It was just a great day! Jonny the guide was on time, very knowledgeable and entertaining. He was very careful to check everyone back on. We left an Italian traveler briefly because he did not return on time but collected him on the way back when he had got there. All in all a great trip.

Great fun. Our tour operator/guide Garry was very cool. The Falls were amazing. The included lunch was acceptable, typical hotel fare. I really had a great time! Niagara Is a beautiful community!

Be ready for morning pickup at your downtown Toronto hotel. Climb into a comfortable minibus or bus, and depart for Niagara Falls.

Arriving at the falls, get photo-worthy views from Table Rock and walk along the edge. Hop onboard a Niagara City Cruise (priority admission included, in season only) for an up-close look; prepare to get drenched.

Following the cruise, have a local lunch (if option selected). Spend some time exploring at your leisure before hopping back on the bus for a ride down Niagara Parkway. Arrive at Whirlpool Rapids, notable for being the largest series of standing waves in North America. Upgrade your experience with a helicopter ride for aerial views of this phenomenon.

Continue to other area highlights, including the Floral Clock. Then, visit Niagara-on-the-Lake for some free time in this quaint small town.

After a full day out, your tour ends with drop-off at your Toronto hotel.

Johnny the guide made the day!

Andrew_G, May 2025
Johnny the guide made the day! Everything about the day was handled really well, from pickup to the tour elements. The highlight of course is the boat ride to the falls. But the difference was Johnny. Energetic, fun, knowledgeable, he was everything you want from a tour guide. Highly recommended

A bit disappointed as...

veeko317, Mar 2025
A bit disappointed as there is a misleading info in the tour info, you knew already there won’t be a boat activity during winter, why this info did not take off from the itinerary ? The price I paid did not worth to this trip. The only good thing is the tour guide Jonny did a fantastic job.

Response from Host, Apr 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback, and we sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the boat activity. We truly appreciate your time and hope to have the opportunity to serve you better in the future. Sincerely, Zoom Tours

michelle_m, Mar 2025
My husband and I thought the tour was amazing! Everything was planned well and our tour guide was very accommodating and fun. We added the journey under the falls and it was definitely a 10/10 experience! I would recommend doing this if you are going during the winter! Our tour guide, Johnny, was cool…”he knew everything”. Lol!

Niagara Natural Wonder of the World

Michele_M, Nov 2024
Tour guide was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable. The view of the falls from lunch is worth the investment. Breathtaking! Definitely recommend doing the boat tour. Overall a very positive experience. The itinerary was comprehensive and there is so much to do. I highly recommend and plan to return myself booking with the same tour. I had teens with me and the itinerary didn’t stay too long at any one place yet stayed long enough for the adults to enjoy.

Response from Host, Feb 2025

Thank you for the wonderful review! We’re also glad the itinerary struck the perfect balance to keep everyone engaged. We truly appreciate your recommendation, and we look forward to welcoming you back for another memorable tour in the future! Regards, Zoom Tours

Could be a shorter trip

Denise_E, Aug 2024
I might have been better off driving myself. I would have been happy with just the visit to the falls and the cruise. All the stops were basically tourist traps and didn’t add anything for me except for wasted time. Also, took 3 hrs to get back because we left at 4 and there was a game that evening. 11 hr trip for 2 hrs of time I wanted to spend at the falls. Also, they didn’t pick me up at an hotel but gave me a location to meet the bus at, so pay attention to the pickup places.

Response from Host, Aug 2024

Your feedback is important, and we’ll use it to improve our services and communication. Best Regards, Zoom Tours.

Well worth the trip

Judith_C, Aug 2024
Knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guide/driver who made our journey to and from Niagara interesting. The boat cruise was brilliant and lunch with view of the falls ok. We had a group with additional needs with us and our guide did his best but it would have been a better experience for that group if an interpreter had been with us.

Awesome experience in the falls and lovely town Niagara by the lake. I would’ve appreciated a little more time at the falls, lunch time was very limited.

It could have been a great day but it was not.

Joakim_R, Jul 2024
We were really disappointed with the handling of the trip. Firstly we were informed the day before that the trip we had ordered, an paid for, a luxury Trip with boat ride and three-course-lunch had been cancelled and instead changed to an evening trip with dinner. Secondly we were not being picked up outside our Hotel but instead three blocks away. Secondly the busride took forever because the driver made a detour in order to pick up people outside three (!) different airport hotels. When we finally were approaching the Niagara Falls we made another few stops at some fairly uninteresting ”sights.”(World’s smallest Chapel, Flower Clock etc) This made us lose so much time that when we finally reached the Falls we had to rush out from the bus to snap a few quick photos of the falls and then quickly get back on the bus to get to the boatride. The ride was excellent. Just about the only great thing with the entire trip. After the boatride we had to hurry up to the thirteenth floor of the Sheraton Hotel where a sloppy all-you-can-eat-buffet was presented. The restaurant was bustling with families so the noise level was reaching high. After finishing the dinner we finally got approximately close to forty minutes to watch the lightshow and fireworks. But as soon as that ended we had to hurry back to the bus for the ride home. That busride was initially quite fast and smooth but because we now had to drop people off in reverse order the driver had to make another tour of the AirPort hotels. When we finally reached the City came the final letdown: the driver dropped us of no less than eleven blocks from our hotel! We had to walk for more than half an hour which is not the most pleasant thing to do after midnight in a big city like Toronto. In conclusion: we got A LOT LESS than we had hoped and paid for.

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We sincerely apologize for the disappointment and inconvenience you experienced during your recent tour. Your feedback is very important to us, and we will use it to improve our services and ensure that future tours provide a better experience for our guests. We hope to have the opportunity to make it up to you on a future tour. Regards, Zoom Tours.

Horrible Experience!

Aditi_B, Jul 2024
Easily one of the most horrible tours I took recently! To start with, as mentioned in multiple reviews previously, they did not honor all the pickup points as mentioned on the tour details. This caused us inconvenience as we had to take an early morning Uber to the airport. Next the tour guide Johny unnecessarily yelled at our Uber driver as we arrived a few minutes late. The Niagara on the lake, boat ride and lunch at Sheraton were provided as promised. There was a brief drizzle during our lunch. There was supposed to be a 3-hour free time post-lunch. But Johny cleverly used the weather conditions to talk the group out of that 3-hour free time and dropped us back to our respective dropoff points right after the lunch. Overall it felt very dishonest and not worth the money!

Response from Host, Jul 2024

We are truly sorry to hear about your disappointing experience on our tour. Your feedback is valuable, and we sincerely apologize for the inconvenience and distress you faced. While we are glad that some aspects of the tour, such as the Niagara on the Lake visit, boat ride, and lunch, met your expectations, we understand that the alteration of the schedule and lack of promised free time were frustrating. We will review our procedures to prevent such issues in the future and ensure our guests receive the experience they were promised. Thank you for bringing these concerns to our attention. We hope you might consider giving us another chance to provide you with a better experience. Regards, Zoom Tours.
