Had a wonderful experience! Really enjoyed seeing not only the Niagara Falls, but the surrounding areas as well. Travelled solo but met some nice people on the same tour. Big recommend!

Itinerary
The tour departs at 8:30 AM from 55 York Street, Toronto; the drive to Niagara Falls takes about 2 hours. Once the tour departs, your expert guide begins live commentary on the history of Toronto and the Falls.
Enjoy free time at the Falls to explore on foot—grab lunch, snap photos, and browse—or use it to add attractions. Pick the Boat Cruise (skip-the-ticket-line + keepsake poncho) or Journey Behind the Falls (skip-the-ticket-line, year-round); in winter, when the boat doesn’t operate, we substitute Niagara Takes Flight.
Upgrade to include skip-the-ticket-line entry to the Hornblower Boat Cruise (formerly Maid-of-the-Mist) with a souvenir keepsake rain poncho. **Winter substitution: When the boat is not operating, it may be replaced with Niagara Takes Flight as a substitution for the boat only (not an additional attraction).
Upgrade to include a skip-the-ticket-line entry for Journey Behind the Falls, an experience with the closest views to the Falls (available year-round)
During the winter months, usually from December to April when the boat is not available, it will be substituted with Niagara Parks’ Niagara Takes Flight. This new immersive flying theatre includes motion seats, wrap-around dome, and wind/mist effects that “fly” you over the Niagara River.
Get the closest view of the falls at this amazing stop that captures the water flowing over the falls. Best stop for photos!
Your unforgettable visit to Niagara Falls continues to the stunning Whirlpool Rapids observation deck.
Views of the water creating hydro-electricity.
Nestled along the scenic Niagara Parkway, the Floral Clock is one of Niagara Parks’ most beloved and photographed landmarks. This unique horticultural timepiece features a vibrant display made up of over 16,000 seasonal flowers and plants, which are meticulously arranged to create a beautiful and ever-changing design. The clock face spans 40 feet in diameter and is fully functional, with hands that actually tell time.

It was beautiful. Powerful Niagara fall surrounded by warm colors- red, orange, yellow and gold. It was an amazing experience, and I hope to come again one day. Roger (with his dry humor) was a great tour guide!!! Thank you Roger!!
We had a great time! The tour to the falls was spectacular , great guide! Thank you Roger We got what we pay for it!
Absolutely brilliant guide. The trip was well organised and the scenery was stunning. It was great that punctuality of everyone on the trip was prioritised. I thoroughly enjoyed behind the falls and the boat.
The Niagra Falls day trip with boat ride was exceptional. Our hosts Sameer and Alex were very entertaining and had great humour and patience throughout the day curating and commentating on the sights and history of the region. Will remain in our memories for a long time how incredible the tour was and seeing the falls up and close. Alex was a wonderful guide with her impressive multilingual repoire with passengers from many countries on the day. Would highly recommend this day trip to anyone wanting an experience that will last a long time
We had a lovely time. The tour guides, Alex and Sameer were kind, prompt, and did a great job explaining how to maximize our time along the tour. We were blessed with gorgeous fall weather and lighter crowds as well! Our fave part was the boat tour! They mean it when you say you get wet, but it’s a blast!
Mr. Roger was very nice, funny and professional! We would recommend this journey trip to everyone! Thank you and all the best! Hans & Soukaïna / Switzerland
The trip was very well organized. It took the stress out of using public transportation. We saw a large amount of sites
Very nice bus trip, driver, Roger, made it enjoyable and wonderful to enjoy the whole day with family and friends.
Well rounded trip. We did the boat ride which was really the only thing on our must do list. Believe the tour guide when they say you’ll get wet. The Niagara town visit was nice. Could have spent more time there but it was too much time for my teenagers. Would make a good solo pit stop some other time. I appreciated your operator was on time and was a great communicator.
Interesting and informative, Peter our guide gave us lots of information on the area starting with Toronto and on our journey to Niagara.Once at the falls he quickly an efficiently guided us to the attraction and gave us clear information on what to expect and when to return to the coach. At the boat ride we boarded very quickly and had excellent advice on staying dry! The whole trip was fun, informative and interesting and there was ample time for gift shopping and for lunch. So glad we booked this tour
Had an awesome time, lots of great spots
This tour is totally worth your time and money! I had a fantastic time and was lucky enough to end up having Roger as our tour guide. He was excellent. Very funny, informative and attentive. Highly recommend this for anything traveling to Toronto. I literally had 2 and a half days in town and am beyond happy I got to experience Niagara Falls. Muchas Gracias Roger. From Karol G’s twin : )
Roger was a great tour guide very knowledgeable, funny and kind. Loved seeing the falls and the experience of the tour! 100 % recommended!
Amazing tour guide and driver, very knowledgeable. Everything went so smoothly. Stops were great. Thanks
Overall superb and great experience! Guide was great!
Everything perfect, I would recommend that to everyone. Roger was amazing and funny, he made our trip a special moment
Luis and Lisa were amazing. Luis was a wealth of information, rifling off fact after fact of every thing we drove by. Lisa was a heck of a driver driving the large coach that sat us all comfortably with a washroom and air conditioning. They kept us on schedule and got us to each excursion with no issues. At one point one of the passengers was late to get on and they tracked them down ensuring no man was left behind. The tour was well worth the money and was an absolute blast. We would recommend this to everyone.
It is a fun day, and the Falls and the boat trip are a definite must-see. The time to spend in Niagara after the boat trip was generous. Some of the other parts of the trip are a bit rushed, especially Niagara-by-the-Lake (a 1 hour stop but you need to keep 15 minutes of that for walking from the car park to town and back). A lot of crawling in Toronto rush-hour traffic on the way back. Alex was a very good guide.
Fantastic guides supporting you all the way.
Amazing tour guide! Great amount of times and stops
Alex and Sameer were both exceptionally courteous and professional throughout the tour. Sameer welcomed us warmly and energetically, providing clear, comprehensive, and timely information from the very beginning. Alex was outstanding—engaging, entertaining, and presented everything in a truly captivating way. Both of them had a wonderful sense of humor, which made the experience even more enjoyable. It was a real pleasure to be part of this trip.
Amazing, informative and humorous, would recommend!
I appreciated the guide. She was very thorough. She made sure to keep track of everyone on the bus and that no one was lost in the process of different excursions. I like that she was knowledgeable about Toronto history and Niagara history. All of the guides were helpful and kind and very welcoming. It was really worth it.
A truly magical day. Boat ride to the Falls, visiting behind the Falls, and visiting Niagara by the Lake. The guides Crystal and Lisa were exceptional.
Excellent experience, very knowledgeable tour guides made the day well worth the money spent. 5 stars!
This is very well organized, with clear instructions, details on timing, numbers to call if needed. Overall a great experience. Alex (guide) and Sameer (driver) were terrific!
We had a wonderful experience. We were traveling with a toddler and Salim was so helpful with tips. He was engaging during the whole tour too. We appreciated having him as a tour guide. Taking this bus was so easy and took the stress of parking and ticket buying for experiences off our plate. Highly recommend.
We enjoyed the whole experience from start to finish to finish. Our guide was professional and friendly and shared very interesting facts with us. I would recommend with guided tour to friends and family.
Alex was an excellent tour guide. Friendly and knowledgeable staff. Great experience overall
An experience we'll never forget! It started with curb side pick up from our hotel and then off to the Falls. The bus ride went by quick with Alex on the mic and Sameer behind the wheel. We parked and Alex had The Horn Blower all set up for us getting the tickets and leading the way down to the boat. MAKE SURE YOU GET THIS OPTION! The Horn Blower will be something you won't forget and we had plenty of time to walk around and take pictures and enjoy the falls. After that they took us for syrup and chocolate tasting and then to Niagara on the Lake, which was a great final touch to the day. The bus ride back was quick and painless and we got the same curb side service drop off back at our hotel in Downtown Toronto. Toronto is a great city but visiting and not doing a day trip to Niagara Falls would make it incomplete. I highly recommend using Gray Line and I wouldn't hesitate to do this again. Thank you Alex and Sameer!
Great experience. Schedule was just right and the tour guide was very knowledgeable.
Fantastic experience ! The Tour guide was very kind and prepared.
Great tour - highly recommended *****
Great experience, thanks Alessandra and Samer!!! I suggest to book the full experience 🥳🥳🥳📣🤓💪😄
The whole tour was amazing, Alex was a fantastic guide. I would highly recommend for anyone looking to try this tour.
Thank you, Alex and Sameer, for the great tour experience. We really enjoyed our Niagara Falls tour. They both assisted us and helped us through the day. Rey and Phil from the Philippines❤️
The guide was well organized and kind.
Very Good expérience ! Great day
so fun and insightful. definitely recommend
Visit to Canadian side of falls, including boat ride, behind the falls, whirlpool and Niagara on the Lake. All were excellent, apart from behind the falls which was very crowded, rushed and little to see in time available.
First time in Toronto and Niagara Falls was on our bucket list and I have to say it didn’t disappoint. From pick up to drop off and all the information from our guide and driver (sorry forgot the names ) was first class (18 June 2026). Highlight of the day was the boat trip to experience this was phenomenal as you can’t really put this into words you have to do it for yourself.
Alex and Samir were really friendly and knowledgeable.
Awesome trip, Alex and Samir were great and so helpful, kudos to them!
Alex and the driver were very nice, attentive and provided good tips on spots to go. Would certainly recommend them to other people.
Wonderful experience, tour guide was kind from the first moment we met her.
There was no queue today for the boat, so we had sometime to eat and explore. Everything went smoothly! Alex and Sameer were great!
Our guide Alex is super nice, and she shared great tips of experiencing the essence of Niagara Falls. Great trip!
A beautiful day. Great experience on the boat. An insightful walk in Niagara Lake. Our guide and driver made a great team. Our guide was very knowledgeable. The highlight was the boat trip around the falls.
Great guide, great tour...absolutely recommended
