Itinerary

1. 55 York St
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.
Duration: 5 mins
2. Niagara 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.
Duration: 180 mins
3. Niagara City Cruises
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).
Duration: 30 mins
4. Journey Behind the Falls
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)
Duration: 30 mins
5. Niagara Takes Flight
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.
Duration: 30 mins
6. Maple Leaf Place
Maple syrup, fudge, and chocolate tasting along the Maple Trail at Maple Leaf Place. Add-on an optional Canadian-themed lunch
Duration: 60 mins
7. Niagara Whirlpool
Your unforgettable visit to Niagara Falls continues to the stunning Whirlpool Rapids observation deck.
Duration: 15 mins
8. Niagara Parks Power Station
As we drive past the Niagara Power Generating Station, you’ll witness one of the world’s oldest and most significant hydroelectric power plants. Opened in 1922, this facility harnesses the immense power of the Niagara River to generate electricity for both Canada and the United States. It stands as a testament to the early use of renewable energy and the groundbreaking engineering that made it possible. While we won’t be stopping, you’ll have a chance to admire the station’s impressive structure and learn about its vital role in providing power to the region. The Niagara Power Generating Station is a key part of the area's history, and its continued operation highlights the importance of the Niagara River’s natural resources in shaping the region’s development.
9. Floral Clock
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.
