Get a head start on your Niagara Falls adventure—and beat rush-hour traffic with an early morning pickup from select downtown Toronto hotels—on this full-day tour.
An early arrival time at Niagara Falls ensures you miss the afternoon crowds. Enjoy a few hours of free time to explore the Falls at your own pace. Add-on skip-the-line-tickets for the Niagara City Cruises boat tour (summer only and if option selected).
Lunch can be purchased at a local restaurant or you are able to pack a lunch and have a picnic by the falls.
Continue on a scenic ride along the Niagara Parkway. Your guide brings you to landmarks that visitors to the area often miss. Then, stop at a local food business to sample maple and fudge products on the way back.
End your tour back at your original departure point.
Skip the line boat: The boat cruise is usually available from May to October, but exact dates are weather dependent and out of our control.
Lunch: Not included in this option
Boat/Journey Behind the Falls: The boat cruise is out of the water during winter months, with start and end dates dependent on weather conditions.
This tour gives you 3 hours of free time in Niagara Falls, more than any other tour! This includes time for sightseeing at the Horseshoe Falls, attractions, the Clifton Hill strip and lunch. In the summer you can add the Hornblower boat ride, a cruise that takes you deep into the heart of the Niagara Gorge and takes you right into the mist of the Horseshoe waterfalls. In the winter we make a special itinerary that includes the options of one or both of the Journey Behind the Falls or Niagara's Fury attractions. Journey Behind the Falls lets you experience the 130-year-old tunnels beneath the bedrock of the Falls and get a once-in-a-lifetime view of one-fifth of the world’s freshwater crashing down in front of you. With Niagara's Fury, you'll step inside a 4D motion theatre and discover the ancient story of Niagara Falls in this multi-sensory simulation of the last Ice Age. The temperature will drop, mist and snow will fall and you’ll be surrounded by visuals of the Niagara River.
If you'd like, as part of your free time in Niagara Falls, you will be able to visit the famous Clifton Hill strip. There are many shops, restaurants and activities in Clifton Hill. These include the Niagara SkyWheel, Movieland Wax Museum (Fri – Sun), Ripley’s Believe it Or Not (Sat and Sun), Dinosaur Adventure Golf and the Great Canadian Midway.
Take photos at the famous floral clock, an iconic and Instagram-worthy landmark of Niagara Falls (seasonal).
