Here’s an insight into the tour itinerary- what happens on the tour and what ground we cover.

Step 1: Pick Up

toniagara-pickupYour Niagara Falls Day tour begins when we pick you up for the tour, for the 90 mins ride to Niagara Falls. The pick spots are spread all over the GTA: Toronto, Mississauga, Brampton and Etobicoke and we cover a lot of hotels in those areas. Check out our FAQ section to see a more comprehensive list. Chances are that we do have your hotel in our list of pick up spots too, making it very convenient for you to catch the Niagara Falls tour busl! As they say- a good start to a journey, always assure a good rest of the journey too! All are luxury tour buses offer power outlets in the bus for you to keep your phone charged, or use it with your laptop and other electronic devices!

Step 2: At the Niagara Falls

At the Niagara FallsAfter the 90 mins journey on the road, we arrive at Niagara Falls. This is the beginning of your Day tour with the tour of the surrounding area and the captivating sight of the three falls that make up Niagara Falls. Walk the pathway along side the Falls with your group and learn about the interesting bits about the Falls from your tour guide!

On a side note- we believe that having a good, knowledgeable tour guide is great. But what is equally important is a friendly tour guide that can connect to the group and someone whom you can easily approach over the course of the tour. Our tour guides, you will see, are trained to do just that! So much so, that people remember to mention their names and thank them in their reviews of the tour! That is how it should be done, when you want to become one of the best Niagara Falls tour operator, don’t you think so?

Step 3: Hornblower Niagara Cruise

Hornblower Niagara CruiseThis is one of most famous activities on Niagara Falls! It just had to be a part of our tour itinerary! When you go on your own, you will find huge line ups waiting to get the tickets on the cruise, especially in the peak seasons of spring/summer. But when you book a tour with us-there is no waiting in line and no paying for the tickets on top of your tour price! The admission is quick, easy and painless and focused only on the fun! Being on the HornBlower is quite an experience! You get to view the Falls so up close, that the poncho on this ride is a must have to save your clothes from getting wet!

Step 4: Explore!

ExploreJust before lunch (which is the next step) you get some time off and away from the group to do some exploration on your own. Do some walking along the Falls, or stroll the garden, or just shop at the several souvenir shops in the area! Don’t worry about getting lost and broken away from your group! You will have the To Niagara lanyard with all the information handed to you at the beginning of the trip, to always get you in touch with us easily! And we know, that parents with minor kids on our tour, tend to like this lanyard idea a lot!

Step 5: Food Time

FoodTimeFor lunch, we meet at the Sheraton Fallsview restaurant, for their large buffet spread! Catering to all types of tastes and diet preferences, we chose this buffet especially for the huge variety of foods it offers on its menu. Our clients have told us that this is one the best Niagara Falls tour feature, and they tend to really enjoy the luncheon spread. Moreover, the lunch is served on the penthouse floor of the hotel- so you eat while enjoying the spectacular view of the Falls!

Step 6: Scenic Niagara Falls Drive

Keep in mind though, that our evening Niagara Falls tour is available on Fridays and Sundays ONLY. This coincides with the days of the week they usually have the Light Show at night on Niagara Falls! (Check a more seasonal and updated schedule here.) And yes, it coincides by design! We wouldn’t want to take you on any other day where you are sure to miss it all, now would we!?

Let’s look at this tour’s itinerary; as well as an insight into what makes this one of the best Niagara Falls evening tour out there!

Step 1: Evening tour Pickup

There are not too many ways to execute this and so this part is pretty much the same! We pick you up from the pickup spot you choose.

Once on the bus, we begin our 90 min ride to Niagara Falls.

Step 2: Whirlpool Rapids

On the evening tour, we whisk you away to first see the Whirlpool Rapids – a natural occurring phenomenon! Witness the power of Niagara River and watch the frothy white waters of the rapids in the Niagara Gorge! When the waters of the rapids combine, the spin counterclock wise – creating the famous Whirlpool Rapids!

Step 3: The Falls and Hornblower Cruise

This is where you will now arrive at the main star of the tour- the Niagara Falls themselves! You get to see the Falls of course, but you also get to be up close and personal with them on the famous HornBlower cruise on the Falls! The best part of taking this cruise- no waiting in lines for tickets or the ride itself! Why? Because you are on a tour with one of the best Niagara Falls evening tour operators, that’s why!!

Step 4: Off to the Wineries

No good vacation tour to the Niagara Falls is complete without adding a little wine to the mix! Don’t you agree! Go with us, one of the best Niagara Falls Evening tour operator in Ontario- and rest assured that that part of the tour will be taken care of, by us! And the best part- all the wine tasting is complimentary!

Step 5: Niagara- On- The- Lake

Niagara-on-the-lake is a beautiful, quaint little town. Named as the Prettiest Town in Canada by Communities in Bloom, it is a must visit place for anyone going to see Niagara Falls. You spend 45 minutes strolling the historical town and taking in the sights. From there, at around 7:30 pm, you are taken to see the Smallest Chapel in the World. This is one portion of the tour that we as one of the best Niagara Falls tour operators are especially proud of because you won’t see this destination on the itinerary of most of the tour operators out there! We bet you will fall in love with this quaint little town, just as we are so in love with it!

Step 6: Queenston Heights

Located at the top of the Niagara Escarpment, Queenston Heights is a place for history as well as leisure lovers! This is another one of those famous scenic locations in Niagara Falls. This makes for an excellent adult as well as kid friendly place, which is why we have included this one, in our well thought out and planned itinerary.

Step 7: Food time

Time to eat! We take you off for a delicious buffet spread at the Sheraton Fallsview penthouse level restaurant! The buffet spread is huge and impressive and would accommodate most food likes and dislikes as well as most diets! You can enjoy a nice meal, whilst looking at the beautiful falls from the restaurant’s spectacular dining room! Not to mention that this is a great photo opportunity!

Step 8: Fireworks!

And last…butdefinitely not the least, comes the spectacular fireworks show! This truly is one sight to see and behold!

After the fireworks, you hop on the luxury bus again and are dropped off to your preferred location. With good food in your tummy and lots of great experiences of the day, you will fall asleep smiling!

The Niagara Falls Day tour and Niagara Falls evening tour are our most popular tour options for tourists!

But there is one other way of enjoying at the Falls – where you don’t compromise on the trip plan at all BUT you get your own individualized, customized tour! And all, at the same high standards of customer care! Love the sound of that? Then keep on reading all about the Niagara Falls Private Tour option!
