5.00You make various different stops but nothing felt too excessive on terms of the time you get to spend in each location. If you don't come during summer season the Journey behind the falls potentially isn't really worth it, when I visited the two portals were blocked by ice so you couldn't really see anything you only got the view from the side and without clear weather this wasn't anything worth paying for. John shared a lot of information about the falls but also Toronto and the general area during our drive to the falls.

5.00Fantastic and well worth the money. Great knowledge from our tour guide Andrew, who gave us lots of information and knowledge about the falls. He also made everyone welcome, relaxed and got all other tourists and nationalities interacting and having fun. Another bucket list experience for us and will definitely use Viator again for future trips.

5.00We had a wonderful time visiting such an incredible place but it was made even better by our tour guide, Andrew. He was well planned, friendly, and he provided a nice little history of Toronto landmarks and the Falls. The tourist tips he provided were very helpful. Thanks for a great experience.
Amazing

5.00Took this trip on our first full day in Toronto, with John as our guide. I would recommend this in a heartbeat, we also added a helicopter trip above the falls which, though expensive at $C 160 each, was an amazing once in a lifetime experience. The day was made by our guide John, who was absolutely exceptional. Highly recommended
Must do
