Being part of a tour definitely had it's benefits, we managed to skip the line at the Journey Behind the Falls. Even with being dropped of close to all attractions there is a lot of walking so someone with mobility issues should be prepared. But the sights are beautiful, something everyone should experience. Haroon was very informative and had lots of great facts to tell about the falls.
Great visit to the falls and the boat trip by my Polish family . They lived the tour and the syrup and chocolate tasting. But nothing beats the ride on the boat on the upper deck and viewing the Fslls’ rainbow.
What a worthwhile tour. I highly recommend this trip ! Haroon was my guide and was so clear with all instructions at every stop. It was nice to hear about all the history and information along the way. The pick up and drop off options allow such a flexibility to this experience.
The falls were amazing but the organisation of the tour wasn’t great. When we booked the tour, we thought the tour would start near the airport hotel so that we could save a bit of time on the road. However we were driven to downtown to pick up more people which wasted 1.5 hours. It was past midday by the time we got to the falls. The other thing was that the tour was supposed to be 28 people max but our tour ended up to be 50 people in total. This meant that we had to wait for people at various stops and some were always late. The tour would have been much more enjoyable if it was as advertised. The tour bus also had a sign that said 20% tip is customary. We know that the guide worked hard but $100 tip for the day seemed a bit excessive for the two of us. This should be stated on the booking.

Thank you for your feedback. We are glad you enjoyed the beauty of the falls, but we want to clarify a few points regarding your experience.
With Toronto currently hosting the FIFA World Cup, traffic and visitor numbers across the region are unprecedented. To accommodate everyone and manage city-wide congestion, pickup routes and group consolidation are sometimes necessary adjustments that all operators must make right now.
Regarding the group size, we always aim to stick to our advertised limits, but the massive influx of international tourists during this global event required us to adjust to ensure no booked guests were left stranded.
As for the tipping sign, it is simply a standard industry guideline to help international travelers understand local customs. Gratuities are always entirely at your discretion based on the service provided.
We appreciate your understanding of the unique challenges that come with operating during a major world event.
Excellent well organized tour. Bus driver was excellent Bus was on time . The driver explained the tour well . Would recommend it.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad Airlink could make your visit to the Falls memorable!
We had a great day taking in some of Niagara Dalls iconic experiences. We particularly enjoyed the behind the falls experience. Our driver, Sourabh, was a fabulous guide.

Thank you! We’re glad you had a great day and enjoyed the tour with Shourab, Hope to see you again!
We had a wonderful time. Wish we could have had a bit more time at each stop, but Shahz was a great guide.
Haroon was a great guide, friendly and knowledgeable. Plenty of time to see the falls from above , behind and below.
Observation deck is the highlight and should not be missed, many picture taking opportunities specially on cruise, from top of horse shoe, don't miss the rainbow in the afternoon to enhance your pictures, it's better to eat at Niagara falls area as at Maple leaf it a bit hurried, Also look at other activities including boat ride on rapids it's great
Very good experience, however, don't expect much behind the falls, but you are able to get some beautiful pictures.
10/10 a great and memorable trip to the Falls. Thank you Shaz we were really impressed by the trip and would highly recommend other travellers to use your company
Tour guide Shahz was incredibly patient with the other tour passengers who never came back to the bus at the agreed time. Credit to Shahz for being nicer than I would be. First stop was the flower clock. Don't use the toilets there. Honestly might be some of the worst smelling toilets I've come across in my travels. Then a drop in at the rapids then time at the main attraction, the falls. Final stop on the way home for those that purchased the additional activity. Then a straight drive home. Sound system in the van needs to be updated so we can hear the guide :) .
I highly recommend to join a day tour with Harlon ! He drove safely and knowledgeable. My wife and I had a great time visiting Niagara Falls.
Seeing Niagara Falls has been on our bucket list. Traveling with Shohz on Viator day trip from Toronto was the perfect way to fill this bucket.
Response from Host, May 2025
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re thrilled Shohz helped make your Niagara Falls visit from Toronto a memorable bucket list moment. Hope to welcome you on another trip soon!
A great day visiting the falls. Boat trip well worth it. Got a bit wet but soon dried as it was warm and sunny.
Everything was amazing and the guide was great he did an excellent job. The day was perfect. Very touristy but the falls was incredible
Great 1 day tour from toronto, it covers the main spots in niagara.
Pick up from hotels near airport was provided, just not every hotel.
Initial currency setting is in USD not CAD, so make sure to check.
Tickets for attractions may be cheaper to buy onsite.

Hi devin g,
Thank you for your feedback. The currency on Viator is based where you’re located. There is no difference in the price you pay.
The tour was very. The tour guide very nice and friendly. I would definitely recommend anyone to book this tour.
Haroon was a great Tour guide. We went to Niagra Falls, NY which was nice , however Canadian Niagra Falls has more to offer as far as things to do. No matter which side Niagra Falls is beautiful.
great day at niagara falls. our original flight got cancelled due to the global IT bug and we weren’t gonna make it to our original tour. it was no hassle to reschedule with the tour operator. our guide shaz was friendly and knowledgeable. picked us up on time and drove us back home safely. plenty of time to explore the area on ur own after each stop.
It was a good experience, not the best, not the worst. You will get to see Niagara and that’s cool! Traffic might change the plans and that’s understandable.
Great guide. Explaining, funny and very polite. The car is fine. Not big groups.
Very nice views. Can buy tickets to the boat trip in the bus
Niegra fall boat ride & behind the fall was excellent. Overall a very good tour experience. Driver was informative & professional.
The whole trip was such an amazing experience for me. The tour guide gave full information of what the day’s trip involved and time to ask questions if unsure about any part of the trip.
During the drive the tour guide continued to give information while we passed any places of interest.
On arrival we got into groups and explored our surroundings. The tour guide went out of his way to ensure everyone was comfortable in a respectful and professional manner.
I enjoyed the boat cruise most, it was just amazing!!
It’s been an easy & chill day of a tour!
Though I wish beverage (water) & WiFi are provided on the ride, as an hour & half to the first destination.
Driver/Guide excellent service with great customer support. Boat ride to the Falls excellent. Overall tour was great.
The excursion from the Toronto Airport hotel was not what we expected. It was peppered to be airport hotel pickups but it turned into an extra 1.5 hours going into downtown Toronto and picking up passengers from multiple hotels in the city. The long drive to Niagara Falls was disappointing as we were expecting to hear interesting tidbits about the area and its history.
The bus drive to the falls was smooth and efficient, but that is all we got was transportation…. No additional information. The drop off and pick up went smoothly and there was a nominal feedback on the Falls and a few additional tidbits spoken at a fast rate making it difficult to understand. Note: I state that it was nominal as I did a tour several years ago at which our guide shared a wealth of information that he shared with the tourists, making it very interesting. This was not the case with this tour. The guide was nice and helpful but boring and the ride back to the hotel was uneventful.
I recommend this tour only as a means to be transported from Toronto to Niagara Falls and back.

Hello Patrica,
Thanks for your review.
We are the only operator who even picks up people from Airport Hotels.
In your tour overview it clearly mentions you will be a joining a bus from Toronto downtown, we picked you first because you are located outside the city. It's 30 minutes drive to Toronto to Starbucks where majority of the group is waiting.
Secondly the drive from Toronto to Niagara falls is almost 2 hours. We are Niagara falls tour guides not Toronto city guides ( you can book separate Toronto tour for information on Toronto). The guides will speak about Niagara falls onces you get there so of course he won't be talking about Toronto on the way.
All our guides are trained to speak and info you about attractions you are visiting. If you had any questions you should have asked him instead of saying he didn't not provide you with any information.
We are sorry you did not enjoy your experience with us from Airport. I would recommend you book 2 separate tours next time . One for Toronto city and second Niagara falls tour from Toronto downtown.
Tour operator was
Late
Texted, used his phone, while speeding.
Arrogant and cheeky and most disrespectful.
A disgrace to Canada.

Hi toetie,
We emailed you about the pick up time, you read the email and still showed up before the departure time and now you’re complaining. Our vehicles have cameras and speed minoring system. We’ll have a look to verify. Thanks for your review, safe travels home.
Loved the boat ride and the tour . Wow ! Great job Viator . Great guide Haroon ! Very knowledgeable.
The driver was very rude and threatened us why did we escalated to customer care so he wouldn’t take us back.

Hi sandy,
You cancelled your tour while being on the bus, and when the driver asked you to leave the bus, you called customer service to complain. In the end, you got your money back and basically did the tour for free. We are very disappointed with your antics, but hopefully you enjoyed your day and your stay in Canada.
