Overview

Experience the world-famous Niagara Falls on a full-day tour from Toronto. Travel in a late-model, climate-controlled coach through the Niagara Peninsula, arriving early so you’re among the first to board the iconic Hornblower Niagara Cruises boat (ticket included) for an unforgettable trip to the base of the Falls.

After the cruise, enjoy approximately two hours of free time to explore the area and nearby attractions. Then, sit down to an included lunch overlooking the Falls, soaking in spectacular views while you dine.

Following lunch, continue along the scenic Niagara Parkway to view the powerful Niagara Whirlpool. In the summer this tour will visit the charming town of Niagara-on-the-Lake and stop at Maple Leaf Place for a maple syrup tasting experience before returning to Toronto, in time for evening plans.
