Easy to book. Free parking at the hotel where we were picked up and dropped off. Worth the money to have them get the tickets and walk you to each activity. No waiting. Tony was a great tour guide. He explained a lot about the area and shared interesting history (even had some pictures which was helpful).

John was an amazing tour guide. Extremely professional and good at his job. Very informative tour with lots of recommendations for dining and places to visit. We really appreciated that he also gave us insight on some places that weren't great value for your money and places to go instead! Overall great tour!

Gary was a great tour guide.. he really went above and beyond. Getting us through lines, tips for shopping, and dining.

A must do excursion

Myles_B, Aug 2026
John our tour guide/driver was a blast. Got to experience some of Niagara Falls Canada’s best sites. If you don’t want to get wet book a different tour, but you’ll miss the highlight of the day. The boat ride near the falls was so much fun and at the horseshoe falls it was like a cool shower. Well worth the money spent.

Awesome Falls

Deborah_A, Aug 2026
The trip was amazing! The scenery is awesome and our guide was friendly and informative. The coach was a bit late arriving but the joining instructions were clear so we didn’t panic. The rest of the trip went smoothly

This was so cool. To be that close was awesome Being behind the falls made you realize how powerful they are.

Fun at the falls

Sarah_C, Aug 2026
Great way to enjoy the falls up close and get good photos. Just wear shoes that are good for getting wet. I wore water hiking shoes and they were perfect.

Cheryl at the desk and John McKinnon in the field. Excellent service. Looked after from start to finish. Lots of history and impeccable chaperoning. Will be back with the kids.

First Visit and Tour: Niagara Falls Canada

Emmanuel_S, Jul 2026
Our tour guide, John, was the best and made sure everyone had a good time. This was my first trip to Niagara Falls. My wife has visited twice before, and she agreed this was the best tour she's been on, thanks to John!

Quintessential Niagara Experience

Gini_M, Jun 2026
Our guide, Tony, was stellar. He was able to give us insider tips to make each part of the experience informative and enjoyable. The bus ride was very comfortable, and the prep and insider information for both the walk under the Falls and the boat ride was very helpful. We both really enjoyed his stories and friendliness.

Great Trip

Alyson_W, May 2026
Great trip, very informative, interesting and fun, our guide John was fab, would definitely recommend 👍

Absolutely a crowd...

Dona_V, Jan 2026
Absolutely a crowd pleaser for the family. The kids loved it and said, “Very exciting!” and “tell them it they’re going to get wet.” It’s one of these simple activities that you can’t replicate with screens and gets all the smiles. Love those.

Lisa_B, Sep 2025
Gary was amazing, as our tour guide. Niagara Falls was beautiful! We were sufficiently soaked at the end of the boat ride, but SO worth it! He gave us lots of local tips for restaurants and souvenirs.

Amazing!

Emma_B, Sep 2025
Tony was an absolute pleasure!! Had the most amazing day and really enjoyed his company, he was knowledgeable, funny, and somehow managed to have us on all attractions quicker than usual ques!! Would 1000% recommend this tour!

Great bundle of Canadian side activities

Lisa_A, Sep 2025
Great way to see the falls from the Canadian side of the falls! Transportation was key to making this tour a success. The wirlpool rapids was not especially impressive, but the other components organized in the tour were perfect.

Best Tour Ever!

Glen_D, Sep 2025
