Wonderful Niagara

5.00Peter was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable and friendly. The schedule was very well thought out, and we had the perfect amount of time in each place. The included experiences were great touches and very worth it, despite being winter, and was very worth the price. I liked that it was a smaller group, as it made it feel more personal and less formal. Pick up location was also very convenient. Would love to do it again, next time in the summer.
Best niagara falls tour. Canada

5.00Alex and Pete were extraordinary. Pete drives very well, very carefully. Alex knows everything very well. It is very organized and explains everything we will be seeing during the day. Very useful and entertaining historical information. Two suggestions. Having at least 15 minutes more is the falls and reducing that time at the post-fall stop. The labeling of the bus is some moments reduces visibility. Otherwise I recommend 100% this tour and of course to Alex and a pete
Tour to Niagara Falls Surprising!!!

5.00Great tour today even in a snow blizzard. Our tour guide Alex was friendly, helpful and full of knowledge. We had a great view from behind the falls and a lovely trip to niagara on the lake and a little maple tasting. Both Alex and our bus driver were great and friendly especially with last minute changes due to the weather. would definitely recommend this tour

5.00We have just returned from the Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto (9 hour trip with boat and behind the falls), and we loved every minute! Our guide, Alex, was fun and friendly and she made the experience unforgettable, narrating with key info and local history at various points along the tour. Surprisingly we managed to get on the boat cruise, even though these were advertised as not available/out of season (still running in late December 2025) and also the Behind the Falls experience. It was very quiet at this time of year and no queuing by the time we arrived - mid morning. It was very cold (-10 centigrade) at the rim overlooking Niagara Falls and everything was covered in layers of ice making the scenery even more natural and raw, absolutely stunning! Our stop at Niagara-on-the-Lake was also spectacular and we enjoyed exploring this beautiful little town that looks like a scene from a Christmas movie. There’s a lot of time spent travelling by coach (5+ hours) and thank you to our driver, Hugo. If you’re considering this tour, don’t hesitate, it's worth every penny! Highly recommended.
Great tour

5.00I had an absolutely joyful day on the Niagara Falls tour from Toronto! Our guides, Alex and his team from Gray Line Toronto, were thoroughly professional and organized. They made sure we skipped the lines for the boat cruise, giving us more time to enjoy the breathtaking views. The detailed itinerary also included a lovely visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake and a delightful maple syrup tasting. Their enthusiasm made the experience even more memorable. Highly recommended!
