Amazing day. The falls are more spectacular than I anticipated We did behind the falls, Skylon tower and boat ride. We also did additional helicopter ride. All amazing but to be honest a bit too much to cram in. It's a bit of a rush to do it all. We almost missed the boat trip as the queue was so big. We just managed to do it, but was 50-50 if we made it back to the coach in time. Do the boat first!! Not last, as it's the best bit so don't risk missing it

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.

Bus trip was terrible, 4 hrs to get to the falls, 3 hrs to get back (traffic not your fault), then we had to rush like mad to see the tower, behind falls, & boat cruise by 3.30 pm....the bus left us behind at the tower at 12.45 pm...lots of wasted time (eg, stopping at maple leaf centre)...we had no time to look at the falls from the pathway

    This day tour from Toronto to Niagara Falls was absolutely outstanding in every way! The deciding factor for this perfect experience was our tour guide Bernard. Bernard was not only open and incredibly friendly, but also super organized and clearly experienced. His calm, competent manner made us feel safe right from the start. The real surprise and a huge plus: although the tour was advertised as English-speaking, Bernard spoke excellent, fluent German! He took great care of his German guests, explaining everything in German and patiently answering questions, making for a particularly pleasant and personal experience. This care and fluency really set this tour apart from others. The tour was excellently organized and perfectly timed. Bernard guided us quickly, but never rushed, from highlight to highlight. We had enough time to marvel at the mighty falls from different perspectives (including time for the famous Maid of the Mist boat trip or similar, depending on the tour package). Waiting times are not always avoidable but stress was definitely not part of this tour. The smooth operation was testament to Bernard's vast experience. Conclusion: If you are looking for a perfectly organized, stress-free and extremely rewarding day trip to Niagara Falls, this tour is the absolute recommendation! Bernard's professionalism, charm, organization and above all his excellent knowledge of German and his care for German guests make this tour a real highlight. An all-round successful experience that we would recommend to anyone without hesitation - especially to German-speaking travelers who will feel that they are in good hands with Bernard!
