★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 35 reviews · from $151

Travel from Toronto in a luxury mini coach with an English-speaking guide, see Niagara Falls from the Canadian side, and continue along the Niagara Parkway to Niagara-on-the-Lake. Depending on the season and option selected, you can ride the Hornblower boat or visit Journey Behind the Falls, Skylon Tower, or the SkyWheel. Guides such as Dan and Walter bring a personal touch.

“Our guide Dan was fantastic, kind, easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. The falls and boat ride were great with amazing close up view and lots of photo opportunities. Wine tasting was a slightly anti climatic and felt a little rushed compared to the rest of the tour, but overall a good experience and would recommend.”
