This was one of the best tours I’ve been on! Adam was fantastic and our driver, Raymond, got us there smoothly. Adam was very knowledgeable with the Toronto area as we were driving by. He was also very knowledgeable about the Falls. He provided plenty of recommendations, to do during the tour and Toronto as a whole. One of the most personable tour guides I’ve had in my life. It was a nice touch he had the bus sing happy birthday to our friend when he found out mid-trip it was my friend’s birthday.
If I were to do this again, I would skip the Behind the Falls walking tour. I thought we were actually going to be behind the falls but it was more-so an overcrowded tunnel with a fenced off opening at the end of the tunnel a few feet behind the falls for you to see the falls. It was nice to be on the observation deck right next to the falls though as Behind the Falls included that.
This tour gave us plenty of time to enjoy Niagara Falls and plenty of time to enjoy the rest of the evening in Toronto. We utilized Adam’s recommendations to plan the rest of our evening.

Andrew was a fabulous tour guide. He kept the group on schedule and was very knowledgable about the area! A fabulous day!
Really enjoyable trip. Relatively small group so not crowded. Paul was a fantastic tour guide as well as driver.
Great trip , full day guide was awesome, we did the boat trip , behind the falls and the Skylon tower our guide Pauly was just simply the best
What an amazing incredible day! Our tour guide was Michael (Captain) and he was so insightful, humorous and knowledgeable. He made the drive down and back entertaining and I learned a good few things along the way. He highly recommended bringing a spare pair of dry socks with you because you do get wet on this tour, I underestimated how wet but thankfully it was a beautiful sunny day we dried off pretty quickly. The falls themselves were just incredible and it’s a trip I’ll never forget. Thankyou for a wonderful and pleasant experience.
More time at the falls/behind the falls would have been appreciated rather than spending time at souvenir shops. The tour bus operator was kind but it was difficult to hear him and some of the seats on the bus were broken.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hi Sarah! We’re glad you found the tour guide kind, and thank you for letting us know about the sound system and the broken seats. We spend time at the rest stop and maple syrup tasting so our guides can collect tickets for your group, which helps save time at the attractions themselves; while many places in Niagara offer souvenirs, that is not the main purpose of the stop, and we appreciate your understanding 😊
We had a great experience. The day was fun and easy. Kathy and Michael were friendly and helpful.
However, the food along the trip was just okay.

Thank you so much for sharing your feedback! We’re glad you had a fun and easy day and that Cathie and Michael were friendly and helpful! 🇨🇦
A nice trip to the Niagarafalls. Good guide but he played very loud music in the bus all the way to and back from the falls...
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, and we’re glad you enjoyed your guide ☺️. We also appreciate your comment about the music volume and will note this to your guide as well.
Full day trip. Enjoyed the driver, she was very knowledgeable. It was a rainy day, but seeing the falls from the Canadian side was spectacular.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the day trip with your guide and it’s wonderful to hear that Niagara Falls was spectacular even on a rainy day! 🌊
Great experience, made it stress free being escorted with tickets already collected by Marion our tour rep. She was very knowledgeable and great fun too. Highly recommend queens tours for a smooth slick experience. Niagra was fantastic!

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience and for recommending Queen Tour! We’re so happy to hear that Marian helped make your Niagara Falls visit smooth and stress-free! 🇨🇦
It was worth coming all the way from Australia, this tour didn’t disappoint.
We had such a wonderful day.
Niagara Falls was truly breathtaking.
Our tour guide BlueJay Jeff was amazing.
He shared lots of knowledge about the entire Toronto region, and also the best places to eat and drink in the city.
He truly made the day.
Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your review, especially after travelling all the way from Australia! We’re so happy you had such a memorable day and that BlueJay Jeff’s knowledge and local recommendations made your Niagara Falls experience even more special! 🌊
Overall a good trip. Pauli very friendly guide/driver. We included the boat and behind the falls. Both worth it if not been done before. Only awkward problem is making the pickup point. Took advice from locals on how long it would take, wrong. Allowed an extra 10 minutes. 20 would be more comfortable. All down to morning traffic.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad Pauli helped make the day enjoyable and that you found the boat and Behind the Falls experiences worthwhile! 😊
We had a wonderful experience on our Niagara Falls tour! John was a great guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and very clear with his directions and instructions throughout the day. He made sure we knew exactly where to go, where to meet, and what to expect at each stop, which made the entire experience easy and enjoyable.
Niagara Falls was absolutely beautiful, and we really enjoyed the different activities and stops included in the tour. Everything was well organized, and we were able to enjoy the day without feeling confused or rushed.
Thank you, John, for helping make our Niagara Falls experience such a memorable one! I would definitely recommend this tour.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience with Queen Tour, Jean! 🇨🇦 We’re glad John kept everything clear and well organized throughout the day, and that you could relax and enjoy the Falls and all the stops. ☺️ We'll be sure to pass along your thanks to John!
It was well organized. The tour bus picked me up and dropped me off right in front of my hotel. It was perfectly on time. Our tour guide Glenn is very nice, knowledgeable and accommodating. He went above and beyond to help me to secure both the tickets of boat ride and journey behind the falls at the last minute. I really enjoyed both experiences so much and had so much fun. Get some nice pictures with new friends I made in my tour group. Very memorable tour. Strongly recommended it if you come to visit Toronto! .
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thank you for such a thoughtful review and strong recommendation! We’re glad Glen was able to assist with the last-minute tickets and that you enjoyed both attractions, met some new friends, and came away with some great photos! 📷 ☺️
It was a very well organized trip and expirience! Us and our 11 year old son had great time and enjoyed the falls and all the activities, especially don’t miss the boat ride- it was the best!! Our pick up and drop off was very comfortable and right on time and the tour guide Marianne was very nice, funny and had a lot of interesting stories to tell us! Thank you!
Response from Host, Sep 2026

I came to Toronto for a solo birthday trip and had the best day with “The Captain” and other guest!! I was able to do the boat tour and Journey Behind the Falls. If you have the chance to chance to visit Niagara Falls do it!!
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Thanks so much for spending part of your birthday with us! We’re so glad you had such a great day with The Captain and the rest of the group, and that you got to experience both the boat tour and Journey Behind The Falls.

John was our tour guide. He was very considerate and helpful. He was very knowledgeable and made sure to look out for everyone on the tour. He was very patient and kind. The tour is not to be missed. Canadian side is truly the best.

Despite running into some mechanical issues with a broken down bus, Queen Tour got us back on track almost immediately (within about 10 minutes). Glen, our tour guide, was very nice, funny, communicative and prompt throughout the tour. Would definitely book through Queen Tour again.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
Hi Ryan, thank you so much for sharing your feedback with us! We’re glad Glen helped keep the day enjoyable and that our team was able to get things back on track quickly. We really appreciate your recommendation and your kind words about Glen! ☺️
Glen was our driver and guide for this day trip from Toronto. Everything went smoothly from pickup at the designated location to drop off and everything in between. Glen was knowledgeable about Toronto and the Falls and imparted information and anecdotes as we travelled. He was very good and we'd certainly recommend both Queen Tours and Glen for future trips.

What a fun and stress free way to enjoy Niagara Falls. We liked the freedom to go at our own pace at the stops. Blue Jay Jeff was incredible. He was so friendly and had great restaurant recommendations.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thanks so much for sharing your review! We’re glad you enjoyed the freedom to explore at your own pace and that Jeff made the day even better with his friendly service and restaurant tips! ☺️
Great service, great personnel. Attention to detail. Cathie pur tour guide and Tony our driver were great!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for your kind words and for recognizing Cathie and Tony! We’re happy to hear you enjoyed their service! ☺️
A great day trip away from Toronto guided by Cathie. The bus ride took about 1.5-2 hours and with a stop at the floral clock. The maple syrup and chocolate tasting was a nice stop. The Niagara falls boat tour was worth it if you've never been before. The journey behind the falls was neat for a different viewpoint but could take or leave this one. You just get to walk the tunnels behind the falls and you get to go to another observatory deck. I'd definitely recommend going on the boat and seeing the falls up close!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for sharing the details of your day with us! We’re glad you enjoyed the different ways of seeing Niagara Falls and that Cathie helped make the trip a great experience! 😊
Great experience. Our guide Tracy was very friendly and informative. It is a long day and the bus trip back to Toronto does take time with traffic, but it is well worth it. I would recommend this tour as you get the full Niagara experience!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad Tracy made the day enjoyable with her friendly nature and knowledge. It is a long day, especially with Toronto traffic on the way back, but we’re happy you felt it was worth it and got the full Niagara experience. We’ll be sure to pass your kind words on to Tracy 🙂
I like how Viator arrange our day, with a properly packed schedule. Although I would have liked to stop by the flower clock, and the butterfly hub to take some pictures
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the well-organized schedule and felt the day was nicely packed. We understand wanting to see the Floral Clock and Butterfly Conservatory too, as there are so many great spots around Niagara to photograph. We hope you enjoyed the rest of your day with us and would love to have you back again 🙂
We had a great time with Queen Tours to see Niagara Falls from Toronto. Our guide, Cathie, gave lots of interesting info about Canada and the surrounding region. The pickup and dropoff was timely, and gave us flexibility to explore on our own.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for sharing this with us! We’re glad Cathie added to the day with her stories and knowledge, and that the smooth pickup and drop-off gave you the freedom to enjoy Niagara at your own pace! 😊
We really enjoyed our trip to Niagara. We opted for the boat and behind the falls package, which was very good value. Marian was a great guide and was very informative.
The only issue is that I would have liked a little longer after the boat trip to have lunch and to explore the area.
I thoroughly recommend the tour!
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Hi, thank you for sharing your experience! We’re glad you enjoyed the boat and Journey Behind the Falls and that Marian made the day enjoyable with her knowledge and guidance. We also appreciate the feedback about the time after the cruise! 🇨🇦
It was a great trip! Our guide Steven was great! He gave us some fun facts about the city, recommendations, and kept everyone organized throughout the day.
The cruise option is completely necessary. It was so much fun and cool being close to the falls. I would stay journey behind the falls is not as necessary and skippable. Views from the top were just as amazing.
Overall, great tour! Highly recommend booking for an organized and chill Niagara Falls day.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for sharing, Jennifer! It sounds like Steven struck a great balance between keeping everyone on track and making the day fun, and we’re happy the boat cruise was a highlight for you! ☺️
We had a fantastic trip with Cari. Everything ran smoothly from start to finish and we were well looked after throughout. Was definitely worth paying for the hornblower and journey behind the falls. Both amazing experiences with added bonus of skipping a few lines! Would 100% recommend.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Sounds like Cari took great care of you from beginning to end! We’re glad you enjoyed both Journey Behind The Falls and the boat cruise, and that having the tickets arranged helped you skip some of the lines. Thanks for the 100% recommendation 😊
Winston our tour guide was very knowledgeable about the route and gave us a lot of information on our way to Niagara Falls. His very cool, calm, and collected, the trip was definitely worth it.
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Winston will be happy to hear this! We’re glad his knowledge and calm approach made the journey to Niagara so enjoyable, and that you felt the trip was well worth it. Thanks for spending the day with us 😊
The tour was amazing! It was our first time in Toronto and enjoyed the amazing hospitality from Natalia and Queens tour during our tour to the Niagara Falls. Definitely will booked again and refer them to friends
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re glad to hear Nadia made your first visit to Toronto and Niagara Falls such a memorable experience. We really appreciate the recommendation and hope to welcome you back again on your next visit! 😊
If you’re at a hotel, bring the shower cap for your hair, you can thank me later. Also wear rubber sandals as sneakers will cause you to have wet feet all day. Our guide Marian was wonderful though, she’s hilarious and kind
Response from Host, Aug 2026
Thank you for the helpful tips and for sharing your experience with us! We’re so glad Marian helped make the day fun with her great sense of humour and kindness, and we hope you left with some memorable moments! ☺️
