Bus from downtown Toronto to Niagara Falls. Boat trip in front of Niagara Falls was 15 minutes. Had a couple of hours to look around Niagara Falls on our own. Stopped at a store that sold maple syrup and chocolates. One last short stop at Niagara-on-the-Lake.

This was a great way to see the falls. Alex was our Tour Leader. She was knowledgeable and funny. Very organised with times. Gave us a board with the bus number and time to reconvene as well as her mobile number. We took a photo at each stop.
