Everything was well organised: the pick-up in Toronto was on time, our guide was very friendly and helpful. He shared with us interesting information on the trip to Niagara Falls. He brought us to the exact spots where we wanted to go. In addition, we were lucky, because end of March there are not so many tourists but we had great weather.

We had an amazing experience with Gide Bernad on our trip to Niagara Falls! He was professional, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable throughout the journey. From start to finish, everything was smooth and well-organized. Bernad made sure we were comfortable and took the time to point out interesting sights along the way, which made the trip even more enjoyable. His positive attitude and excellent customer service truly stood out. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a memorable visit to Niagara Falls. I would highly recommend Gide Bernad to anyone looking for a reliable and enjoyable travel experience. Thank you for such a fantastic trip!.🙏🙏🤗🤗💕

Everything on the tour was exceptional except the most Important thing which is time. It wasn't enough to do everything we paid for, and it was the most expected, the Hornblower, which was irritating because we needed to choose between been left by the bus or going into the boat. Second, due to the lack of time, we never got to see Niagara by the lake through the tour itself but we had to walk down by our own. Finally, we paid for a 9 hours tour, and the guide told us we where just going to be there from 10:30am to 1:45 pm, and taking into account the going to and coming back, this tour wasnt even 6 hours long (we left the hotel at 8:18 am exactly). You need to give what you say in your webpage and give enough time to do everything. I lost my money which i paid for the Hornblower Cruise unfortunately.

Great trip & well organised. Didn't take the helicopter option offered on the bus for a special rate, but felt that Skylon view was as good & better for pics.

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; replaced by either the Skylon Tower, Butterfly Conservatory, or Niagara Parks Power Station during winter (December to April).

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.
