Inclusions

Itinerary

1. The tour departs at 8:30 AM from 55 York Street, Toronto; the drive to Niagara Falls takes about 2 hours. Once the tour departs, your expert guide begins live commentary on the history of Toronto and the Falls.

   1.5 h

2. Enjoy free time at the Falls to explore on foot—grab lunch, snap photos, and browse—or use it to add attractions. Pick the Boat Cruise (skip-the-ticket-line + keepsake poncho) or Journey Behind the Falls (skip-the-ticket-line, year-round); in winter, when the boat doesn’t operate, we substitute Niagara Takes Flight.

   2 h

3. Upgrade to include skip-the-ticket-line entry to the Hornblower Boat Cruise (formerly Maid-of-the-Mist) with a souvenir keepsake rain poncho. **Winter substitution: When the boat is not operating, it may be replaced with Niagara Takes Flight as a substitution for the boat only (not an additional attraction).

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.
