Experience Niagara Falls from Toronto in a Full-Day Tour

4.7 (1,445 reviews) · By Gray Line Toronto

Escape the busy streets of Toronto and discover the breathtaking natural beauty of Niagara Falls on this full-day Niagara Falls day tour from Toronto. Relax in a comfortable, climate-controlled coach with WiFi, and enjoy the scenic drive as you head toward one of the world's most famous waterfalls.

Arriving early, you'll beat the crowds and get up-close views of the falls. Choose between a thrilling boat cruise (April to November) or the Journey Behind the Falls (winter months) to experience the power and majesty of Niagara Falls firsthand. Both options include a keepsake poncho to stay dry as you get soaked in the awe-inspiring spray.

After your main attraction, enjoy free time for photos, shopping, and sightseeing. Indulge in a complimentary maple syrup tasting, learn about the syrup-making process, and sample different grades. The tour also includes stops at Niagara Whirlpool, Queenston Heights, and the Floral Clock, with optional visits to Niagara-on-the-Lake in summer for more exploring and tasting.
