About This Tour

Discover the best of Niagara Falls with a guided day tour. Depart from 12 locations across Downtown Toronto or Mississauga around 8:00 AM. Learn about Niagara's history and the best things to do during your air-conditioned drive. This package includes skip-the-line tickets for Niagara's two most famous excursions, the Hornblower boat cruise and Journey Behind the Falls. Experience the iconic Hornblower boat ride (formally Maid-of-the-Mist), a 25-minute cruise into the mist of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. Then travel through the tunnels behind the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and enter a viewing balcony next to the waterfalls. Take the most incredible photos of Niagara Falls with these two experiences. You will also have free time to explore Niagara Falls and grab lunch at a local restaurant. Your tour includes photo stops at the Floral Clock, Niagara Whirlpool, and a maple syrup tour and tasting (try 3 flavours of Canadian maple syrup). Return to your hotel around 5:30 PM.
