  • Please note: The iconic Niagara City Cruises boat ride is seasonal and typically operates from May to October, weather permitting. If your tour is scheduled before the official start of the boat season, the boat ride will not be included. We appreciate your understanding and are happy to answer any questions prior to booking!)

What you'll do

  • Your fun-filled, Niagara Falls tour begins with a complimentary downtown hotel pick up in the comfort and style of a Mercedes Metris van before heading to your first stop at the Skylon Tower.
  • At the Skylon Tower, ascend 520 ft. in a glass elevator to the observation deck where you will be treated to an incredible, birds-eye view of all three Niagara Falls (Bridal Veil Falls, Horseshoe Falls, and the American Falls), as well as the Niagara River and surrounding area.
  • Once you get back on the ground, your next stop will have you descend 125 ft (approx. 40m) to explore cave-like tunnels behind the Falls at Journey Behind the Falls. This experience is a treat for the senses as you’ll be able to not only hear the falls but feel them as well. The tunnels lead to two observation decks, giving you the perfect photo opportunity.
  • After your visit to Journey Behind the Falls, we will take you to board the Niagara City Cruises Voyage To The Falls Boat Tour (seasonal, operating May - October only, replaced with admission to Greg Frewin Theatre to see "Niagara: miracles, myths & magic" and Butterfly Conservatory in the winter months). On your cruise, you will sail around the Niagara gorge and get as close as possible to the Falls. You can expect to feel the refreshing mist on your skin during this boat ride but don’t worry, you will be provided with a recyclable rain poncho.
  • During the final portion of your tour, your guide will take you on a narrated driving tour of the city where you will learn about Niagara’s rich history and distinct geography. During the driving portion of your tour, your guide will take you to several points of interest including the Dufferin Islands, the International Control Dam, the Old Scow, Whirlpool Rapids, and the Floral Clock.
  • Enjoy complimentary downtown hotel drop you off to conclude your tour.

Excellent tour, fantastic guide - he showed us so much in just one day, way more than we could have seen on our own. Being a statutory holiday, traffic was very heavy and slow, but our guide knew how to find alternate routes around the city to save time. Absolutely delighted; highly recommend.

It was unfortunate we could not go on the boat but Martine still made our trip a good one. She was very knowledgeable of the falls and had lots of great stories to tell. A memorable day.
