Itinerary
1. 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.
2. 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.
3. 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).
4. 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)
5. 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.
6. Maple syrup, fudge, and chocolate tasting along the Maple Trail at Maple Leaf Place. Add-on an ptional Canadian-themed lunch
7. Your unforgettable visit to Niagara Falls continues to the stunning Whirlpool Rapids observation deck.
8. 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.
