What Our Guests Say

5/5 from 2605 verified guests

"We enjoyed the trip very much & our guide was excellent. He was friendly & helpful."

Amanda United Kingdom

"We had an amazing day with our guide John. He was so informative and helpful. We learnt so much about the city of Toronto and the Niagara Falls. He was very patient and allowed for many stops along the way for photos and bathroom. We loved the maple syrup and chocolate tasting as well as our stop at the Falls. We did the Journey Behind the Falls as the boat tour was not running and it was a great replacement. It was great to see the town of Niagara Falls but this stop could have possibly been shorter or we would have loved to have visited the town of Niagara on the Lake. However this did not take away from our enjoyment of the day as a whole. We would highly recommend this tour for anybody wanting to visit the Niagara Falls from Toronto."

Niamh Ireland

"An amazing day at an iconic landmark. Our driver, Paul, kept us informed at all times and was genuinely interested in making sure we had a safe and relaxed experience. Maple syrup tasting was included in our tour, and we added the ‘walk behind the falls’. Niagara Falls is nature at its most awesome, don’t miss the experience when in Toronto!"

"Had the best time. Unfortunately missed my morning pick up and Alex was very helpful to get me onto the 12pm pick up with Marian. Which actually worked out for the best. Marian was by far the most fun tour guide i could have asked for. She was fun, informative and highly collegiate. She also went out of her way to ensure the best for everyone in the bus which was a full mini bus of folks. She was very receptive on WhatsApp for directions and instructions. She was also very informative on additional add ons in Niagara. Overall we had a great time with her and would highly recommend this tour."

"It was a great day trip to Niagara Falls! Paul was very attentive and accommodating to our needs, especially when the heater in the van was getting too warm towards the end of our ride back to Toronto. Overall, a great experience, though in general it feels like there isn't enough time to explore everything around Niagara Falls, especially Clifton Hill."

Jessica United States

"I just joined this tour with my daughter from Japan today. Thanks to Kaleb’s perfect & great guidance, we had a wonderful and comfortable time throughout the entire day! Thank you so much, Kaleb! During the drive from Toronto to Niagara Falls, he kept explaining the history and highlights of the sights along the way, and the bus was filled with laughter all day long — it was truly a happy time. When we were leaving, we accidentally left a paper bag containing Japanese food we had brought with us on the bus — and to our amazement, Kaleb, who had already finished work and returned home, went out of his way to deliver it to our nearest station that very night! We have never had such a kind guide before! We were deeply moved by the thoughtfulness, kindness, and hospitality of this Canadian. We hope to enjoy another tour with Kaleb as our guide next time. xxx"

"We had a great day with Paul as our Guide. We had enough time to explore the area around the Horseshoe Falls on our own but Paul also explained a lot about Niagara Falls."

Anna Germany

"Mr Will & Adam Nice were incredible, both offering unique insights into Toronto & sharing their knowledge! We felt well looked after and the communication was great. 10/10 recommend to anyone interested in visiting the falls! There was also an opportunity to purchase the behind the falls tour tickets on the coach, which we decided to do. The Maple Syrup tasting was incredible!!!"

"Today we went on a tour with Pauly, bus number 5. He is a wonderful person—kind and very positive. It was a fantastic tour, made even more special thanks to him. He was friendly and super fun! We had already been to Niagara Falls in the past, but this time, thanks to him, the experience was much better. We will definitely come back, and we hope he’ll be there again! Thank you so much!"

Davide Italy

"Fantastic trip with a very friendly guide/ driver Andrew! He knows a lot about the Niagara Falls and Canada generally! Recommendable!"

"Trip was well worth it. Our guide, Andrew, was quite inciteful regarding Toronto and the surrounding areas. He was prompt and lead us well. He also allowed the group to do their own thing and wasn’t pushy. It resulted in a good chemistry with the group. I would recommend this tour to friends."

"Die Zeit verging sehr schnell. Der Transport vom vereinbarten Treffpunkt hat super funktioniert und unsere Reiseführerin kannte sich sehr gut aus. Sie war sehr bemüht, voller Motivation und sehr engagiert. Sie erklärte uns sehr viele spannende Dingen zwischendurch. Ich würde sofort wieder mit ihnen eine Tour buchen. Die Niagarafälle sind es auf jeden Fall wert gesehen zu werden."
