Highlights
This guided tour combines the region’s top experiences into one seamless day with round-trip transportation from your downtown Toronto hotel. Explore Niagara Falls from above, behind, and right at the base with admission to the Skylon Tower, Journey Behind the Falls, and a Niagara City Cruises boat ride (May–December, replaced by Niagara Takes Flight in winter). Begin at the Skylon Tower, riding a glass elevator 520 feet up for panoramic views of all three waterfalls and the Niagara River. Next, descend approximately 125 feet at Journey Behind the Falls to explore tunnel-like passageways and stand on observation decks just steps from the cascading water. Then board the Voyage to the Falls Boat Tour, sailing through the Niagara Gorge and feeling the mist as you get as close as possible to the Falls, with a complimentary poncho provided. Enjoy a narrated drive past landmarks before relaxing on the return drive to your downtown Toronto hotel.

About Toronto
Toronto is Canada's biggest city, set on the shore of Lake Ontario, a patchwork of neighbourhoods under the tall needle of the CN Tower.
The CN Tower, 553 metres high, dominates a downtown skyline of glass towers, and the harbourfront below runs along Lake Ontario with ferries to the largely car-free Toronto Islands. The Royal Ontario Museum and the Art Gallery of Ontario are major collections, the St Lawrence Market is a long-established food hall, and the Distillery District has cobbled lanes between Victorian brick factories.
Top-ranked sights in Toronto: CN Tower, St. Lawrence Market, Entertainment District.
