I like how Viator arrange our day, with a properly packed schedule. Although I would have liked to stop by the flower clock, and the butterfly hub to take some pictures
Comfortable transportation and enough time to look around and enjoy the views of the falls.
We had a great time with Queen Tours to see Niagara Falls from Toronto. Our guide, Cathie, gave lots of interesting info about Canada and the surrounding region. The pickup and dropoff was timely, and gave us flexibility to explore on our own.
Thank you for sharing this with us! We’re glad Cathie added to the day with her stories and knowledge, and that the smooth pickup and drop-off gave you the freedom to enjoy Niagara at your own pace! 😊
We really enjoyed our trip to Niagara. We opted for the boat and behind the falls package, which was very good value. Marian was a great guide and was very informative. The only issue is that I would have liked a little longer after the boat trip to have lunch and to explore the area. I thoroughly recommend the tour!
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the boat and Journey Behind the Falls and that Marian made the day enjoyable with her knowledge and guidance. We also appreciate the feedback about the time after the cruise! 🇨🇦
Queen Tour Niagara Falls Tours is awesome. Highly recommend it. Cari (the tour guide) is the best, knowledgeable and funny. Safe, family fun.
Thank you for the kind words and recommendation! We’re so glad Cari made the day fun and enjoyable for your family! 😊
We had a great experience on the 16th August 2026 at Niagara Falls with Steven as the tour guide. I like his sense of humour and knowledge about Niagara Falls. Excellent driver as well, I think his name is Andrew This is my second trip with TripAdvisor and I can say that I enjoyed it.
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience! We’re glad Steven’s humour and knowledge made the day even more enjoyable! 😊
It was a great trip! Our guide Steven was great! He gave us some fun facts about the city, recommendations, and kept everyone organized throughout the day. The cruise option is completely necessary. It was so much fun and cool being close to the falls. I would stay journey behind the falls is not as necessary and skippable. Views from the top were just as amazing. Overall, great tour! Highly recommend booking for an organized and chill Niagara Falls day.
Thank you so much for sharing, Jennifer! It sounds like Steven struck a great balance between keeping everyone on track and making the day fun, and we’re happy the boat cruise was a highlight for you! ☺️
This is a fun and very worthwhile day-tour of the Canadian Niagra Fall leaving from downtown Toronto. The motor coach was very clean and expertly driven by Ray. Our tour guide, Steven, was excellent—his knowledge of Toronto, Niagra Falls, and the surrounding area is vast, he is very well-spoken and easy to understand, plus he has an great sense of humor. A fun and exciting day from start to finish. Thank you, Queen Tours!
Thank you so much for your review! We’re glad Ray and Steven made the day such a great experience, and it’s lovely to hear that Steven’s knowledge and sense of humour added to the trip! 😊
We had a fantastic trip with Cari. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and we were well looked after throughout. Was definitely worth paying for the hornblower and journey behind the falls. Both amazing experiences with added bonus of skipping a few lines! Would 100% recommend.
Sounds like Cari took great care of you from beginning to end! We’re glad you enjoyed both Journey Behind The Falls and the boat cruise, and that having the tickets arranged helped you skip some of the lines. Thanks for the 100% recommendation 😊
Andrew was an excellent guide. Made sure we got in as much as possible, which was great. Would recommend him. Personable and good stories!
Thank you for your feedback and recommendation of Andrew! We’re glad he helped you make the most of your day and that his stories added to the experience! 🇨🇦
