Ultimate Niagara Falls Day Trip: Toronto & Boat Cruise!

A great way to see Niagara Falls! We were picked up by Bernard, who was a super driver and guide, providing lots of useful local and historical information as we travelled from Toronto to Niagara Falls. His instruction on where to be and when to be there was clear and without ambiguity. He checked multiple times that the guests on the tour understood the instructions and how to get the best out of their time on the tour. This included being mindful of pickpockets and the length of time it would take to do each part of the tour. We took a helicopter across the falls (optimal extra) which provided really breathtaking views and being able to see the expanse of the water ways. We then took a trip behind the falls before heading onto the Hornblower, for a ride across the basin. Top tip: wear waterproofs under your poncho because unless you sit inside the boat, you will get drenched. Keep your poncho on as you walk back to your meeting point as there is offer spray from the falls reaching the promenade. Bernard was on time to each pick up and drop off location, but unfortunately on our tour we had three awful French guests travelling with us who were disruptive, and rude, the entire time. They disregarded Bernard’s advice and request to be on time, tried to sneak into Journey Behind the Falls by claiming they didn’t understand the ticketing options (but they clearly did) and they delayed departure from the Flower Clock because they were smoking (and stank the bus out). Other than these awful guests, we had a great time on this tour. Tips: we went off season, so it was very, very quiet. I’d highly recommend this as I imagine in the peak season you’d be packed in like sardines and would have little time to really appreciate the views and experiences.

Fantastic trip. Driver guide was excellent & took us into the skylon tower, then came back to take us to Journey behind falls. We had nearly 4hours do do everything. (We left the boat till last so we could be dry for other experience,s. We got soaked from head to toe). Not many people there towards end October, so was able to get some good photos without other tourists in. Weather was cloudy, but didn't rain. View from Skylon tower was probably the best so worth doing if visibility is good.

Smooth travel and great guide by Bernard, knowledgeable and efficient. I really like that is not too tour guide heavy and you have plenty of time to explore the Niagara falls by yourself. Really recommend to do the boat experience!

A very informative tour, what an amazing experience, Bernad was a great guide, ask about the discounted helicopter rides over Niagara!!

Traffic was a bit of a pest but, otherwise, the tour was good. Great experience and the falls were immense.

Jeremiah our host/tour guide was great! I would recommend this tour for anyone. We schedule the boat and also were able to book the zip line through the tour service. We had a great time

Excellent. The driver was an expert on the road and very knowledgeable. He made the trip more enjoyable. The Niagara Falls was majestic.

Beautiful and thrilling. Everything was organized and efficient. Even if there is no room to hold onto the handles, the boat maneuvers through the waters safe enough for everyone to enjoy the upper floor of the deck.

It was a good tour; however, I expected a more organized guide and better orientation policies, as it was a little confusing without a printed or clear electronic guide.

The tour was excellent! The tour guide was knowledgeable and very personable. There were groups of people who were always late and very inconsiderate to the rest of us, the guide handled professionally and with patience.
