I highly recommend this tour, the guide was amazing he had a wealth of knowledge and made the trip so much fun. We purchased the extra trip up the Skylon Tower from the guide for $15 and it was well worth it to get fantastic views from above. Niagara Falls was just breath taking but I do wish we had a little bit more time there as the boat trip probably takes up half of the visit because of queueing. Free water was provided during the day and biscuits before going on the boat trip. We took a packed lunch with us and I recommend this to save time at the 2 stops where you can buy food (there is no eating or drinking on the coach itself apart from the water provided) We enjoyed all the stops after the falls especially the maple syrup tasting tour and the beautiful village of Niagara on the Lake. We bought a coffee and pastry from the bakers and strolled down to the lake itself before visiting a few shops. It was the best day of our short time spent in Toronto

We arrived at the Aquarium Wich was the pick up spot and the bus driver opened the doors at exactly 7:45am. He was very friendly and asked us to show him our tickets. He gave us a red band to put around our neck so he would see at all times who is with his group. He also gave us vouchers for the boat ride or the skylon tower if they were included in our tickets. Then he started driving and talked a lot about Toronto and the Niagara falls and Canada in general. He also had a CD with Songs that he could play. We stopped at a few picture spots on the way to the falls. Also at a maple syrup place we're we could taste maple syrup for free. Then we arrived at the skylon tower and people who didn't have tickets yet could buy them from him. After we visited the tower we drove to the boat tour where people could buy tickets again from the bus driver if they hadn't included them yet in their ticket purchase. I did only the boat ride and it was amazing. You are so close to the Falls... After the boat tour (it's was 15 minutes) we had another 1,5 hour to explore the area by ourselves. After that we drove back to Toronto and arrived there at about 5:20pm. All in all the tour is totally worth the money and I really recommend it to everyone who wants to see the falls. Unfortunately I didn't had that good wether when I did this tour but nevertheless it was really nice. I recommend bringing a rain coats that is as long as your knees and waterproof shoes. But if you do the tour in the summer it's probably fine if you get a little bit wet on the boat. You get one of these rain ponchos before you enter the boat but my sleeves and legs got wet.

I've done day trips like this from other major cities around the world, and this honestly was one of the best. The guide was super knowledgeable, the bus was comfortable and air conditioned, there were cold water bottles available to us all day for no extra cost, and there was so much packed into one day. With the skylon Tower, boat ride at Niagara Falls, tons of stops for photos along the journey, and spending some time in the beautiful town of Niagara on the lake, this trip was well worth the money even with the add-ons and I highly highly recommend!!

I really can’t say that we enjoyed this tour. They make us leave super early from Toronto, at 07:45, for no good reason as we spent the whole morning stopping in random places, wasting time in an empty dead town, in a maple syrup tourist trap and so on. The driver would not stop talking the entire time, with the speakers of the bus on their max volume, spewing the most random facts for the entire drive, which seriously became overbearing and plain annoying, preventing us from catching up some sleep or listening to our own music.

At every stops, he would ask people to vote for how long we should stop, meaning if someone wanted to stop a hour somewhere random, we would stop as no one else would actually vote. Just have an itinerary and stick to it man! Then, once we finally made it to the falls, which are free to enter, they first makes us stop at the bloody viewing tower to make us pay tickets for seeing something that is normally free. Of course you don’t have to pay and go up, but the alternative of waiting for 1h in an overheated bus was worst.

Once we finally wade it to the falls, at 1pm, the glorious morning sun had gone, wasted on stupid useless stops along the way and the falls looked very sad under a thick cloud cover. To make it even better, our driver decided to stop here for 2h20! It’s -10C outside, it takes 10 mins to see the falls and take a picture, so we spent the next 1h10 waiting in the only warm place around, the super crowded and touristy rock table gift and souvenirs shop. Seriously the most depressing afternoon we spent in Canada.

I would not recommend this tour to anyone, hire a car or do it with public transports, it’s very expensive, will waste your entire day and you’ll get back to Toronto around 17:00, exhausted and feeling frustrated to have spent that much time waiting around. That tour could very easily be done in half a day without all the useless stops but I guess they have to justify the very steep ticket prices.

To readers - please take this review with a grain of salt. Note that the very next review after this one is from Jane L and she was on the same tour and rated the tour and driver as excellent 5 stars. There are so many errors in the statements from this reviewer. Firstly we never leave at 7:45am unless absolutely everyone on the bus arrives 15 minutes early to the departure point which almost never happens. Our departure time is 8:00am and we often leave 5-10 minutes late if people are late to the departure location. Secondly when you sign up for a guided tour with full commentary then you can expect the tour guide to give you information about the area and tour over the PA system while on route - sorry that it interrupted your ability to sleep or listen to your own music. Thirdly the Skylon Tower is an OPTIONAL PAID activity. It is not normally free. I dont know where you would ever get that idea from. Most people want to go up the tower but those people that dont want to go up the tower are offered to be taken to the Table Rock Area (or alternative viewing area) for viewing the falls close up which is a free experience. You are never made to wait in the bus for 1 hour. There is always a choice to go to a free viewing area instead of going up the Skylon Tower which is a small expense.

We had a great day on this trip and are so glad we booked it! Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and shared so much interesting information, we thought he was a really genuine person who seemed to love his job. The stops on the way to the falls were a great build up and the sky tower was worth the money, the views are spectacular. The falls itself were incredible, you get plenty of time to explore and have some food when you are there. Would highly recommend.

The trip started at the Toronto’s Ripley’s believe it or not aquarium. There were two tour vans that can fit about 20+ people. Our bus was full, which was not what was described in the posting on trip advisor. The van’s air conditioning did not work properly. It was extremely uncomfortable in the back of the van. I let the bus driver know at the first stop that it was hot as he made a pint to tell us that he was aware of the temperature differentiation between the front of the bus and the back of the bus. However, it didn’t improve at all. There were kids on the van int he back and they were visibly sweating along with the adults. The tour guide Ralph was speaking during the ride to the falls on the intercom, but we could barely hear him in the back. It was not a comfortable experience being on the van to or from the falls. The falls itself was beautiful and the boat ride on the hornblower to the falls was absolutely amazing. You don’t get misted, you get soaked by the way. The ponchos are absolutely pointless lol you will get wet and the idea is to walk it off in the hot sun afterwards. We were dried within an hour. It was nice that we got a chance to stop at other places like the smallest chapel and largest flower clock. It was great we had three hours of free time to eat and shop in Niagara. We also received 60 minutes to walk around Niagara on the lake and we were able to eat breakfast and make it back to the van in time. I would definitely recommend people do an excursion to Niagara if they have never been. However, I wouldn’t recommend going on a tour van packed with people, with poor air conditioning, and without a bathroom on board!

Hi there, on your tour date Ralph was driving a 45 passenger coach that was only 2 years old and had only 12,000km on the odometer. It wasn't a "van" as you describe it but rather a coach that was only a few years old. The air conditioning unit is mounted on the ceiling of the bus at the very back and it blows the cold air forward. So almost everyone on the bus was getting nice cold air except the back row where you were sitting. So the air conditioning unit was working perfectly fine - it is just the design of it doesn't give a lot of airflow in the back row and for that I apologize that you were uncomfortable on the journey. If you couldn't hear Ralph on the intercom then you can tell him that you can't hear him and he will turn up the volume so you can hear him clearly. We don't have bathroom on the buses but the driver will stop if anyone requires a bathroom on the drive to the falls which is typically around 90 minutes,

Got recommended this tour by a family we met on the train on the way to Toronto… they were right.

Picked up at 8am and dropped back at about 5:30pm. ~2hr trip to Niagara with a short stop just before to try some maple syrup and use rest rooms… there’s none that n the bus and none at the pick up point so be prepared!!!

Bus driver acted as tour guide as well and was great - Micko is his name - giving lots of facts about where we were and some local knowledge for getting about.

Niagara was… well, Niagara Falls and it didn’t disappoint. We wandered the length of the water front over our time there, stopping for lunch along the way.

We didn’t do the Skylon or the boat trip… but if you want to you need cash to buy discounted tickets from the driver for these.

The trip to Niagara on the Lake is beautiful with a couple of stops on the way… flower clock, small chapel, whirlpool viewpoint.

Niagara on the Lake itself is picture postcard with shops to browse but you need to be quick.

Over all, very happy with the day and the value for money. We’d thought about doing the trip by ourselves by train but this was much less hassle and got the tour guide info as well… we think that’s a win.

What a fantastically organised way to see Niagara Falls.

Driver Mel took great pride in making sure that we set out on time and safely from the CN Tower and that we could see and hear all the touristy details on the way to Niagara Falls.

The first official stop is at the Skylon Tower which we'd seen before. So if like us you're not prepared to pay a bit extra to go up the tower, treat it as your chance for an hour's morning refreshment stop. To his credit Mel did offer to drive us to Niagara Falls ahead of the rest of the group but we chose to stay with everyone else and wait a bit.
We had two hours at the Falls. In winter that's plenty. I can see how some may enjoy more time in the summer as per some other reviews (but I suspect that most tourists would start getting bored and would be exhausted with a longer day).

A stopover at the Maple Leaf gift shop is a good chance to pick up some maple syrup which is made on site. Some further quick stops to photograph some botanical and technical sites. The final substantial stop is the Niagara on the Lake main street with tonnes of cool shops. It's only an hour. So choose two or three shops carefully.

The ride back to Toronto was largely quiet giving passengers a chance to sleep.

Throughout the trip Mel did a great job of explaining the cultural and natural history of the area, dropped some quiz questions and jokes. You could also see him try to keep the vehicle temperature and radio levels acceptable to the passengers. Mel was very earnest in making sure that passengers were happy.

I would definitely be considering this tour operator again if we wanted to visit Niagara Falls.

If you’re lucky enough to have Michael as your tour guide, then you’re in good hands. He’s really entertaining and makes the rather long journey fun! He’s a real character and very knowledgeable too. From Toronto to Niagara Falls is at least 1.5hr journey and has to encompass some rush hour time, however the coach is comfortable and you can have a doze. We’d only arrived from the UK the night before and because we’re familiar with the jet lag process, we knew we’d be awake around 5:00am, so booking the early start wasn’t an issue. We stopped en route at Walkers Market where fruits, jams, drinks, snacks and bathroom stop was available all running along the lake to the Falls. We drove through the parkway where you can see some amazing properties and once we reached our destination the view of the Falls was indeed as expected, a sight to behold. A natural phenomenon in its magnificence. The booming sound of the turquoise green water falling over it’s crest into the wider ravine below is awesome and the hornblower cruise is an extra that gives you the chance to get up close and personal with the Falls in a way you can’t from the viewpoints above. The only reason I gave 4/5 and not 5/5 is because there’s a lot of time spent on the coach but I guess it depends on where you’re staying and that will reflect the price you pay. We had a great day and were well ready for an early night to catch up on sleep by then! A must do. 👍🏻😃

Our family of 4 just did the tour and we had an amazing time. The Hornblower boat cruise into the falls was the highlight of the trip and did not disappoint! We got soaked in the misty falls but had enough to dry off at the Niagra brewery which had one of the best charcuterie boards and baked pretzels. Micko was great. He had some humorous comments, interesting information for all the areas along the way including Toronto and several recommendations including price points at each stop (which was helpful). The bus was comfortable with AC and we had plenty of leg room and storage for our bags. We never would have considered visiting Niagra on the lake of it weren’t for this tour but want to definitely come back to this cute little town/village. Would highly recommend the tour.
