We elected to go for the 'behind the falls' + the tower+a boat trip. We really enjoyed the trip overall - if we had a citicism it would be that the first part of the tour (behind the falls) felt rushed as we had only. 45 minutes to queue,descend see the 3 viewing points quickly and queue again for the lift back up in order to get the coach to the tower. We would have preferred more time to get more pictures and felt this was not organised for the visitors convenience. We also felt rushed when we stopped at the maple syrup stop which we enjoyed. The guide was good and answered all my questions. The falls were spectacular.

the the skylone tower, boat ride and being behind the falls was pretty good and as expected. I would've liked some free time (as advertised) from the tour company to be able to see more of the town. We lost some time due to traffic and road closures in Toronto so at Niagara times felt very crunched and a bit rushed (not enough time for sightseeing or eating) Maple testing, and floral clock is something you can definitely skip, not much there Tour guide was very knowledgeable and helpful

Honestly, I wasn’t sure what to expect since this was my first tour from Toronto, but it turned out EPIC! Went with my partner, and we both loved the boat ride right up close to the falls—got SOAKED even with the ponchos (laughing in every photo). Our guide, Jen, was super chill and told some fun stories about local legends. Bit crowded at the main viewing points but we still found space for a selfie. Bus was comfy, AC worked (thank god, it was hot!). Would 100% do it again.

This seamless day tour from Toronto takes you to Niagara Falls on AC coaches, with live commentary and stops at popular attractions on the way.

Embark on the Hornblower Cruise and see the might of the Falls up close on this immersive experience.

Your tour includes stops for photo ops at the Floral Clock and Niagara Whirlpool Rapids, along with maple syrup tasting.

Great for families and groups, this day trip saves you the hassle of having to plan an entire day’s worth of activities and logistics.

Enhance your experience by adding access to Journey Behind the Falls & Skylon Tower observation deck, or upgrade to a semi-private day tour complete with a guided drive through Niagara Falls City.

Our tour guide was fantastic! We were his first tour group as he had been in training to become a guide, and he was amazing. He was funny and friendly and had some great recommendations of places to eat and see in Toronto as well. The tours were great, though with all the add-ons, we didn't actually get enough free time to see the town, so that was a bit of a bummer, but overall was a great value for the cost.

The ease of not having to drive. I didn't have to purchase on my own. The experience was nice overall. Didn't like the vagueness of the meet up spot. Didn't like our tickets were held unless we paid the "tip".
