Embrace the season on a sparkling Niagara Falls winter excursion.
Depart Toronto in a comfortable coach to Niagara Falls.

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.

A Disappointing Experience

2.00I feel like the trip was missold as we skipped multiple listed points on the itinerary, with the only stop being the wine tasting and then Niagara Falls. We did not visit the Floral Clock, the Whirlpool, Queenston Heights Park, Table Rock Welcome Centre or the Power Station. We also paid extra to have dinner as it was a trip for our anniversary, but I feel this was ruined by the fact we had to share a table with another couple on the trip, despite the restaurant not being busy, which made the whole experience awkward and not enjoyable. Had it been advertised that the meal would be communal, we wouldn’t have selected this option and we would have made our own arrangements. Our driver and guide Michael was brilliant, very informative and kind throughout but overall I feel very let down with this tour.

3.00My group did not pass the vibe check. We had a few who could've save their money and our time by not coming. The driver was great and the guide was good too. However, I don't like being dropped off places when I paid for a guide. The guide kinda just passed us off to people. The dinner wasn't mind blowing to say the least. I didn't enjoy it at all and no one else seemed moved by it. It was a buffet style meal. The Falls fireworks lasted 5 minutes max. If I come back I'll be taking a different tour. This tour was definitely overpriced. This review has NOTHING to do with the performance of the guide or driver but moreso the company!!
Just Okey

4.00Was a really late. Came at 5.30 pm. to Niagara Falls, missed a lot of time. Traffic Friday. Driver was very polite. But needed to push people a little more to be in time on a bus.
Nice experience

5.00It was great, the trip in general and falls in particular. It was a visit during the winter, and I would recommend to do it in a warmer season.
Amazing experience!
