Overview
Available languages
3 hours 15 minutes
Mobile ticket
Once inside the Skylon Tower you will ascend 520 ft. in a glass elevator to the observation deck where you will be treated to an incredible, birds-eye view of all three Niagara Falls (Bridal Veil Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and the American Falls), as well as the Niagara River and surrounding area.
You will have descend 125 ft (approx. 40m) to explore cave-like tunnels behind the Falls at Journey Behind the Falls. This experience is a treat for the senses as you’ll be able to not only hear the falls but feel them as well.
Then take the Niagara City Cruises boat cruise for an up-close look at the falls (seasonal: May to December), at which point your tour will come to a close and you and your guide will part ways. On your cruise, you will sail around the Niagara gorge and get as close as possible to the Falls.
In winter and spring months, the cruise is replaced with Niagara Takes Flight.

5.00Kingsley was a very good guide. He had alot of history and facts that we would not have known ourselves without talking this tour. Yes we could have planned this trip on our own but having the knowledge of a guide was much better
Well Worth It

5.00Our first visit to Niagara Falls was absolutely amazing. We booked the Journey Behind the Falls excursion with See Sight Tours, and it exceeded our expectations from beginning to end. The package included the Skylon Tower, Journey Behind the Falls, the boat ride, railway, and several other activities that made the experience unforgettable. Our tour guide, Ryan, was fun, informative, personable, and made the entire day even more enjoyable. He kept our small group engaged while sharing great information about the area and attractions. Every activity was well organized, and the views were breathtaking. I would absolutely visit again and highly recommend this tour package to anyone visiting Niagara Falls for the first time. It was truly an incredible experience.

5.00Emery had plenty of very interesting facts and stories about Niagara Falls. Gave everyone time at each stop and didn’t rush anyone. Also gave some recommendations on other things to do while we were in the area. Would definitely recommend

Great Sites, Subpar Guide

2.00The stops on the tour were exactly what we wanted, and enjoyed those. I would have given this more stars, except for our tour guide. He arrived right at the start time (other guides were starting to get worried as there were 4 groups doing the same tour), not very professional, did not have good conversation/banter with the guests, and was kind of just annoying. We considered just asking for our tickets and going to the sites ourselves.
