Lunch is independent, and winter boat trips may be replaced by Niagara Takes Flight.

“What an incredible day, Niagara is absolutely stunning and at this time of year with less crowds you can take your time to enjoy it. I'd highly recommend the activities "take flight" and "behind the falls" we loved them both. The maple syrup and wine stops added to the day but there is no doubting the star of the show. Andrew our guide was an absolute sweetheart and worked hard to make sure everyone had a great day despite the varied demands of the group. The only one downside was the heating was broken on the bus, but given that we were all dressed for the weather this wasn't a…”

9.Niagara Falls Tour from Toronto: Boat Ride & Journey Behind Falls

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,267 reviews · 9 hours (approx.) · from $57

Spend about nine hours seeing Niagara Falls from several angles on a small-group trip from downtown Toronto. Add the Hornblower boat ride, Journey Behind the Falls, and Skylon Tower. Guides such as Haroon and Shahz are known for clear instructions and steady timing. Maple syrup tasting and free time at Clifton Hill round out the day.

“An enoyable tour, the sights were great and I really liked the Journey Beyond The Falls options, which I probably would not have done otherwise. I found the maple syrup tasting part a little cliche and fake for tourists. Tour guide was good but not as entertaining as other tours I've taken. Was a little put off at the end of the tour they offered a free gift for a review, clearly meant to pump up reviews and i found it disingenuous.”

“Joe P was an amazing guide, so knowledgeable and funny. The trip was great, only complaint is that there weren’t enough hours in the day! The boat trip was amazing and Joe took us right down to the dock. We didn’t get the lunch included but went to the same restaurant and ordered off the menu, the food was great and the view outstanding. And the food prices were also reasonable. Niagra on the lake was a beautiful town, felt like I was on TV in the Good Witch! I would definitely take the tour again if I was in Canada. We went on the smaller bus from Toronto Bus…”
