Boat trip in front of Niagara Falls

Bus from downtown Toronto to Niagara Falls. Boat trip in front of Niagara Falls was 15 minutes. Had a couple of hours to look around Niagara Falls on our own. Stopped at a store that sold maple syrup and chocolates. One last short stop at Niagara-on-the-Lake.

Fabulous trip to Niagara Falls

Such a fun and awesome experience seeing the falls close up. We chose the boat tour as part of our tour which I highly recommend. You do get wet but it’s all part of the experience. The Falls are amazing. Our tour guide was Alex, she was very informative and kept the tour running on time. The tour included maple syrup tasting and a visit to Niagara on the Lake which is a very pretty town with lots of quaint shops. I highly recommend this trip.

Great way to experience Niagara Falls

Our tour guide was Alex. She was engaging, informative, fun and made the 90 minute trip to Niagara Falls a breeze. I think there was a good balance of free time and scheduled time activity on this tour. Alex recommended a few places based on questions my party asked, which I appreciated. I would highly recommend the boat ride, which we were able to purchase, once we arrived in Niagara Falls. We decided to have lunch on our own, which allowed us more time to walk around the town. Highly recommend.
