Description

Leave behind the Toronto bustle to experience the remarkable natural beauty of Niagara Falls. Relax in your reclining seat and enjoy the WiFi on the late model climate controlled coach. On this full-day tour, we arrive early at Niagara Falls to maximize on your experience and avoid the larger crowds. Take your skip the ticket line and hop on a Niagara Cruise boat with your keepsake poncho or the Journey Behind the Falls excursion, depending on the season (if option selected). Cruise up Niagara River for up-close views of the awesome Horseshoe Falls. Join your English-speaking guide for lunch (if option selected) - taking in views above the falls. Board the late-model coach again and head to the Whirlpool Rapids observation deck followed by a stop at Niagara-on-the-lake and a Maple Syrup tasting experience.

Highly Recommend

This was a great experience. Alex and Hugo were incredible! We appreciated the loose structure with lots of free time in Niagara. Be sure to plan your free time. After the boat, we walked up to the Table Rock Welcome Center (beautiful views along the walk) and then we ubered to the Niagara Distillery for a burger and beer flight before getting back on the bus. Niagara on the Lake time will go very quickly. Be sure and pick your must stop locations in advance.
