We had a great time with Johnny as our tour guide. He had a lot of entertaining stories that made the trip go by fast, as well as recommendations and details about the Toronto area. Highly recommend if you want to visit Niagara Falls and Niagara by the lake.

Thank you Lorraine for a wonderful review of the tour and our tour guide!
Our tour guide was Garry and he was great. We paid extra for the Sheraton hotel lunch buffet and he made sure we had the best seats/ view in the place. He was punctual and informative. The falls were amazing. Be prepared to get soaked on the boat ride. They give you rain ponchos which will cover everything except your lower legs and feet. The trip was LONG. Prepare for a 2.5 hour drive there and back. Traffic in Toronto is no joke.
It was an amazing experience and everything was taken care of. Our tour guide was kind and funny and very knowledgeable. He went the extra mile to take care and assist where needed. Would definitely book again.
It was very interesting and had a low space ideal for seniors. Tour guide was excellent and was taking care of all the tourists. He was aware of all needs.
Be careful when booking , I thought I had booked services that I was told weren’t included in my booking, The tour title was not clear
Its a full day event, the drive to and from is around 3.5 hrs return, but is okay. Time seemed to go by, the tour is amazing and we'll worth the trip!
You will get very wet, despite the use of a poncho, but it will be worth it. This activity completes the experience of Niagara Falls!
Was a great experience. Bus was a bit late for pickup but it was out of his control. Our tour guide Johnny was AMAZING!!! Showed us so much stuff and so funny. Beautiful place and can’t wait to go back. Would def recommend the tour to friends and family. Met some great people on bus too from all over world.
We had a very enjoyable day with a wonderful tour guide. He was knowledgeable and extremely entertaining. Timings were ideal as we didn’t have to queue for any part of the tour.

We had the best day! Johnny our guide picked us up as scheduled. He was very informative and also a bit of a comedian. There was one passenger who was a little difficult to deal with but Johnny handled it very professionally. Niagara Falls was amazing. I would definitely recommend going on the boat.
Go with the early tour! Less traffic, and less waiting in line.
Johnny, our tour guide was amazing! Lots of facts, funny stories, and fantastic tips to ensure a smooth and stressful free experiences.
We loved our tour and Johnny ensured we were taken care off

Day bus tour to Niagara Falls was great. Garry the tour bus driver was very nice, knowledgeable and friendly. I would highly recommend taking a bus tour if you don’t want to drive yourself, price is very reasonable.

Garry our driver and guide was excellent, laid back but informative. That said he didn’t talk endlessly but made sure we didn’t miss anything or not know the history. One thing to note this says it includes lunch - it does not! There are options at Niagara but not especially nice ones, if I’d known I would have brought some food.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for your feedback! We’re very pleased to hear that Garry provided an excellent balance of informative commentary while keeping the day relaxed and enjoyable.

Thank you for choosing Zoom Tours, and we’re glad Garry helped make your Niagara Falls experience memorable. Hussain

This tour can't be finished in the 9 hours they advise. Our group ended up cutting activity from the itinerary and still ended up returning at 7:30 PM. The hotel pickup area shouldn't include airport area hotels (Sheraton airport) because it adds almost an extra 45 minutes of traffic. We picked up the tour at the Front Street location. Told to be there at 7:50. Tour arrived at 8:15. It's a popular meeting spot so three other tour groups came and went. It's a little chaotic in front of that Starbucks. It felt like the tour was always running behind. And it ends up eating into any free time like getting dropped off with 40 minutes for lunch before trying to find your group again. Part of that is due to having a driver and guide combined so there's a constant wait for the guide to collect the bus and that adds so much time that feels wasted because it's really free time, it's spent sitting at a rendezvous point. If you can afford it, I would spend the extra money for a small group tour that isn't trying to serve so many different itineraries with one charter. The obligatory stop at the maple syrup tasting is another 40 minutes of dead tour time. Most of the group just ended sitting out front waiting because it was a 10 minute experience at most. In a nutshell, the tour is trying to do too much and by the end, it's just driving thru Niagara on the Lake in a rush to make up for so much wasted time earlier.

Thank you for taking the time to provide such detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour felt rushed and that delays throughout the day affected your free time and overall experience. We understand your concerns regarding multiple pickup locations, the Front Street meeting point, the combined driver-guide format, and the amount of time allocated to certain stops such as the maple syrup tasting. Your comments about the advertised tour duration and the limited time in Niagara-on-the-Lake are especially important, and we will be reviewing the itinerary and operational timing with our team. Our goal is to provide a well-organized Niagara Falls Tour where guests have enough time to enjoy each experience without feeling rushed. We appreciate your constructive feedback, as it helps us identify where improvements are needed. Hussain

We had a good experience despite the rain which was a huge setback but there is nothing we can do about nature. However our tour guide and driver Anthony really tried to make the best of it. The boat ride of course was the highlight of the tour that was so much fun.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you were still able to enjoy your Niagara Falls Tour despite the rainy weather. We’re especially pleased to hear that Anthony went above and beyond to make the best of the day and keep the experience enjoyable. The Niagara Falls Boat Tour is certainly an unforgettable highlight, rain or shine!
Thank you for choosing Zoom Tours, and we hope to welcome you back again under sunnier skies!

They changed the pickup location the day before so we had to travel 30 min instead of 5 min. The tour was supposed to be 9 hours but when we got on the bus the guide said it might be 11 or 12 hours. There was no set itinerary so we had to wait around for other guests participating in activities.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the pickup location change, extended tour duration, and waiting time during the day affected your overall experience. We understand how frustrating it can be when a pickup point becomes less convenient or when the actual tour length differs from what was expected. We also appreciate your comments regarding the itinerary and coordination of guests participating in different activities. Your feedback is important to us, and we will review these operational concerns with our team so we can provide clearer communication, better scheduling, and a smoother experience for future guests.

Our trip to Niagara Falls was absolutely amazing! Everything was well organized, and the entire experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The views of the falls were breathtaking, and we made so many wonderful memories throughout the day.

I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area. It was a fantastic experience that we'll remember for a long time!

Good full tour to Niagara Falls and Niagara on the Lake. Four or five stops on the way there which adds a little time to the day but also allows for toilet breaks and it’s all very chilled. Our Driver and guide were a good comedy duo making a memorable day.

Very happy with this tour! We learned so many interesting facts about Niagara Falls, Canada, that we never would have discovered on our own. Gerry was an excellent tour guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and engaging. He took us to places and showed us things we would have completely missed if we had explored by ourselves. At the end of the tour, Gerry even offered to drop us off at our hotel, which was a thoughtful gesture that saved us both time and money. We highly recommend this tour!

I would NOT book this tour. This tour was meant to be max 9 hours but took over 12 in total … I know what you’re thinking, more bang for your buck but no, instead we wasted so much time sitting in the bus waiting due to last of the company/driver coordination and missed out on other things we wanted to experience were the timetable adhered. Due to the lack of coordination there were also experiences in the advertised itinerary that we never got to, and we got to the ‘buffet lunch’ ten minutes before it closed but were told by the guide to just ‘fill your plates up’ only to get back in the bus and have to wait over 30 minutes for others to get back on the bus. Would not recommend. This was highly unorganised. Viator only approved a 10% discount even though we missed the full experience and stops. Do not recommend
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize that the tour ran significantly longer than expected and that delays and coordination issues affected your overall experience. We’re especially sorry to hear that some advertised stops were missed and that the timing of the buffet lunch left you feeling rushed. A tour should feel organized and enjoyable, not leave guests spending unnecessary time waiting on the bus. We also understand your disappointment with the compensation provided through Viator. Your comments regarding scheduling, guide and driver coordination, itinerary completion, and meal timing will be reviewed carefully with our operations team. We regret that this experience did not meet your expectations and hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future and provide you with a much better, well-organized tour. Hussain

Terrible, they modified the itinerary and skip places that I pay to visit.
All of this just because they didn’t want to go.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that parts of the advertised itinerary were missed and that you felt the tour was changed without proper explanation. Guests should receive the experiences included in their booking unless an unavoidable operational issue requires a change, and any such change should be communicated clearly. We understand how disappointing it is to miss places you specifically paid to visit. We will review what happened with our operations team and sincerely apologize that your experience did not meet expectations. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again and provide you with a much better tour experience. Hussain

Scam. Advertised as all three, only includes one activity. Paid $329 for this a month in advance and see tickets for the same experience for $50 the day-of. So why did I paid $100 more per person for less?
The booking company (zoom tours) was very unsympathetic and incredibly rude.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re very sorry to hear that you felt the tour inclusions and pricing were not clearly communicated and that your interaction with our team left you feeling poorly treated. Different tour packages may include different attractions, and pricing can vary depending on the booking option, date, and inclusions selected. However, we understand how frustrating it would be to arrive expecting multiple activities and feel that you received less than what you believed you had purchased. We also take your comments regarding our customer service seriously. Guests should always be treated with courtesy and professionalism, especially when raising a concern. We regret that this experience did not meet your expectations and will review the booking details and communication with our team. We sincerely hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for another tour and provide you with a much better experience. Hussain
