Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto with Boat Cruise and Lunch
Description
Experience the world-famous Niagara Falls on a full-day tour from Toronto.

After the cruise, enjoy approximately two hours of free time to explore the area and nearby attractions. Then, sit down to an included lunch overlooking the Falls, soaking in spectacular views while you dine. Following lunch, continue along the scenic Niagara Parkway to view the powerful Niagara Whirlpool, then visit the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and stop at Maple Leaf Place for a maple syrup tasting experience before returning to Toronto.

I had the best time on our Gray Line Niagara Falls tour! As a fellow Alex, I might be biased, but our guide Alex was absolutely amazing. She made the history come alive through wonderful storytelling, and kept everyone smiling with some very well-timed puns. Samir, our driver, kept us moving safely and smoothly from start to finish. Highly recommend this Gray Line tour!
Great tour with the best tour guide and the driver. We came back on time. 10/10!!!

Very well organised, on time, fantastic guide and interesting information provided. Only negative was the lunch as it was pretty poor in terms of quality.

Lunch was ok, not brilliant, but the organisation and information provided by the rep on the bus was first rate. Obviously very knowledgeable but not pushy as some reps are....a credit to the company by making the right comments at the right time. Information on the boat trip and what to expect was spot on especially the advance notice of where to stand.

Had a great day exploring Niagara Falls and surrounding areas. Both Alex and the driver were great! Niagara Falls boat ride is a great experience that you have to do (you do get very wet) and the view from lunch was stunning. The final stop at Niagara on the lake was maybe a little on short side, wonderful place but not much time to stop and take it in at its full potential All in all a great day trip we would recommend anyone to take!
