Mobile ticket
Embrace the season on a sparkling Niagara Falls winter excursion.
Depart Toronto in a comfortable coach to Niagara Falls.
First stop is a festive tasting at Maple Leaf Place—maple syrup, fresh fudge, and artisan chocolate set the mood.
At Table Rock, stand steps from Horseshoe Falls, then descend 125 feet for the tunnels of Journey Behind the Falls as the roar echoes around you.
Afterward, choose free time by the Falls or upgrade to our Cafe Market Lunch (starter, main, drink) to refuel.
As darkness sets in, your guide leads a grand illumination tour through the Winter Festival of Lights at Dufferin Islands, landmark displays along the Niagara Parkway.
Our last stop will be Clifton Hill for an extended free time, letting you explore the array of light and the neon buzz. Perfect spot for warm-up cocoa and photo moments.
On scheduled nights, cap it all with fireworks over the Falls—an unforgettable winter spectacle.

4.00Tour itself was great... but the texts about canceling it right before was annoying only to realize that it was a full tour bus with 20 people. Waiting to hear back about the refund for lunch that we weren't able to have...had to pay extra in cash to the tour guide to have a dinner at a hotel that wasn't even expecting us. We ended up at an ok dinner place, the view was so nice but the buffet style food was eehhhh. This takes nothing away from Johnny the tour guide who was knowledgeable & awesome the whole time. Went during a good time, cold but no lines. Do recommend the tour!
Niagara Falls for a Buck

3.00For those interested in viewing the Festival of Lights in Niagara Falls, a very economical trip can be undertaken by Megabus from Toronto for only a $1. Frequent service is provided in both directions with hourly departures and running express to the Falls. Niagara Transit now provides a bus connection from the terminal to the top of Clifton Hill, thus eliminating the need for a pricey WeGo ticket. Look for route 104. The festival itself now offers hot chocolate stands at various locations. Check their website for exact locations. Also, be sure to confirm the last bus for Toronto. Most trips end in the evening.
Beautiful

1.00Don’t book tours thru trip advisor there is no way to contact the operators They leave you on waiting with “contact” phones lines that are a lie Nobody writes you It’s you alone and no one even on site to guide you You are there with your family under a snow storm and absolutely nobody even texting you to give you any info It was not a good experience After an hour from the meetiting time someone wrote back Cause I kept looking for ways to contact to let me know the driver was late No compensation of any sort Not even an apology
Amazing views and hospitality.
