Funny, fast, no unnecessary tourist traps.
Alan_L, May 2024
Who is Barry? What is Hamilton’s secret? Where is the best ice cream? (But don’t eat it on the bus). These are some of the things you’ll find out from our guide Michael! No one does to funnier nor faster. He didn’t take us to unnecessary places. This tour also got us through the sight seeing spots before the crowds came. It’s definitely one of the best tour guides experiences we’ve experienced with our travels. Sorry Michael, the crowd was dead. Blame it on the foggy morning, everyone thought the tour was going to be a bust, but it turned out sunny and nice!
Response from Host, May 2024
What a headline, that’s awesome! The fog almost stopped us but we trucked thru with big laughs & solid memories. Thx for the kind words and encouragement to keep going. 🤝
Definitely recommend it!
MeiLam_H, May 2024
The guide rearranged our trip well despite the rainy weather His effort to keep us dry amidst the not-so-good weather is really appreciated. Transportation is comfy, and the group size of the tour is great.
Response from Host, May 2024
We have become quite good at “dodging the rain” Group size is always key to a successful day
Niagara Falls day trip from Toronto

Niagara Falls was a sight to behold. Michael was very informative guide and driver. Kept us abreast of facts was funny and got us there and back quickly and safely. Cheers
Response from Host, May 2024
Keeping tour commentary relevant is totally overlooked in the industry. Nobody keeps the day tours fresher than us, thx for noticing!
Absolutely Breath taking
Robert_H, Apr 2024
Edward was the Best tour Guide!!! I had such a great time and absolutely recommend this tour anyone thinking of doing a trip!!!
Response from Host, May 2024
Easy Ed strikes again! Nobody cares more about the Niagara region than our beloved Edward. Very happy your experience was positive and informative!
Great fun and experienced.
Delia_D, Apr 2024
Riding in the hornblower, it was cold but exciting. We go up and down just to cover ourselves for the wind and mist. But it's fun really.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Indeed was bitter cold, you guys are troopers for sticking with it! Thx for letting everyone know the boat ride must be done rain/shine/cold
Amazing experience
nellie_u, Apr 2024
They were on time! And made the experience fun for us… everything was very convenient and our instructor was very knowledgeable
Response from Host, Apr 2024
We call that the triple threat! Timing, laughs & learn
Amazing!
Sabrina_D, Apr 2024
Even though I missed the bus they tried to wait. I got back on the bus. I got my ticket for the boat. And I had fun in Niagara Falls for a few hours! Highly would recommend this one if you wanna save time and money!!
Efficient but no frills
Kelly_M, Apr 2024
"Bus" was old and more like an airport shuttle. I expected a bathroom and charging ports like a luxury travel bus will have.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
high season larger buses with washrooms do run daily. Charge ports over rated and seldom used #powerbank. 4 stars means you laughed at least 4x 😂
Great tour with fun tour guide.
ANTHONY_P, Apr 2024
A great your with a fun tour guide. Lots of good recommendations and how to avoid the tourist traps.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Travel time is so precious, we would never waste your hard earned time and money in the traps! Thx for letting other potential customers know what we’re all about 🤝🚌
Uncomfortable Tip Situation
Gabriel_C, Apr 2024
I would give the tour itself 4 stars. We got to Niagara quickly. The organization was good. I appreciated the information provided by the guide. Niagara itself is beautiful, of course. Additionally, I really appreciated that we were called to be informed that the weather would be bad on the day of our tour and that we could come a day earlier. However, the guide left me with a generally bad impression. At the end of the tour, he started explaining how tour drivers live off tips and would appreciate whatever we give him, 5-10-15 percent. Then, he stopped and waited for us at the exit to leave him a tip. We didn't have cash on us, so the guide asked, "Aren't you leaving anything for the guide?" I said we didn't have cash, and he, knowing we were Europeans, insisted: "At least euros?" I said we didn't have any, and he didn't even say goodbye, just turned his back. We have traveled to many countries over time. We've been to Turkey, where leaving a tip is almost mandatory. We've been to Egypt, where the standard of living for guides is so low that many live below the poverty line. Yet, this is the first time in my life that I was directly asked to leave a tip. In Turkey and Egypt, they had a box labeled 'TIPS'. Moreover, you would think that in a country like Canada, tourists come without cash. It's 2024. If tipping is so important, why not put a QR code where people can pay with a card? I would have paid that way; I wasn't against tipping, just didn't have the means. Furthermore, I understand that Michael is the manager, at least from the description on TripAdvisor. If so, it's not right to say that drivers rely on tips; he's not just a driver, he's a manager. If 10 percent makes a difference to him, why not increase the tour price by 10 percent? I would have paid the extra 10 percent. Moreover, Michael is surely not fit to reply to client reviews. I read how he replies to negative reviews. He also replied to my review on a different site. All good manners are gone. He doesn't know how to read feedback and is surely not able to learn from it. All I wrote here could easily be transformed to some action points on their side instead of angry replies.

Must see Niagara On Well Organized Trip
Teresa_F, Apr 2024
Definitely include the boat ride option - totally worth it!! All views are great and the short stops on the way were nice and helped break up the 2hr bus ride.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Our perfectly curated tour sticks again! Thx for noticing the little things about our day tour
It was a very nice...
Robert_G, Apr 2024
It was a very nice experience. If you are visiting Toronto and have not been to Niagara Falls; you should definitely do this excursion. The tour guide was very knowledgeable of the area and stopped along the way for pictures and exploring. There are plenty of things to do around Niagara Falls; so do not worry about being bored.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Boredom on tour is the worst! We strive never to achieve boredom , thx for letting others know
Best day ever!
matthew_g, Apr 2024
A great tour, loved every single minute! Niagara-on-the-lake was amazing (wish we had more time there) and on throughout the journey the tour guide had so much knowledge and made it so interesting. Photo opportunities on the way and then Niagara Falls and the boat ride were incredible! Clifton hill was also extremely fun! Best tour for getting to see some real Canada and some beautiful stops. Still on cloud nine from such an amazing trip. Thank you! From the Cayman Islands 😃

A Grand Day Out
Al_D, Mar 2024
With driver / guide AJ in charge, this made for an excellent day out with loads of informative commentary and a few good stops on the way. Niagara-on-the-Lakes was a nice stop, though personally I wasn't bothered with the Maple Syrup tasting part of the tour but some on the trip seemed happy with it. No Cruise as it's Winter hours, so I had a ticket for the Skylon Tower, from which the views were superb. It wasn't that busy when we went but I guess in Summer it'd be rammed and time would be tight. As for the Falls - wow! Be prepared to walk lots. I didn't get very wet, probably as it's not peak season and, as AJ told us, a lot of the water is currently diverted for power generation at this time of year. The journey back was fine and we were all dropped at our separate hotels. When I booked I wasn't given an option of a pick-up from my hotel, but oddly others on the trip were. I guess they booked via a different company to me (or even directly). This meant I had a 40-minute walk to the pick-up point in the morning, but hey, I need the exercise. Anyway, it made for a great day out. Handy hint: take water, and a phone charger, as you'll take lots of photos. Lots. Recommended.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
So nice he said it twice! Much love dear travellers
Really enjoyable, would recommend
Kimberly_B, Feb 2024
Really enjoyed this experience - our tour guide was Alex and he shared many interesting facts about Toronto and Niagara Falls. He was really attentive to all members of the group. I definitely found it very worth the price. I also really liked the short stop in Niagara-on-the-lake.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
We are so pleased you enjoyed Alex attention detail on tour! Safe travels back home and thx for your kind words

Amazing Experience
Shekeria_G, Feb 2024
The guide arrived at 8am and allowed time for bathroom usage and coffee. We left at 8:15 after ensuring all guests were accounted for. The drive to and from were under 2 hours and all of the stops were beautiful, as well as memorable. There were no dull moments and our guide was very knowledgeable, patient and friendly. I would recommend!
Response from Host, Feb 2024
You nailed it! Knowledgeable, patient & friendly We appreciate you noticing our calling cards
