Overview

This full-day bus tour lasts about 9 hours and begins with a departure from 55 York Street in Toronto. Travelers ride a climate-controlled coach with reclining seats and WiFi as they head to Niagara Falls. Upon arrival, the tour aims to avoid crowds with an early visit. Guests who select the option can skip the ticket line and either take the Niagara Cruise boat (available April to November) with a keepsake poncho or visit the Journey Behind the Falls attraction in winter months. After the falls visit, there is free time at Clifton Hill for about one hour to take photos, shop for souvenirs, try the skywheel, or visit the arcade. The tour also includes an hour of free time at Niagara Falls itself. Next, the group stops at a local maple syrup tasting where participants sample various grades of syrup and maple-infused treats while learning about the syrup-making process. The coach then makes a brief stop at the Niagara Whirlpool rapids for about 15 minutes. The return route follows the Niagara Parkway passing sights including Floral Clock, Queenston Heights Park with Brock's Monument, Butterfly Conservatory, Laura Secord homestead, Fort George, and the Whirlpool Rapids. Guests have about one hour to explore Niagara-on-the-Lake's heritage district before the coach returns to Toronto, arriving after approximately two hours of travel. Lunch and gratuities are not included unless selected.
