Directions to meeting place and description of him self was great. Tall guy with red hair and beard. We would thoroughly recommend this tour.Thanks Andrew.

Toronto: Niagara Falls, Boat Ride & Journey Behind the Falls

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,354 reviews · 9 hours · from $122

Travel from Toronto or Mississauga to Niagara Falls with an English-speaking guide such as Tracy, Andrew, Paul, or John. Ride the Hornblower into the mist, walk behind the Horseshoe Falls, stop at the Whirlpool and Floral Clock, and taste maple syrup and chocolate. 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…”

15.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.”
