A Day At The Falls In Winter 2026

Ultimate Niagara Experience: High Value, Efficient, and Truly Authentic

5.00I recently joined this day trip from Toronto (Jan 22), and it was an incredibly efficient way to see the best of the region. As someone who values well-organized itineraries, I was thoroughly impressed. Highlights of the tour: The Falls & History: Including the Horseshoe Falls was the absolute highlight. An unexpected bonus was seeing the Nikola Tesla statue, which added a great layer of historical significance to the trip, given his role in the hydroelectric power of the falls. Authentic Tastings: The inclusion of both wine tasting and maple syrup tasting added a lot of cultural value to the trip. It wasn’t just about the views; it was about experiencing local Canadian flavors. Expert Multi-tasking: Our guide and driver were the same person, which I found very impressive. He was professional, shared great insights during the drive, and managed the timing perfectly to ensure a smooth experience for everyone. Final Verdict: If you are looking for a trip that hits all the major spots without wasting time, this is it. It’s great value for the price, especially for solo travelers looking for a hassle-free experience.
Great day

5.00We took this tour in August 2025. We had a great time. We got to see/do everything we wanted - we would have struggled to do this on our own. It was really good day.
An unforgettable experience!

5.00From start to finish, Suresh was informative, friendly and able to answer any questions and even went out of his way (twice) to enable some additional activities like helicopter flight. The trip, the information, the parking locations, the whole trip was very worth while - defo worth paying the extra for niagara takes flight, tunnel beneath the falls and actual helicopter flight around Niagara and the falls. (Were tours get discount in all too, so better value) suresh even pointed out where to queue, bypassed some queues too. He was an excellent tour guide and you would be lucky if you get him for sure. Queen tours also stayed in touch with us before the trip, with e-mails and then later WhatsApp messages to keep us informed of where and when to meet. Their communication was great, and made everything so easy. It was an unforgettable day! Thanks suresh and thanks Queen tours.
Great experience, great tour guide

5.00The shuttle bus was sharp on time and Tracy was an excelent tour guide. The experience was great and we do recommend it!
It was okay

4.00The experience was okay, but felt like it wasn’t organized properly.I believe that it was like that because it’s a tour with a lot of different people. Not all of them spoke English, the tour guide was a bit frustrated about it, so they were constantly late. We had a lot of independent time, but I would prefer it to be like a tour with a lot of history and fun facts.
Very kind tour guide she...
