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. They make up approx. 20% of Canal Traffic.It takes 9.4 million litres of water to fill a lock. No pumps are needed, it's all done thanks to gravity.
Your day trip from Toronto to Niagara Falls includes a visit to the Living Water Wayside Chapel - the smallest chapel in the world.
Drive through Niagara Parks' Botanical Gardens which is located on the scenic Niagara Parkway and the Great Gorge, just a 10 minute drive north of the Niagara Falls. This beautiful garden setting is home to the Butterfly conservatory and serves as the unique outdoor classroom for students attending the Niagara Parks School of Horticulture.
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)

Our guide and driver, Edmond and Alp, were super friendly and helpful. The bus was comfortable. Lots of opportunities for souvenir shopping and picture opportunities. Plenty of free time for exploring too.

Very good guide Anthony and the falls are wonderful. However this trip was two hours too long for us with stops on the route home that just prolonged the day unnecessarily. We would have preferred to come straight back to Toronto.
Thank you for sharing your feedback! We’re pleased to hear that Anthony was a very good guide and that you enjoyed the beauty of Niagara Falls. We also appreciate your comments regarding the overall tour length and the additional stops on the return journey. We understand that after a full day of sightseeing, some guests may prefer a more direct return to Toronto, and we’ll keep this feedback in mind as we continue reviewing our tour experience. Thank you for choosing Zoom Tours, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! Hussain Manager, Zoom Tours
Very comfortable bus trip from Toronto leaving at 8am and a good guide of the Falls. Enjoyed it very much and would recommend

Great all day experience. Get the lunch. Was traveling with 3 teenagers and they had a blast. The town and extra stops are good too.
Thank you for the great review! We’re so glad you and your teenagers had such a fun full-day experience and enjoyed the lunch, Niagara-on-the-Lake, and the additional sightseeing stops. It’s wonderful to hear the whole family had a blast. Thank you for choosing Zoom Tours, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! Hussain Manager, Zoom Tours
The experience was terrible; we booked a tour that included a visit to the falls, lunch "with a view of the falls," additional visits including Living Water Wayside Chapel, and a strategic stop at the power plant. The tour started late, and from there we delayed looking for the rest of the tour passengers. The first thing they told us was that the tour would take 10 to 12 hours when the site says it is 9 hours. Then, when we finally arrived at our destination, close to noon (when the distance is 1:30), they took another 40 minutes to get the tickets for the boat ride, and after we did the ride, they did not take us to any other place because they left with another group that had made reservations for other attractions. When they took us to the famous lunch (2:30 PM), the hotel had already closed the lunch hour. After a while, they let us serve ourselves from what was left over from lunch, and they made us sit in an area that faced away from the view of the falls. And after all that... they did not take us to any other place. They left us waiting again for 2 hours at the meeting point to continue what we thought was the tour, only to find out that we were going back to Toronto. In conclusion, we spent 12 hours in a car, to do a 20-minute tour on a boat, eat what was left over from a lunch (without the right to sodas or soft drinks), and that was it. I do not recommend it at all; the operator was Zoom Tours, and the only redeeming quality was that the guide was a kind gentleman.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize that your Niagara Falls tour did not operate according to the itinerary you booked and that so much of your day was spent waiting rather than enjoying the attractions. We understand your frustration regarding the late departure, extended tour duration, delay obtaining boat tickets, missed sightseeing stops, and the lengthy waiting periods while other guests participated in different attractions. We are also very sorry about your lunch experience. Arriving after the regular lunch service, receiving limited remaining selections, and not receiving the Falls-view dining experience you expected is certainly disappointing. A full-day Niagara Falls tour should provide guests with the experiences and stops advertised, along with clear communication throughout the day. We will be reviewing the operation of this tour, including scheduling, attraction coordination, meal timing, and communication between our guide and operations team. We appreciate your kind words about the guide despite the difficulties you experienced. We sincerely regret that the overall tour fell short of expectations and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with a much better and properly organized Niagara Falls experience.

This tour has the potential to be great. First, I want to recognize our tour guide, Anthony. He was fantastic—knowledgeable, friendly, and organized throughout the trip. Give him a raise! A few suggestions regarding the tour experience: 1. Lunch at the Sheraton – I was not very impressed with the lunch. The food was average, and there were limited options available. The seating arrangement was also uncomfortable, as guests were required to sit very closely with strangers. Additionally, some of the Sheraton staff came across as rude, which detracted from the experience. 2. Bus Restroom Issues – The restroom on the bus was not functioning properly, as the toilet would not flush. By the end of the tour, there was a noticeable urine odor throughout that area of the bus. 3. Delayed Pickup Time – My scheduled pickup time was 8:15 AM, but the bus did not arrive until around 9:00 AM. This delay caused the tour to run later than expected and impacted the overall schedule for the day. With a few improvements in these areas, I believe this tour could easily earn 4 out of 5 stars. At the moment, however, I would rate it as average.
Thank you for taking the time to share such thoughtful and detailed feedback. We’re very pleased to hear that Anthony was fantastic, knowledgeable, friendly, and well organized throughout the day. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We’re sorry, however, that several other aspects of the tour did not meet expectations. Your comments regarding the quality and seating arrangement of the Sheraton lunch, the condition of the onboard restroom, and the delayed pickup are all important concerns that we will review with our operations team and service partners. A delay of that length can affect the entire day’s schedule, and we understand how the combination of these issues impacted your overall experience. We truly appreciate your constructive feedback and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with the experience this tour is capable of delivering.

Due to miscommunications and lack of clarity, I would not recommend a large group tour. 1) 8 hours before departure, we were told to meet at a different location than the one we requested 2) We opted for the included lunch. After we finished the boat tour, we only had 20 minutes to eat before the buffet closed down. About ten of us were eating as the restaurant was closing down around us. 3) 4 people were delayed because they opted for an add on excursion. That meant all of us were delayed 1.5 hours leaving Niagara Falls. Without explanation, our tour guide opted to cancel the Niagara on the Lake portion of the trip.
Hi, We apologize for the inconvenience to you on the tour. Due to FIFA some roads are closed in the city and we asked to meet at pickup point to make it easy for every one. The day you went on the Tour was one of busy day at the Falls and it was delay in Boat and Journey. We wanted to make sure everyone gets back to Toronto, we dont want to leave anyone alone, it was little delay but we got back all of you safely and we provided luxury coach bus transportation for the tour. Hope you understand and we will make sure that this will not happen again. Don
