Know before you go: The 'Niagara Mist': Because there is such a large volume of water flowing over the Falls, there is a constant mist in the air. The air is damp and you may get slightly wet even from the boardwalks. We recommend bringing a light jacket or extra layers.; Free Souvenirs: For those choosing to add the Hornblower Boat Cruise or Journey Behind the Falls, you will receive a complimentary rain poncho. This is yours to keep as a souvenir of your 'wet and wild' experience!; Pick-Up: Passengers will be picked up directly from their hotel lobby near the main doors.; Our Fleet: Please note that pickups may be conducted by the main Tour Bus or a King Courtesy Vehicle. If a courtesy vehicle picks you up, it will provide a seamless transfer to the main tour bus before we depart for Niagara.; Bus Access: Please note there is a high step-up to board and exit our tour vehicles.; There are hundreds of restaurants in Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake. We recommend that you decide on where to have lunch on the day of the tour.; Pro-Tip: We recommend choosing a 'quick lunch' option. This allows you more time for sightseeing and exploring the Falls!; Ask your Tour Guide: Our guides are locals and will provide excellent recommendations for the best quick bites or scenic spots based on your preferences.

Pick-Up From Toronto Pick-up from 65 Bremner Blvd, south entrance of Union Station at 8:30 AM. Niagara Falls The Tour Guide will drop you off at the "Brink of the Falls" where you will have 2-3 hours of free time to enjoy the incredible views of the all three waterfalls — the American, Bridal Veil and Horseshoe Falls. Should hunger strike along the way, there are a 100s of restaurants to choose from. Hornblower Boat Ride Experience the thundering power of Niagara Falls from the water! You will board the world-famous Niagara City Cruises boat for a 20-minute "Voyage to the Falls" that takes you on the journey of a lifetime. The catamaran sails past the American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls before heading straight into the heart of the massive Canadian Horseshoe Falls. You will feel the immense power and refreshing mist of the thundering water all around you. This is Optional. Journey Behind the Falls Experience the thunderous vibration of the Horseshoe Falls before you even see them. You will descend 125 feet by elevator through bedrock to explore 130-year-old tunnels carved into the rock. The tunnels lead to two outdoor observation decks and two "portals" located directly behind the massive sheet of falling water. This is a rare opportunity to stand at the heart of the Falls and witness one-fifth of the world’s fresh water crashing down right in front of you. This attraction is optional. Skylon Tower Get a true "bird's-eye view" of Niagara from the region's most famous landmark. You will ride in the signature glass-enclosed "Yellow Bug" elevators, gliding to the top in just 52 seconds. From the indoor and outdoor observation decks—located 775 feet above the Falls—you will enjoy a spectacular 360-degree panoramic view. You can see the American Falls, the Horseshoe Falls, the Niagara Wine District, and on clear days, even the skylines of Buffalo and Toronto. This attraction is optional. Maple Syrup Tasting Indulge in a true Canadian tradition with a stop at a local maple factory. You will enjoy a complimentary guided tasting of various grades of 100% pure Ontario maple syrup, learning how this "liquid gold" is harvested and produced. This 30-minute rest stop also features an expansive souvenir shop with local Canadian treats, artisan chocolates, and unique gifts. It’s the perfect place to stretch your legs and grab a quick coffee before we continue to the Falls. Seasonal Stops Enjoy a narrated drive along "the prettiest Sunday drive in the world." We will make brief photo stops at the world-famous Floral Clock (built with up to 16,000 bedding plants), the towering Queenston Heights Monument, and the mesmerizing Niagara Whirlpool, where the river turns 90 degrees in a violent vortex. Niagara-On-The-Lake During the morning portion of the tour we visit beautiful town of Niagara-on-the-Lake. Niagara-on-the-Lake is a picturesque town, often referred to as the loveliest town in Ontario. This region is rich with Canadian history, lush with flowers, trees, orchards, and vineyard. While in Niagara-on-the-Lake we will have 45 minute stop to stroll through the town, to take pictures, and sightseeing. We will also stop at a local winery and sample a free glass of local wine.
