This afternoon and nighttime tour, which includes all meals, is the perfect way to start an amazing journey around Niagara Falls. The schedule is designed to showcase Niagara’s finest features.
Commence by having a certified tour guide pick you up in Toronto, Mississauga, and Niagara Falls and provide commentary. It takes nine hours if you leave Toronto and five hours if you start in Niagara.
The tour starts at the well-known Floral Showhouse, where you can take stunning pictures of changing flower arrangements. The Journey Behind the Falls will next get you up close and personal with the Canadian Horseshoe Falls.
Dinner consists of a three-course meal at a well-known Niagara restaurant, with a view of the waterfalls. An exclusive VIP tour of Illumination Tower, where the waterfalls’ nighttime colors are controlled, is a unique aspect of the experience.
You can control the lights yourself and observe how it’s done! Experience the Winter Festival of Lights, a stunning bonus consisting of 75 light displays with 3 million lights, from November 18 to January 7.

2. Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse
We go to the Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse first! This will serve as a rest area following the journey from Toronto. Just a short stroll south of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls, explore this garden haven.
You will want to return time and time again because of the three major exhibit houses, the gorgeous tropical lobby, and the Life on exhibit miniature village collection.
Every year, the Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse hosts a number of floral displays honoring significant occasions, neighborhood gatherings, and the splendor of the natural world. The amazing year-round displays of orchids, succulents, and other tropical plant species are not to be missed.
30 Minutes – Free Entry Ticket
3. Journey Behind The Falls
Although you must first drop 125 feet and go through 130-year-old tunnels carved out of the bedrock to reach the heart of Niagara, you will sense the roar of the Horseshoe Falls long before you really see them.
You will be in awe (and perhaps a little wet) at the observation deck at the base of this 13-story wonder, but don’t miss the viewing portals that cut straight through the rock, providing a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see one-fifth of the world’s freshwater rushing down in front of you.
1 Hour – Free Entry Ticket
4. Table Rock House Restaurant
Savor a three-course lunch at Table Rock Restaurant while taking in the breathtaking views of the waterfalls!
Dinner consists of the following: house salad and chef’s soup of the day; choice of entrees: herb-crusted chicken supreme; maple-vidal roasted garlic glaze; broiled fresh rainbow trout; and choice of entrees: lemon pepper-berry rub and riesling dill sauce.
• Seasonal dessert; • Freshly brewed coffee, decaffeinated coffee, hot tea, milk, or soft drink; • Entree Choice #5: Wild Mushroom Ravioli; • Entrees served with seasonal vegetables and baby arugula pesto cream sauce.

5. Illumination Tower
Niagara Falls is changed into an amazing, multicolored water and light artwork every evening starting at sundown. Three locations—deep within the Niagara Gorge, across from the American Falls; on the top of Table Rock Center, at the edge of Horseshoe Falls; and at the Illumination Tower, near to Queen Victoria Place—are home to special lights.
When combined, these lights produce an incredible, must-see vision of the waterfalls. You will have the greatest views of the waterfalls at night and have control over the lights as part of your Illumination Tower trip.
