Experience

It was a nice experience, especially for a first time. We didn't just visit Niagara Falls, we also got to explore several other places along the way. Everything was well organized, and I really enjoyed the trip. I highly recommend it!

Niagara falls trip

Sameer picked us up from our hotel. He explained the pick up process from the other hotels. Alex our guide fully explained the itinerary for the day. She gave us interesting information along the route. We had 3 hours in Niagara, then spent about half an hour at a maple syrup tasting. Had a quick stop to see the whirlpool then spent about 1.5 hours at Niagara on the lake before heading back to Toronto. A very enjoyable day. Other than the coach being a bit warm on the way back we can't fault our trip.

Fantastic day out with the perfect guide.

Prompt pickup downtown. Alex was a kind informative and helpful guide.. full of news about Toronto, history of the Falls and top tips to get the most out of the day. Kept us all on track without being over bearing and made it enjoyable. The Maple Syrup stop is short but sweet! Great views at the whirlpool. Icecream at Niagara-on-the-Lake was worth waiting for but v busy. Hugo got us back in good time through crazy World Cup traffic!
