        Absolutely wonderful!
        I only have one suggestion regarding the tour. When a small group like we were (4 tourists) perhaps a vehicle that has bigger windows and the interior isn't quite so dark. Other than that, the tour was absolutely wonderful! Our tour guide Beatrice (B) was so knowledgeable, courteous and friendly. And our driver Mike was absolutely great. Definitely would recommend this tour and these two lovely individuals again and again! Check it for yourselves!

        Niagara a must.
        First time using Viator for anything and they did not disappoint us. 9hr day trip to Niagara stopping on way for maple syrup tasting then onto the Falls. Breathtaking. Our driver/ guide Sholz was superb giving details of the trip. His driving was excellent and we never felt worried although traffic was heavy at times.

        Best solo full day tour Niagra Falls
        Peter was the best tour guide! I had the absolute best time by myself but met amazing friends from around the world. Comfy new bus & great driver. Boat ride at the falls then buffet lunch with amazing views then a stop in the cutest town called Niagra on the lake! Then delicious wine tasting at hare wines! Highly recommended by my travel agency!

        Excellent trip to Niagara Falls and Beyone.
        Wonderful tour guide (Alex) and great driver (Hugo). Very entertaining and informative. Well organized, right amount of free time, several activites and experiences including the fabulous Niagara Falls boat trip, the whirlpool, a stroll through Niagara-on-the-lake with time to shop, and a trip to a vineyard and tasting. Great day. Well worth the money!

        A great way to experience Niagara Falls
        Very nice tour. The guide, Crystal, and the driver, Sam, did a fantastic job getting us there and leading our journey. Niagara Falls was amazing. Definitely take the boat ride! It’s incredible to get so close to the falls!!! Beware, you’ll get wet! The included lunch was very nice. The small town of Niagara on the lake is charming. Our final stop at the winery was much better than expected. We even purchased a few bottles of wine. Would highly recommend this tour from Toronto as an easy/great way to get to and from and to experience Niagara Falls.

        It was totally worth it! I do not remember his name, but our guide was from Sr Lanka and he was so friendly and professional. He gave us a lot of information about all the places we went. I would highly recommend to do the tour, it worth every cent and you will have a great experience with them ☺️

        Niagra Falls
        Finally decided to go to Niagra falls. Reached by 11.45 am from where busses took us to table rock area whee the fall was outstanding & there I made up my mind to stay a night, therefore went to Sheraton as it was the best as near to all attractions. After checking inn went outside for the boat ride which takes us near the fall. The experience was outstanding. After the boat ride came to hotel, got the room & went to sleep but in evening I changed the room as there was elevator sound like plane engine. Got a better & bigger room. Walked in night too as the area is big so had to cover. Slept at 12 am midnight.

        Highly recommend, fantastic day out.
        Coach was comfortable and cool with just the right amount of chatter from Daniel our guide, so we could watch the views. Great driving by Peter too. Niagara was breathtaking, boat ride amazing, lunch at the Sheraton was good, with great views of Niagara. Lake Niagara was cute, definitely visit the Xmas shop. The wine tasting was good. One suggestion - we waited 45 minutes for everyone to finish their boat rides so we could go for lunch, which is time we could have been exploring. I suggest an agreed time and meeting place near the Sheraton so we’re not all sitting around waiting.

        Definitely a worthwhile tour
        This tour to the Falls was amazing. I was able to cross visiting Niagara Falls from my bucket list of U.S. destinations to visit. Booking the tour was easy and efficient; payment (either book now pay later, or pay now) was easy. Confirmation of the pick up location was within easy walking from our hotel. Tour confirmation as well as cancellation process (if needed) were clear. There were also great attraction stops on the way as well as leaving the Falls. The driver, Peter, was excellent - providing commentary on sites and history of sites along the way to the Falls. The only negatives were the information regarding the exact pick up location, which could have been more precise as well as the identifying uniform of the driver (the driver wore an uniform which did not have a Trip Advisor nor Viator logo). I would definitely recommend this tour.

        Wonderful day trip to Niagara Falls & Niagara on the Lake
        We chose to book this particular tour as it includes a 1 hour visit to Niagara on the Lake, which had been recommended to us. And we are so glad we did - we had a fantastic day. Peter, our driver and guide, did an excellent job, gave us lots of interesting information and was very humorous. We hit pretty bad traffic both ways, but Peter adjusted the timings so that we could still enjoy the full itinerary. We had booked the optional Hornblower boat trip which was a fantastic experience - taking us so close to the incredibly powerful falls. We then had 1.5 hours to explore the falls area and we loved the walk up to Table Rock with amazing views along the way. After leaving the falls, Peter took us to a maple syrup tasting, a drive along Parkway showing us points of interest, a 1 hour stop at Niagara on the Lake (a lovely place to visit), and finally a wine tasting at a winery. It was a wonderful day, packed with lots of amazing sights and experiences, and full of information and fun.

        One day tour to Niagara Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake from Toronto
        Fantastic views, well organized tour. It would be great if not the fact that driver/guide didn't have a microphone! He was talking a lot explaining and telling stories which we in seats bit further from the driver haven't heard at all. So, going on this kind of trip sit as close to driver as possible..

        Great experience for us and our teens!
        We had a great time on this day trip from Toronto to Niagara Falls - us and our two teens! And if you have teens, you know that’s high praise. The driver/tour guide was knowledgeable and we learned about all kinds of things about both locations and in between. Michael was fabulous at his job! I’ve already recommended this day trip to my parents travel group who will be here later in the year.

      Loved the service and the experience. It was easy as it was all done for us like we wanted.. We got the small group package, which was not cheap but worth it. They did mention there was a wine tasting that ended up being a maple syrup tasting, didn't mind it, liked it as well.
      My only con would be that we get too little time at the village so we couldn't enjoy it much cause it was lunch time and we had kids that needed to eat something so didnt quite get to see the village, let alone the Lake, would have been nice.,and that would be sorted by getting back at 6.30 instead of 5.30 pm.
      Other than that our driver was so nice and told us so many stories, it made the trip easy and lovely.

      The morning of our tour, we received a phone call thru our hotel's operator that the tour company was calling. They proceeded to tell us that we were being picked up now and the driver was waiting for us. This was disturbing since they weren't scheduled to show up for another 90 minutes. Hence we rushed out with no breakfast and headed out for the 2-1/2 hour drive. Also when we questioned the earlier pickup, the coordinator/dispatcher proceeded to tell us that they left a voicemail & sent a text. When in fact all we found was an email that was sent at 8:45 pm the night before. Clearly we didn't check being on vacation. And if she truly sent a text & left a voicemail, then why did she call us that morning via our hotel's switchboard operator. Not a good thing lying to the customers.

      Hi Carol L, Thank you for the review. The original pick up time was scheduled for 8:35am, and we moved it up to 8:10am as our Niagara Falls tours depart at 9:00am. We are sorry to see that you never got the voicemail that was left on your room phone the day before at 7:36pm, as logged on the phone. We understand sometimes our guests don't know they are left a voicemail in the room. As means of back up we also sent you an email and left a message with the front desk. I am also sorry, however I do not see a record of any text messages being sent. I will follow up with the agent to see what number we would have texted. Sometimes, our clients travel from other countries and do not receive the text messages from the phone carrier until they arrive back home, which is why we use 3-4 alternative methods. Thank you

      I booked the trip for last Sunday at short notice and would like to thank Crystal for her excellent customer service.
      The trip was conducted by Roy who was just superb, in both his knowledge and friendliness and also guiding us to some wonderful sights. I enjoyed the Ice wine testing, the drive round a beautiful snow-blanketed Niagara-on-the-Lake with stops whenever we saw a photo opportunity, the whirlpool rapids, and then on to Niagara Falls. I had taken my photography gear and so it was great to have over 2 hours free-time there to capture some nice images in the snow. The weather was exceptionally cold but the falls were beautiful. The tour was fantastic and I'd definitely book another trip next time I'm in Toronto. Many thanks to Roy for a wonderful day!

      TripAdvisor should communicate with it's touring companies, here at their website said they included spanish audio guide,

      They didn't,

      They said they would pick me up at my hotel,

      They didn't,

      They said it included a wine tasting that lead me to believe it'd be at a winery house,

      It wasn't,

      They charged me almost 100CAD for a wine tasting at a store,

      I would not recommend this tour at all,
