    The tour provides a quick and practical way to see some of Toronto’s most iconic landmarks, such as the CN Tower and the Distillery District. It also includes a very relaxing and interesting boat ride along the shores of Lake Ontario to admire the city skyline.

    Our guide was extremely punctual and friendly. He explained everything we needed to feel connected to Toronto and even offered additional suggestions to enhance our visit to the city.

    Had best time on this tour. Early pickup from hotel lobby meant early arrival in Niagara Falls. Fancy but smaller tourist van meant we were comfortable, could actually interact with the guide and other guests. We basically had 'skip the line' access to Behind the Falls, the Skylon Tower and Boat Ride - - amazing. It was a beautiful day, so all our pictures are gorgeous. Behind The Falls was such a special treat and angle to view the falls. The Skylon Tower had spectacular views of the entire falls area. And the Boat Ride was unexpectedly 'up close' and 'wet'. I knew we would get misted on - but it was super watery and hard to keep eyes open as we rode into the circle of the falls. It was everything. This was our first visit to Niagara Falls and this tour really hit every highlight. We also had some free time to walk around/catch lunch. Our tour guide, Ryan, was super knowledgeable and provided great tips to ensure we experienced everything we wanted to during our visit. Highly recommend this tour - and Trip Shepherd in general. We also took other smaller tours with them in Toronto - and they were terrific. Merci from Maryland, USA

    Alex or guide was very informative and a great tour guide for the trip. We visited horseshoe falls followed by a lunch at the Sheraton. Visited the township of Niagara on the Lake and ended with a wine tasting.
    The coach was very confortable and or
    our driver Sam was really great.
    Highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to visit Niagara.

    this tour is absolutely worth the money. The tour left on time. We didn't have many people on board but the lady who was making the commentary was amazing. I didn't get her name but she was great. She had so much information of the islands and the history and the CN tower . I took the 7pm tour so it was around sunset and it was absolutely beautiful. I highly recommend this tour

    Fantastic views, well organized tour. It would be great if not the fact that driver/guide didn't have a microphone! He was talking a lot explaining and telling stories which we in seats bit further from the driver haven't heard at all. So, going on this kind of trip sit as close to driver as possible..

    This brunch cruise was excellent and the staff and food were great. When we entered the boat we were met by Jay who introduced himself as our server. He explained how the cruise worked and about what was included in the price. The food for brunch was very nice and as it was buffet service we were actively encouraged to get more food whenever we wanted to. Jay served us some beautiful cocktails (not included in the price). As two people on our first visit to Toronto this cruise was great and I got some great photo opportunities.

    Great time visiting all the sites. Beautiful day with partially cloudy skies made for great photos. Friendly guide provided great information and bypassed all the ticket lines and showed us all the great photo locations. Enjoyable day.

    We signed up for the day/evening cruise/dinner tour but subsequently notified that that tour was full. We ended up switching to a day/lunch tour. Not what we originally wanted but still a great day.

    This was a fantastic full day excursion to Niagra Falls. Our knowledgeable tour guide was able to provide an interesting commentary as we drove down on the coach, and she and our driver were very friendly and helpful.
    The boat trip was amazing even if we got quite wet! We enjoyed a terrific lunch at the Sheraton Hotel with panoramic views over the falls and surrounding area.
    Our trip included a visit to the picturesque town of Niagra, and a wine tasting experience at a local vineyard.
    This was a really great day out, extremely well organised, and excellent value for money.

    Had a great tour! The hotel concierge recommended Grayline and I spent hours looking at options and then ultimately settled back with them. I wanted to see Niagara on the Lake and I’m glad we did! It’s very cute and I would have liked more time there.
    We weren’t supposed to do the maple tasting with this tour, but we had time, so we did. It was fine-very commercialized and like a fancy truck stop. I wouldn’t choose it on my own. We also did the wine tasting and it was a lovely spot, but I didn’t like any of their wines.
    A few tips—give yourself extra time to get to the morning meeting spot. And do NOT rely on the free poncho for the boat ride unless you want to get soaked. I brought better disposable raincoats and boot covers I found on Amazon. There is no mist—it is a full shower experience. We still had soaked sleeves, gloves, knees and anything else that was exposed. As it was November and cold outside, we didn’t dry fast and being wet all day is rough.
    I did the optional lunch mainly to make sure my daughter was fed and didn’t get hangry. It was pretty decent, but nothing exciting. Nice views and I’m glad we did it because it appears to just be a bunch of junk shops and fast food in the area.
    Overall it was a great trip and I think a tour is the way to go!

    Having arrived in Toronto at lunchtime after a very early start from the UK, we wanted to do something relaxing for the afternoon and this fitted the bill perfectly. We were actually out on the lake for around 90 minutes but it didn’t cost much more than a 45 minute harbour cruise. The weather was fabulous and we had some amazing views of the city skyline. There was food available on board although we didn’t want anything. A lovely start to our trip!

    I joined the Full day Niagara Falls tour with City Sightseeing Tours on 5/11/24 during my recent visit to Toronto. They are very good and professional. The guide and driver with my group was Michael who picked me up from the hotel I was staying bright and early on the morning we depart. Michael was clearly very proud that he was Toronto born and bred and did not hesitate to educate us about Toronto. It was an entertaining trip with Michael except it would have been helpful if he had stopped on the way after 2 hrs into the trip for us to have a 5 or 10 mins break at a wash room as we did not have any stop for 3 hrs until we reached Hungry Moose which was really close to the falls. But Michael ensured that we all had a good time and that we all got our tickets for the boat ride at the Falls. We stopped on the way at Niagara-on-the-Lake where we all had a wonderful time shopping and eating some of the local delicacies. Michael also arranged for us to visit the Niagara College Canada vineyard where we sampled some icewines and other products. It was an excellent day trip and I would strongly recommend City Sightseeing Tours if you would like to visit the Niagara Falls. They are very experienced and provide excellent service, always willing to assist ! Thanks to Michael and City Sightseeing Tours for such an awesome experience at the Falls and all the stops in between !
