Very easy and informative tour from Toronto. Highly recommend- we didn’t wait at all and everything ran smoothly to do what we really wanted to, which is see the falls. The tour guide was also very pleasant and knowledgeable!
Kristen fantastic teacher and easy personality to be around. Greg so nice, safe, and capable driver. Both were thoughtful and considerate. Comfortable travel with small group. Easy pickup and delivery in downtown Toronto. Niagara on the Lake wonderful surprise. Would have liked more time there. Learning about ice wine and maple syrup was a tasty bonus. Definitely recommend!!
Very clean and comfortable small luxury bus. Super knowledgeable, friendly and helpful guide Peter, who shepherded us so well through the crowds, knew where to be to get the best photos and experience, and what to avoid. Funny and informative, very experienced.
The experience was first class from the moment we were picked up until we were dropped off in the evening. Christina and Michael went out of their way to ensure all details were taken care of.
A small-scale day trip with only the most important stops was very appealing to us. We were very satisfied with the information provided in advance, the driver, Michael, and especially with our tour guide, Margot.
The trip was seamless from pickup to drop off. Our hotel wasn't one of the listed pickup points however the offer to pick us up was very much appreciated. Our guide Margo and driver Micheal were prompt arriving and were extremely friendly. Once on the road we had great commentary about the surroundings on our journey with some really wonderful stops en route. Niagara on the lake was just so pretty and full of history. Well worth booking the trip just to stop at the this hidden gem. The falls itself were magnificent and the day planned perfectly. Ideally would have liked a little more time in Niagara on the lake to fully take in the town but the time provided was ample enough to visit some of the boutiques and wonder the town. Would highly recommend this tour and if you're on the fence due to the difference in price to others take our word for it that it is well worth the money. Thank you both for an unforgettable trip.
The summary I read on this site did not mention any extensive walking or stairs. In fact there was over 3 miles of walking and many stairs. On their own website this might be mentioned but on viator there was no mention of the physicality of the tour. My husband has both mobility and heart issues so this trip was not a good choice for him. Our fellow tour members were very kind and helpful. Our guide was not. I’m
It was a fascinating trip; the guide and driver were excellent. We were very pleased with the experience and will recommend it to all our family and friends.
What a great experience! The van was very nice and comfortable and Michael the driver was awesome. Patrick was so knowledgeable and talked us through everything. They both grew up in Toronto so they we were a wealth of knowledge! Patrick made the whole trip very memorable. The small town of Niagara on the falls was a great stop and Niagara falls is stunning. We made it home safely and my husband left a hat in the van and they were l so very nice to deliver it back. That was amazing! Thank you!!! Awesome experience!
Peter and Danny gave us an excellent itinerary and great information plus tips given for each stop. We were given plenty of time at each stop and managed to do everything we set out too. The falls were the highlight of the trip but we loved Niagara on the falls too!
