Everything was amazing. Thanks to Adam our brilliant tour guide we saw all highlights what was possible and got information about some places what we were passing through during the trip. I’m happy to choose especially this tour as we were able to see Niagara Falls both in daylight and night 🤩 And still we catch the Christmas lights with amazing Fireworks 🎆 at the end of the tour. It was a wonderful experience thank you 🙏
Adam Nice, our guide was an absolute gem ! Our ride to the Falls was smooth and the stops along the way were interesting.

Full description
Skip Toronto's rush hour traffic and join a guided tour of Niagara Falls in the day and evening. The tour is from around 12:30 PM until around 10:30 to 11:30 PM (the exact time varies by season). Join the tour from one of twelve pick-up points in Downtown Toronto and Mississauga. All pick-up locations are directly on the route to the highway, so you won't waste time driving in the city. It will be a 2-hour drive in an air-conditioned minibus to Niagara Falls. A licensed tour guide will entertain you with intriguing historical insights and local stories.
Make photo visits on the way to Niagara Falls which might include the Niagara Whirlpool, a maple syrup tasting experience, the Niagara Hydroelectric Power Stations, or other scenic locations along the Niagara River.
Select the basic tour package and enjoy 4 hours of free time to discover the waterfalls on your own, visit the "entertainment district" of Clifton Hill and all of its activities, and have dinner at one of many local-themed restaurants.
Select the "Attractions Package" to enjoy skip-the-line entry tickets for the Hornblower Boat Cruise and Journey Behind the Falls. When the boat cruise is closed in the winter (around December 2 to May 15), it is replaced with the famous Skylon Tower.
The "All Inclusive" package includes the Hornblower Boat Cruise and Journey Behind the Falls, along with a 3-course dinner overlooking the waterfalls and an exclusive tour of Illumination Tower, where you will be able to press the buttons that control the colours of the waterfall illumination.
From May 17 to October 14, the tour includes a stunning fireworks show over the falls. From November 16 to January 5, there will be a guided tour of the "Winter Festival of Lights", a massive light show with dozens of displays made up of millions of lights.
Your extraordinary day at Niagara Falls wraps up with a leisurely return to Toronto, which takes around 1.5 hours.
