Overview
This private tour puts three of the best ways to see Niagara Falls into one easy day for your group. You ride the glass elevator up Skylon Tower, head down 125 feet to the tunnels of Journey Behind the Falls, and, in season, take the boat to the base of the Horseshoe Falls.
We pick you up in the Niagara region or the Greater Toronto Area, and one licensed, insured driver-guide looks after the driving and timing. To finish, we drive the Niagara Parkway past the Whirlpool, with the Floral Clock added from May to October.
