About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- 129waynep0 contributionsWonderfulOur day tour was fantastic to Niagara Falls. Our bus driver was funny and welcoming. He made us all feel welcome and helpful throughout the tour. Even though the weather was rainy if didn’t detract from the great day.Written November 10, 2024
- 456allief0 contributions10/10 best tour everThis is truly an amazing tour of Niagara Falls the views were breathtaking, food was great, the boat ride is 100% worth it truly the best way to view the falls (you will get wet). The Ice wine from the wine tasting was delicious and Niagara on the lake is straight out of a hallmark movie. The best part of this tour though was our tour guides. Nikki was so kind and amazing and truly made my trip. She has such a positive attitude and knows so much about the area. Honestly the trip is worth it just to spend the day with her.Written November 7, 2024
- brvblkbrd0 contributionsI'm Falling for Niagara!This was an epic day-long journey from Toronto to Niagara Falls filled with so many beautiful photo opportunities so be sure to bring your camera. Our driver/guide, Chafin, was awesome and provided history, stories, and humor along the way. I recommend bringing an extra pair of socks for the Niagara Falls boat portion because your pants, socks and shoes from the knees down will get wet. But it's totally worth it!Written November 4, 2024
- didic1980 contributionsVery Accommodating teamEven though I missed the email from TBCL and went to another pickup address, they waited for me after I had reached out to the team to notify them that I didn’t realize that the pickup address was a different location. The wait was unexpected but I sincerely appreciated it because I had gone to another location following the information from Expedia and would have felt bad if I missed the trip. The overall experience was amazing.Written November 3, 2024

- PaulaB38480 contributionsGreat day outA fantastic day out that was well worth the money. Our day started at a pick up near our accommodation at 9.10 and was jam packed full of information. Our guide, Shaf was friendly and very knowledgeable and talked throughout most of the journey with lots of interesting facts. The winery stop was an opportunity to try some local wines and have a talk on how they were made. Prices to buy, were also reasonable too. Next stop was the main event and Wow, Niagara was amazing. Lunch overlooked the falls - great food and what a view. We then had some free time to explore before we headed on the hornblower cruise - be prepared to get wet and enjoy the ride. After leaving Niagara we were fortunate enough to stop at a few extra places and then to Niagara on the lake. By then it was late afternoon so only had an hour here, and could easily have spent a day. Got back to Toronto at 7.30. Great day for all.Written October 29, 2024
- wcbobb0 contributionsWonderful Tour of the falls and area.Shafin our great driver and tour guide made the trip extra special. Lots of fun stops and sites to see. Fun wine tour. Lunch stop had stellar views of the falls.Written October 28, 2024
- mykals20190 contributionsFun Day TripWe did this tour the last week of October. I highly recommend! It was not during peak season so there were no lines and we didn’t feel rushed (like mentioned in other reviews) The bus was late picking us up however because it wasn’t a popular tourist time it didn’t cut into our time at the Falls. We even got an additional stop at the Whirlpool which was beautiful. Joe P was a great guide! Do not plan to be back before 8pm! It is truly a full day :)Written October 27, 2024
- kathleeno480 contributionsGreat tour, don’t book lunchA wonderful day out! However, do not book lunch at Table Rock House restaurant!!!! The service was terrible! Really slow and it seriously cut into our free time at Niagara. So much so we left before desert was served. Our tour guide Shaf was superb and he and the bus driver did everything to make sure we enjoyed the trip. A very entertaining day overall with numerous activities and we felt very well informed by the end! Maybe a little more time in Niagara on the Lake would have been nice.Written October 26, 2024
- L6329IEalyssah0 contributionsMediocreWhile the wine tasting was good, the lunch was underwhelming, unseasoned, and undercooked. We completely enjoyed the Niagara tour section.Written October 20, 2024
- Amanda P0 contributionsIf you want to see a lot, quicklyWe thought the tour was great but also felt very rushed. The tour operator did a great job, he talked the whole way to the Falls- but it was very hard to hear him. The wine tasting was very rushed. We got to sample a white, rosé & ice wine. The vineyard was beautiful. Lunch was ok. The Falls were incredible to see up close. On the way back we stopped at Niagara on the Lake & it was a super cute town, but again felt very rushed & the town was packed. 25- 40 min wait for coffee, ice cream etc. So you basically just get a little sneak peak at the area and don’t really get a chance to experience it.Written October 20, 2024
- elizabetht7240 contributionsThe Most Amazing Autumn Day Trip to Niagara FallsThe beautiful Autumn trip to Niagara Falls checked off one of the bucket list items for my Aunt. I has done the tours before, but this was a new experience. Chaff, our guide and driver, shared amusing stories while visiting Niagara College winery, lunch with a view of Falls, the boat trip, a couple of surprise stops, Niagara on the Lake, and finally back to Toronto. We moved without feeling rushed. It was a wonderful day trip.Written October 20, 2024
- Sunshine6159140 contributionsYou get alot for the price!A long day packed with lots to see and do... The Winery stop was brief (30 mins) and a surprise as it was the first stop around 11.15am. Couldn't fault the lunch venue as the views over The Falls were spectacular. We had a clear bluesky day! The lunch was pretty average. Hilight was the boat trip. Incredible experience and photographs. Time is tight and the 'bonus' stop at the maple n chocolate stop on the way to Niagara on the Lake, felt a bit contrived suiting the guide. Niagara on the Lake is a beautiful last stop before heading back to Toronto. Traffic meant that we reached our drop off point at 19:40. This tour packs a lot into day and I would recommend it for the money. Tour guide and driver were kind and attentive.Written October 18, 2024
- Nikki M0 contributionsA long day but well worth it.This was a 'relatively' expensive excursion.... There were 3 adults which came to about £320.00, however it was worth it. Bus to and from with a stop at a winery, Niagara falls including boat to the falls with restaurant and dinner stop, and finally at Niagara on the lake. It was a long day but excellent. Adding up the individual components it was value for money!Written October 16, 2024
- abdulrT7838LO0 contributionsamazing trip.The tour guide Alwyn is really a nice guy, friendly, polite and sociable. The driver Will is also very friendly, interactive and always support the tour guide. Nice collab between Alwyn and Will. My family really enjoy the trip today especially the boat cruise.Written October 16, 2024

The trip itself was ok. While being a good value, the trip description didn’t meet the actual events. A better description would be, tag along with others from another booking and watch what they do, oh and you’ll have a few minutes at a wine tasting at a teaching college. The description: enjoy Niagara Falls at your own pace, then enjoy a wine tasting at Niagara on the lake. Reality: we stopped at a wine college on our way to Niagara and spent 30 minutes there, of which maybe 10 minutes was tasting. Then back on the bus to head to the falls. Arrived at falls and were given 40 minutes to explore and buy anything we might want. Then back on the bus to drive to the point we had just walked back from so the other group could go to their included lunch. We had an hour and a half to find our own lunch, then meet back to get back on the bus. Back on the bus to drive through town and then arrive 300 yards from where we boarded the bus so those from the other tour could take their boat ride. We were give an hour and a half to explore the rest of the tourist area. Back on the bus, so we could take 3 people who asked about the helicopter tours (not listed on either group’s itinerary) and delay going to our next stop by 45 minutes. Finally arrived at Niagara on the lake but informed that the shuttle had stopped, since we were off schedule, but we could walk into town. We were give one hour. By the end of the day we were gone for 11 hours for what amounted to approximately 20 minutes to wine taste/see a small vineyard, 30 minutes looking at the falls, an hour at lunch, an hour to explore the tourist area, and 30 minutes to explore Niagara on the lake.

Thank you for your review. We are disappointed to hear that you were not satisfied with your experience. The tour allows guests to enjoy a wide variety of excursions. It is well organized, efficient, and ensures that guests can maximize their time during their stay. Perhaps you would be more satisfied with a small group excursion that is more individualized. Feel free to reach out to us in the future and we can arrange for a day that better suits your expectations.

Alwyn our tour guide was excellent he gave lot's of interesting information and facts about the area..Niagara Falls was amazing and the Hornblower boat trip an exhilarating and amazing experience to be remembered.
We were due to be picked up.at 9:45 am but did not get picked up until 10:15am . No explanation or apology was given.
Due to some passengers returning late to the bus our stop at Niagara on the the lake was very short and rushed just enough time to walk up the high street and get an ice cream. We would have preferred to have had more time at Niagra Falls and Niagra on the Lake than to.slow down to view the whirl pool which was hardly visible and stop to take pictures of the Flower Clock. The wine tasting stop was more of a sales pitch than a wine tasting experience. The Niagra Falls and Niagra on the Lake in the time allòwed would be a.great trip. Maybe leave earlier and have less stops to enjoy the fantastic experience at Niagra Falls. However, we had a great day thank you.

This was a well done tour to Niagra Falls with a short stop for wine tasting and to Niagra on the Lake. The wine tasting was a bit rushed and felt a lot like when you are on those European tours; get them in get & out so the next tour can come in. That said, the staff was friendly & the grounds were lovely. There is a lot of time spent at the Falls, lunch was at a restaurant just across the street with a great view. The Falls are spectacular! Final stop was Niagra on the Lake, a quaint town with cute shops and eateries, a place I'll return to spend more time. We only had about an hour there and the weather didn't cooperate much. All in all, though traveling alone I felt very comfortable and welcome. I met some lovely fellow travelers. The bus was comfortable and the guide was helpful but not overbearing so you felt at ease to explore and take everything in.

A great day seeing Niagra with the added bonus of stopping at Niagra on the Lake and Niagra College Winery.
We were picked up by the coach at 9:30am from the Royal York Hotel with Frank as our driver and Alwyn our guide, who provided a world of knowledge and facts along the journey our first stop was the Niagra College Winery where we tasted three different wines while provided with details of the how they were made, with the option to purchase (we took this opportunity) the next stop was Table Top Niagra Falls for some amazing photos, we didn’t choose the option of lunch or the boat ride on the tour, so had extra time to explore Table Top and grab some lunch of our own. Our final stop of the day was at Niagra on the Lake very picturesque with everywhere immaculate, almost like being on a movie set, nice to look round. We returned back to Toronto at around 7:30pm, a great day, very tiring but we would definitely recommend.

This really was a magical day out for us. Myself and my partner rated this as one of our favourite experiences during our time in Toronto and perhaps from our trip to Canada overall. Our guide, Sabi was so attentive, personable, funny and kind. Being from Toronto himself, he provided such insight and interesting information as well as impeccable driving skills in tough traffic conditions. This really was a bucket list moment that we won't forget.

Our driver Ryan and our tourist guide David made our trip wonderful, David know all the good stories and include interesting facts about the locations, they make sure that we all enjoy the general trip and every stop. Totally worthy trip, Niagara Falls are amazing, the boat cruise has a very positive value per price. Don't miss the chance to visit them from the Canadian side.

Great trip for an excellent price! The bus was a full-size touring bus, clean and very comfortable. Travel guide and bus driver were very nice and super helpful. The bus arrived on time and stayed on schedule for the entire day. We were picked up around 9:15 am, and we returned back to the hotel shortly after 8:00 pm. WELL worth the price! The only downside to the trip was having the tour we booked on the same bus as the adventure tour that included helicopter flights and a stop at local gift store to sample maple syrup. The trip we booked did not include these additional stops, and we spent aprx. 1.5 hours waiting for the helicopter tours to return. We would have preferred the different tours be scheduled on separate buses, allowing for less time at Niagra Falls and more time at Niagra On The Lake and at the winery. If transportation can not be arranged separately, I would suggest revising the tour description so guests will be notified of the additional stops with the associated wait times. Overall, this was a great trip, and we would definitely recommend it to other travelers. I'm not sure this would be a good trip for people traveling with young children because of the length of time spent on the bus. Thank you for a great day.

This trip was great from beginning to end. It had a wine tasting, a maple syrup tasting, Niagara Falls, the rapids and a stop at one of the prettiest places, Niagara on the lake. Wayne was out driver, very knowledgeable, funny, friendly and helpful. Was worth every penny. Would highly recommend.

As a Toronto local who doesn't drive this trip is such a great way to get to the Niagara region with such ease and convenience. The organization was neat and our guide Anne and driver Marianne were sweet and professional.
One thing is I wish we had a longer time (2 hours) to stay in Niagara on the lake instead just a short hour
Overall a great trip, highly recommend to anyone who wants to experience Niagara region but has no clue what and where to go

There were a few people on the bus I took who decided to stay at a hotel, Sheraton, if I remember correctly. They just informed our driver that they would not be getting back on to go back to Toronto. I did leave a small bag on the bus, along with many others. who did not wish to lug anything around with them while we did our tour. The driver informed us that the bus would be locked up but were not responsible for any missing items if we chose to leave anything behind.
