The tour highlights the Festival of Lights at Niagara Falls with a guided illumination drive and stops at key attractions. It starts in Toronto where guests board a coach at 11:30 AM from 55 York Street. The first stop is Maple Leaf Place for about 30 minutes to taste maple syrup, fresh fudge, and artisan chocolate while learning about syrup production and sampling Canadian treats. Next, visitors head to Table Rock Welcome Centre for up to 45 minutes to take photos near Horseshoe Falls or choose to have a Café Market Lunch that includes a starter, main dish, and drink, with vegetarian options available. Afterward, guests may descend 125 feet to the tunnels of Journey Behind the Falls, an optional 45-minute experience where the roar of the water is heard up close. As evening arrives, the tour continues with a drive through the Winter Festival of Lights along Niagara Parkway and Dufferin Islands Park. Visitors pass illuminated arches and nature-themed displays shimmering over still waters. This is followed by about two hours of free time at Clifton Hill to explore light installations, enjoy cafés, and take photos of winter-themed decorations like light tunnels and snowflakes. Before returning to Toronto, the group stops briefly at Queen Victoria Park to view the Falls illuminated in color, weather permitting. The return trip to Toronto lasts around two hours, allowing time to relax and share photos on the coach. The entire excursion lasts about 10 hours and includes a professional English-speaking guide, round-trip coach transport, and all tastings. Hotel pickup is not included, and gratuities are not covered.
