Niagara Whirlpool: Tours & Tickets

If you're pressed for time and want to do it all, this is the tour for you. We were looking for a tour that would easily take us to see Niagara falls and back again without worrying about travel and transfers, and that would provide us with a guide. This was so much more than that. Our tour guide Judy and driver Mike were incredible, making us feel welcome, and having such a wealth of knowledge of the whole of Canada and anecdotes that they were sharing throughout. The tour included a reasonable start time, and covered an excellent lunch buffet overlooking the Falls, plenty of time at the Falls themselves to walk around and enjoy the views, the boat ride on the Hornblower, some more time to relax and explore around the main part, a stop off at the picturesque town of Niagara on the Lake, and finally a stop for ice wine tasting. Fun, informative, and top value for money. I wouldn't have changed anything at all about the day - I would 100% recommend this tour, it was perfect.

The weather was shocking so the boats and helicopters were not running which kinda ruined the day for us. We were though very impressed with the guided tour and the bus. Salvatori was funny, entertaining, knowledgable and a really nice guy. You get enough time at each location and lunch from the sandwich bar was very good. The falls them self were not as big as I had imagined but are well worth seeing, $25 per person for going behind the falls is not really worth it as you can get decent views from above the falls. Overall a good day out and worth the early start to beat the traffic and the queues.

Our guide, Nathan, was so friendly and knowledgeable. He told us a lot about the history of Niagara Falls and Ontario during the drive. The tour was very organised and ran smoothly. We knew where and when we had to be at all times. Nathan also gave us great tips on things to do, see and eat. We had the perfect amount of free time at the falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake. The wine tasting was great too and I like that the tasting was at the end of the day. The bus was comfortable and clean. The group was a good size, too. I would recommend this tour to anyone visiting Toronto!

Pickup was prompt and all arrangements clearly explained. Getting to Niagara early had benefits for viewpoints being less crowded. The fact you paid extra for attractions worked well for us. The time at each location was about right. It was good being in a small group ( we were 7 but I think the bus held about 12). Thanks to Huri who was a good informative guide with a professional manner.

The only negative feedback I have is that we stopped at a lovely we village for one hour, but only spent about 20 minutes at the wine tasting. Apart from that everything else was absolutely fabulous, from the bus driver to our guide who was very informative but without being over the top as some guides can be. I would highly recommended this day trip to everyone who visits Toronto.
