Itinerary
Your first stop will be a view of the magnificent Niagara Falls. Where every year millions of visitors stand close to the thundering water rushing over the brink of the Horseshoe Falls! Not only is Table Rock right at the Falls itself, but there's plenty to do once you get there. You will be treated with an up-close view of the Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls from the Table Rock welcoming center for the best selfies and family pictures.
Journey Behind the Falls is a year-round attraction that offers an unique view of the Falls from below and behind. Visitors descend 150 ft. by elevator, where a short tunnel (150 ft.) gives access to two outdoor observation decks and two portals located directly behind the Falls. At Journey Behind the Falls, you`ll experience the awesome spectacle of one-fifth of the world’s fresh water crashing down to the basin below. During summer daylight hours, over 2,800 cubic meters of water thunders over the brink every second, travelling 65 kilometers per hour! Your Journey Behind the Falls visit will take 30 to 45 minutes and in the spring and summer months, you`ll receive a free souvenir biodegradable rain poncho as protection from the mist of the Falls. Elevators descend 150 feet through bedrock to tunnels that lead and to the Cataract Portal and the Great Falls Portal which is one third of the way behind the massive sheet of water. Then you walk on to the Upper and Lower Observation Decks at the very foot of the Falls. Posters of information are a great resource of information about the history and evolution of the hallways you walk through. Journey Behind the Falls is an iconic Niagara Falls experience, make sure you take a waterproof camera. (tickets available to purchase)
The intricate designs on the face of the Floral Clock are created with up to 16,000 carpet bedding plants and are changed twice each year. The planted face of the Floral Clock is maintained by Niagara Parks horticulture staff, while the mechanism inside is kept in working order by Ontario Hydro.
Niagara-on-the-Lake’s Heritage District offers beautiful shopping, where our visitors are often found strolling. Revisit the glamour of the 1920’s and 30’s and find your perfect hat at Beau Chapeau. Canada’s oldest year-round holiday emporium.
Scenic picture stop at Whirlpool Aerocar. The Whirlpool Aero car was designed by a Spanish engineer, Leonardo Torres Quevedo and has been in operation since 1916. The cable car is suspended from six sturdy cables and offers a wonderful view of the Niagara Whirlpool which is formed at the end of the rapids where the gorge turns abruptly counterclockwise and the river escapes through the narrowest channel in the gorge. High above the racing Niagara River, you'll be transported through the air in an antique cable car. Far below, the torrent of water abruptly changes direction and creates one of the world’s most mesmerizing natural phenomenon – the Niagara Whirlpool. Sometimes frightening and always unforgettable!
The Sir Adam Beck I Generating Station (GS) has provided clean, renewable electricity to Ontario for nearly 100 years. When it was opened by Sir Adam Beck on Dec. 28, 1921, the Queenston-Chippawa Development (as it was known between 1922 and 1950) was the largest hydroelectric power station in the world. At the peak of construction more than 10,000 people worked on the project.
Ocean-going ships that have curved hulls to withstand ocean conditions with deeper drafts, they often only carry a partial load when sailing the Great Lakes.

Again another great tour and TOUR GUIDE!! Anthony was very helpful and understanding. When people amde a mistake by not listening to him - he would not get upset, but would turn around and help them to make sure they got all of there tour in (maybe out of order). We truely enjoyed the falls - it is worth going.
I had a very warm welcome from the tour guide and bus driver Johnny. He did an amazing job, very enthusiastic, knowledgeable and friendly. We had a great day learning lots of cool interesting facts along the way.
Fantastic tour , great knowledgeable guide. Lunch at the Sheraton Falls View was excellent. This was good value for money ... would absolutely recommend.
Thank you for your fantastic review! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and lunch, and that you found it great value for money. We truly appreciate the recommendation. Regards, Zoom Tours Team
My wife and I usually take a tour when we travel to someplace we haven't been before, so when we booked a trip to Toronto to visit Niagara Falls, we hired Zoom tours through Viator. Our tour guide was Johnny, and I'm not exaggerating when I say he's by far the best tour guide we've had - and we've had quite a few. He has an extensive knowledge of the area, including all the back roads and shortcuts that helped keep us from getting stuck in Toronto's considerable traffic. But that's not all: he's also a funny, engaging sort who kept everyone laughing through the whole trip to the falls and back. Makes sense, since he spent a couple of years singing and doing comedy on a cruise ship. But he's also extremely well-traveled, and can not only tell you the history of Toronto and its little-known fun facts, but pretty much every place else as well. We expected just another ho-hum tour, but we were treated to an entertaining and educational experience that turned out to be the high point of our trip. Now, when we're stuck in traffic, my wife and I ask, WWJD - What Would Johnny Do?
Thank you for such an incredible review! We’re thrilled Johnny made your Niagara Falls trip both entertaining and educational. We hope to welcome you on another Zoom Tours adventure soon. Warm regards, The Zoom Tours Team
Excellent experience, it’s surreal!!! Everyone should see this wonderful place!!! I already told my family to go & see this amazing place.
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled you had such an amazing experience and agree — Niagara Falls is truly a must-see. We love that you’re already recommending it to your family and hope to welcome you on another tour soon! Warm regards, The Zoom Tours Team
An unforgettable experience this tour and Johnny was the crowning glory! Perfectly timed, he also has the certain experience and contacts everywhere, knows the daily routines in Toronto and at Niagara Falls and responds appropriately to all unforeseen situations. Absolutely to recommend!!!
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that you had such an unforgettable experience and that Johnny’s expertise and professionalism made your tour so enjoyable. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you again soon! Warm regards, The Zoom Tours Team
Johnny was great and provided information about the areas we were visiting plus the areas we passed along our way which really helped pass the time during the long drives. We felt taken care of and like we were a priority. Learned a lot and enjoyed the sights.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the tour and that Johnny made the journey informative and enjoyable. We’re happy you felt well taken care of and hope to see you again soon!
There are several parts to this review in order for it to be fair and helpful. The booking process and communications is disjointed between Viator and Zoom. Viator advertises as tour pick up at the Revery Hotel. Less than 24 hours Zoom says they cant pick up at hotel due to construction..Too late to cancel and there was no construction or road closure schedule for this week. Viator sends a email the morning of the tour saying pick up is at hotel.. why are they not on the same page? Tour guide Johnny was very good however we spent too much time at the lake, flower clock and maple syrup tasting. I signed up for behind the falls tour and was talked out of it by the guide saying it would interfere with the walk to the boat ride and photo oppurtunities and departure time..why is this sold as an option when there is not enough time..The guide was correct but will I get a refund? The buffett was convienient and adequate but nithing was said about a soda being and extra charge. Guide did a good job getting us a half block from our hotel even though he was being told the roads were closed..They were not which I communicated to Zoom and Viator when the pick up point was changed. Organization and communications gets a 2. Tour guide gets a 4.5 Boat tour 5 Buffet 3 Other sites 3 Overall 3 Value 3
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding your pickup location. Thank you again for your honest review—it helps us improve. We hope to have the opportunity to serve you better next time. Best regards, The Zoom Tours Team
Great start, the tour is well paced and you can see everything and the stops along the way are crucial to see Niagara area. The falls are out of this world. Our Guide Gary is one of the best i ever seen, very helpfull, funny and always ready to help. Top Top.
Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed the tour and had a chance to take in the beauty of Niagara. Thanks for choosing Zoom Tours, and we hope to see you again soon! Best, The Zoom Tours Team
Our tour guide was good, courteous and funny. Niagara Falls is beautiful. I would say to the outsourced companies, pair your groups together that have the same bookings. It is stressful for the driver and guests when everyone’s tickets are different, people are having to wait for others to finish their excursions and the ones on the excursion feels rushed.
Thank you for your kind words! Hope to welcome you again with Zoom Tours! Best regards, The Zoom Tours Team
