE waste of time. When we finally got dropped off at the falls, the people who had tickets for the boat ride had to go immediately, or they wouldn't have time. Thankfully, we skipped the boat ride and went to get lunch since it was almost 1:00pm! For a tour that left Toronto at 8am to not get to Niagara until almost 1:00 is ridiculous. We felt completely misled and ripped off. If I had known that the tour would go in reverse, be way more people than listed, and given over an hour less time at the main attraction, I would have booked with a different company. If you're thinking of booking this one because you like it's description, don't be deceived. You're not getting what's advertised.

Response from Host, May 2023

Thank you for taking the time to leave us a review. We are sorry that you did not enjoy the tour. Our website does not say that we are limited to 14 people, Viator added that because we had a 14 seat bus at the time that we made the listing. We have now updated it. We stopped at Maple Leaf Place for 3 reasons 1.) They have 3 sets of clean washrooms for passengers to use after the drive from Toronto. 2.) For those that are interested, they offer free tasting samples of three different kinds of Maple Syrup, maple fudge, and chocolates, and 3.) for those who didn't have breakfast, they serve fine food made fresh daily on site, which can be carried back on the bus in take-out cartons. 99% of our passengers appreciate the scenic drive on the Parkway, following the Niagara River with 5 minute picture stops at the Whirlpool Rap[ids, Hydro-electric Dams, Floral Clock, and one of the world's smallest chapels. On a daily basis, year in and year out, almost all our passengers appreciate going up the Skylon Tower for the magnificent panoramic views of the Falls and River, and the opportunity for great photography. For those who don't go up the Tower, the driver is available to drive them down for extra time at the riverside. After the Skylon Tower, our passengers have 3 hours to explore the riverside on their own. This includes time for the boat ride which is around half an hour. From experience, we include what 98% of what our passengers value.

EXCITEMENT TO THE MAX

Cecilia_C, May 2023

Being able to go up the Tower overlooking the Falls followed by the Boat up to the Falls and finally seeing the falls before they plunge to the bottom is an experience I and my group won’t soon forget !!

Awesome dat

Shaheen_S, Apr 2023

This tour is just awesome. They don’t really tell you all but covers a lot. We ha bathroom break and then syrup tasting, pass by chapel and quick photo op for whirlpool. The only thing is if you’re riding boat I think the actual time at falls should at least one more hour. We had a great time

The tour was amazing! The guide was friendly, attentive, and shared lots of stories about Canada and the falls. We stopped in beautiful places and had an excellent sightseeing experience. It was a really great experience!

Just amazing!

Fiona_W, Sep 2022

Don't really know where to start, it was fa tastic from start to finish. Our tour guide Mel told us many many stories along the way and made sure every thing kept to time, every one was cool enough and we'll hydrated. We started at the skylon tower (extra $15) which was well worth it for the aerial shots of both the American and Canadian falls. Then to the hornblower (extra $35), one of the best things I've ever done, truly amazing, especially on the top deck, we were very lucky with the weather so dried off very quickly! Then a few photo stops, and lastly an hour at Niagara on the Lake, a beautiful little village so glad we went there. Would recommend to everyone coming for sure!

Pick up was prompt and...

Tannis_J, Aug 2022

Pick up was prompt and efficient. There are a total of 3 hours in Niagara Falls which I found to be enough time to see the falls, walk around, and grab a snack. Tour guide Mel was very knowledgable

Awesome day trip to Niagara.

amingo, Aug 2022

Enthusiastic and friendly tour guide. Provided bottled water along with a comfortable and safe experience. Highly recommended.

The Niagara Falls tour was fantastic!

Craig_M, Jun 2022

The bus driver/operator. Mel was the by far, the best driver and tour commentator that we have ever had. He had awesome comments and suggestions that made the tour fantastic. He has a cool sense of humour that we most enjoyed.

Perfect day trip

Deanna_F, Jun 2022

Mel our bus driver was very informative of Canada and Niagara Falls history. The bus was comfortable and we had plenty of time seeing the sites.

Good trip, visiting many highlights around Niagara

Georgios_P, Jun 2022
