Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto and Skip the Line Boat Cruise
Overview
Available languages
9 hours
Mobile ticket
Experience the best Niagara Falls has to offer on this stress-free trip. Join our morning departure from Toronto on a climate-controlled vehicle, complete with reclining seats, storage for bags and a professional guide. Along the way, the guide will provide local facts, point out hidden gems, and equip you with insider tips. Our first stop is the Niagara Falls Cruise.
Arriving early enables us to skip the large crowds and queues, hopping right onto the boat. From the water, you're able to capture the most powerful view of the falls, as water plummets over the edge. Keepsake rain ponchos will be provided on site.
After the cruise, enjoy approximately 2 hours of free time while you explore Clifton Hill, Journey Behind the Falls, Skylon Tower, Skywheel or the zipline (additional cost). Mid afternoon we will travel along the Niagara Parkway and visit the whirlpool rapids followed by a stop at Niagara on the Lake and Maple Leaf Place for a Maple Syrup tasting experience.

It was great

5.00Hugo and Alex were amazing. Funny, light hearted, open and the information was greatly spaced out so as to not overwhelm us. It was great and I would definitely recommend them. All information was clear and we didn’t need to pay anything extra except from our own sweet treats and souvenirs.
Highly Recommend!!

5.00I am so glad we booked this tour! What was important for us was to see the most important sites, not wake up too early, not stay too long in one place, and get back at a decent time. This tour accomplished all of that and more. Luis was amazing. He gave us lots of great info on the way and back, and he gave clear instructions. The pace was exactly what I hoped for! We had a great time.
Awesome experience!

5.00The whole day tour was smooth and they are on time! The transpo was comfortable and clean! Our tour guide Alex was very accommodating. Beginning to end, she made sure all instructions for smooth logistics are properly communicated! Me and my friends enjoyed the whole day, however we find the time in falls and journey behind the falls are a bit tight especially because we took time in queue. We had to rush going back to the meet up point.
Great time!
