Highlighted reviews from other travelers
I can just recommend this activity. The Niagara Falls was amazing, so huge, beautiful, and lucky us it was sunny. I hope you will have Afshin as guide. He took care of all of us, bring us to the different activities and explained us good stories about Canada/Niagara falls/Toronto. He even took his time to record a video of my friend and I when we did the Helicoptere tour, that we really appreciate. I wish all guides were like him when we go on excursions. It’s 100% worse it
Our tour guide Bernard, was excellent. He was very knowledgeable and the information was delivered in a clear and concise way. He has a very difficult job coping with the multiple different needs of the passengers - some doing this activity, others doing that activity etc. With that in mind, listen carefully for the pick up and drop off information. The coach was comfortable (ours developed a fault with the A/C and was seamlessly exchanged for a new coach). The journey can be quite long coming home depending on traffic but that is nothing to do with the tour operator - that's just Toronto traffic! I would highly recommend this tour. We did the helicopter, Journey behind the falls and the Hornblower boat into the mist. The whole day was an amazing experience.

Full description
Begin your tour with a morning departure from Toronto and travel to Niagara Falls in a comfortable, air-conditioned coach. Admire the scenic views as you make your way to the falls, and enjoy fun, historical commentary along the way.
Travel along the scenic Niagara Parkway, towards Niagara-on-the-Lake, to your first stop : Niagara Parks' famous Floral Clock. Measuring 40 feet in diameter, the face of the Floral Clock is filled with as much as 16,000 carpet plants and colourful annuals, including alternanthera, santolina and privet
Next, continue down to view the Niagara Whirlpool Rapids. The Niagara Whirlpool is formed at the end of the rapids where the gorge abruptly turns counterclockwise. The river’s abrupt change of direction creates one of the world’s most mesmerizing natural phenomena.
Afterwards, head to Maple Leaf Place to taste delicious, locally made, maple syrup and fudge. Optionally, you can join in for an ice wine tasting ($14 per person). PS : You can also opt to skip this stop and head directly to the Falls for some extra free time.
Now, it's time for the main event. Get ready to witness the awe-inspiring power and beauty of the falls from various vantage points. Start by boarding the iconic Hornblower Cruise for a thrilling close-up view of the falls and to feel its thunderous power and mist.
Please note, in the winter months (approximately Dec. 1 - May 7th), the Hornblower Cruise is closed and replaced by either the Skylon Tower, Butterfly Conservatory, or Niagara Parks Power Station.
Next, you will descend 125 feet through bedrock to tunnels that will overlook the magic of experiencing the Horseshoe Falls from directly underneath the cascading power above at the famous Journey Behind the Falls.
Finally, enjoy free time to explore Niagara Falls at your leisure. Grab lunch, walk down Clifton Hill, or simply relax and enjoy the spectacular views.
