Pick-up was on time; driver and tour guide were friendly, knowledgeable, and helpful. The small-group setting encouraged questions and conversation. No problems encountered and no complaints whatsoever. Would unhesitatingly recommend and use these folks again.

Excellent experience

Alexander_S, May 2026
It was a fascinating trip; the guide and driver were excellent. We were very pleased with the experience and will recommend it to all our family and friends.

I would do this tour again!

Mary_L, May 2026
What a great experience! The van was very nice and comfortable and Michael the driver was awesome. Patrick was so knowledgeable and talked us through everything. They both grew up in Toronto so they we were a wealth of knowledge! Patrick made the whole trip very memorable. The small town of Niagara on the falls was a great stop and Niagara falls is stunning. We made it home safely and my husband left a hat in the van and they were l so very nice to deliver it back. That was amazing! Thank you!!! Awesome experience!

Peter and Danny have us...

Michael_T, May 2026
Peter and Danny gave us an excellent itinerary and great information plus tips given for each stop. We were given plenty of time at each stop and managed to do everything we set out too. The falls were the highlight of the trip but we loved Niagara on the falls too!

Niagara Falls a Fantastic day trip

Nigel_H, May 2026
This is a fantastic way to see this natural wonder. Our guide Margo and driver Michael were great. We heard lots of great back stories on important points along the way to the Falls. The boat ride was an absolute highlight.

Niagra Falls day trip

Oscar_A, Apr 2026
Friendly guide and driver that take you directly to the falls instead of being dropped off close to the falls and having to figure out a way there. Elena was very knowledgeable about Toronto and Canada

Great and long day!

Dave_D, Nov 2025
Essy going, friendly and attentive staff, bring snacks and drinks for the long ride and a change of clothes if you stay on top of the boat.

Niagara Falls Tour

Greta_B, Nov 2025
The small group Niagara Falls excursion is the way to go. The tour guide was both friendly and knowledgeable, and the shuttle driver did a great job navigating us safely throughout a very rainy day.

Karen_Y, Oct 2025
Our tour guide, Peter, and driver, Michael, picked us up promptly and right on time. The itinerary was well-organized, and all of Peter's recommendations were spot on. From grabbing a sandwich at Budapest Bakeshop in Niagara-on-the-Lake to knowing exactly where to stand on the Hornblower Cruise for the best view of the falls while avoiding the crowds — he was incredibly accurate. We followed all his suggestions and ended up having an amazing time.

Awesome!

DavidWL, Oct 2025
Awesome! On time, clean, comfortable vehicle with experienced driver. Tour guide (I wish I remembered his name)presentation of the geologic and historical facts and the people crazy adventures was entertaining making the drive time fly bye. My husband had a medical emergency on board The Maid of the Mist and our guide took over and managed to care for my husband needs and still make it a personal experience for the other guests. I was overwhelmed by the guide’s knowledge, kindness, compassion and expertise. Everyone on this tour worked together to make this adventure a positive experience with the guidance of a truly professional guide. There is not enough praise and respect I can offer to our guide, he is my hero.

Great day tour to Niagara

Paul_C, Oct 2025
This is an excellent small group tour to Niagara Falls. We were picked up outside hotel in very comfortable Mercedes mini bus. Our group was just 7 people so no issues with seating etc. Itinerary was excellent we spent about 1:45 in Niagara in the Lake before getting to Niagara Falls at around 13:30. We had about 1:30 to spend in visitors centre so could choose some of the various activities available. Then we went to the boat terminal for the ride into the falls.excellent hosting from Elena and our driver Danny, good commentary during the journey and we were well looked after. A full day and we arrived back in Toronto around 18:30. Great trip, excellent guide and fantastic to see the falls and surrounding area on a sunny autumn day. We enjoyed our day and would recommend this tour to anyone wishing to see Niagara Falls in a day.

Fantastic day. Our tour...

Carmel_M, Sep 2025

Fabulous Trip to Niagra

Unmissable trip!

Samantha_H, Sep 2025
An unmissable trip to Niagara! Well organised, comfortable, entertaining and fun. The Falls are fantastic, Niagara on the Lake is beautiful and the boat trip is brilliant! The team can't do enough to ensure you have a great day. Highly recommended and very much appreciated!

Niagara Falls - luxury small group

Adam_S, Sep 2025
It’s a long day and expect to get wet. There is a fine mist in the air around the falls, you need to have a waterproof to avoid frizzy hair. The falls are incredible, really worth the boat trip. Our guide was excellent, very informative and organized our day and times well. The driver was a good driver too.

Good Tour - lots of time in the van

Robyn_J, Sep 2025
This trip includes 4-5 hours of driving within the stated timeframe. It's a nice van and they narrate along the way. Darren was super knowledgeable. You absolutely get wet when viewing the falls. It felt like a long outing due to the long van rides. Cute stop in Niagra On The Lake.

Niagara Falls tour

ElenaCelestina_G, Sep 2025
It was simply perfect! Peter & Marian managed to make the 12 people on the bus connect in a fun and friendly way so it was like a family outing full of laughter but also informative about every places we visited. I highly recommend it

This is a wonderful...

Terrell_D, Sep 2025
This is a wonderful experience. Our guide gave us the best tips for fully experiencing the Falls and our driver made sure we could get all the best pictures. We thoroughly enjoyed our day.

Informative guide,...

Dan_K, Sep 2025
Informative guide, Mercedes van was nice but the back seat was bumpy, the roads didn’t help. Better than expected. The guide got us through the boat ride quick and was good with suggestions on the best location to stand for the trip

Excellent way to discover...

A fantastic day from start to finish! Our guide Patrick was wonderful and made the day fun, informative and so interesting with his wealth of knowledge and local insight. Lunch at the golf club at Niagara on the Lake was a great choice and delicious. Comfortable luxury transport and a great driver Michael who looked after us. I thoroughly recommend this tour.

Niagara Falls

Rebecca_B, Aug 2025
The trip to Niagara Falls and other stops along the way were wonderful. Our guide Peter and driver Dom were very friendly, knowledgeable and very organized. It was a great way to tour

Great experience!

Fred_B, Aug 2025
We had a wonderful time and the trip was worth every penny. The highlight was the Falls, obviously, but we enjoyed all the stops and learning about the Niagara area. Eleanor was a fabulous guide with much insight to the area and Vic was a great driver. We like being with a smaller group as well.

Worth it

Delice_R, Aug 2025
Was a great experience I appreciate the smaller group making the trip more intimate Patrick was amazing!

Worth the extra money!

Ros, Aug 2025
The van was very nice and very comfortable. The group was small (only 7 that day) so it was more personal than other tours with 30-40 people. Also, it did not waste time in taking you to shopping nor a sit-down lunch. There was in total 2 hours free time and just sufficient time to walk around and have a quick lunch. Margo, our guide, was very good in providing us the history of Toronto and Niagara Fall, and due to a small group, we could ask her questions that we were interested in. On the while, it met my expectation and I would recommend this tour, even though this is more expensive than the other ones.

A pick up at your hotel &...

Rosemary_W, Aug 2025
A pick up at your hotel & with a small group ( we had 8) is definitely the way to go. Also, getting driven around in a Mercedes van didn't hurt!

Excellent tour guide and driver

Sandy_S, Aug 2025
Our tour guide Peter was knowledgeable, responsible, and always ready to help, making the experience smooth and enjoyable. The driver Denny drove safely and comfortably, allowing us to relax throughout the journey. We truly enjoyed the entire trip and highly recommend their services. Thank you!
