This tour gives you 4 hours of free time in Niagara Falls, more than any other tour! This includes time for sightseeing at the Horseshoe Falls, attractions, the Clifton Hill strip and lunch.

In the summer you can add the Hornblower boat ride, a cruise that takes you deep into the heart of the Niagara Gorge and takes you right into the mist of the Horseshoe waterfalls.

In the winter we make a special itinerary that includes the options of one or both of the Journey Behind the Falls or Niagara's Fury attractions. Journey Behind the Falls lets you experience the 130-year-old tunnels beneath the bedrock of the Falls and get a once-in-a-lifetime view of one-fifth of the world’s freshwater crashing down in front of you. With Niagara's Fury, you'll step inside a 4D motion theatre and discover the ancient story of Niagara Falls in this multi-sensory simulation of the last Ice Age. The temperature will drop, mist and snow will fall and you’ll be surrounded by visuals of the Niagara River.

Duration: 4 hours

Stop At: 4960 Clifton Hill, Niagara Falls, Ontario L2G 3N4 Canada

If you'd like, as part of your free time in Niagara Falls, you will be able to visit the famous Clifton Hill strip. There are many shops, restaurants and activities in Clifton Hill. These include the Niagara SkyWheel, Movieland Wax Museum (Fri – Sun), Ripley’s Believe it Or Not (Sat and Sun), Dinosaur Adventure Golf and the Great Canadian Midway.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Floral Clock, 14004 Niagara Parkway, Queenston, Niagara-on-the-Lake, Ontario L0S 1L0 Canada

Stops for photos and learn about how we convert the incredible power of the Niagara Falls waterfalls into energy.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Niagara Whirlpool, Niagara Parkway near 3850 Niagara Parkway, Niagara Falls, Ontario Canada

Stop for photos and history at the Niagara Whirlpool! It's a naturally occurring whirlpool on the Niagara River. The rapids were generated around 4,200 years ago as a consequence of upstream erosion on the Niagara Escarpment.

Duration: 15 minutes

Stop At: Maple Leaf Place, 4199 River Rd, Niagara Falls, Ontario L2E 3E7 Canada

We’ll make a quick stop at Maple Leaf Place so you can freshen up before the drive back to Toronto. While we’re there you can sample locally sourced maple syrup or purchase Canadian-inspired treats like homemade fudge, poutine, maple beer or Niagara’s famous icewine.

We had the best time on the Queen Tour Trip! Tracy our guide was fantastic, she was so informative about the local area and looked after us so well, making sure everybody had their tickets for the day and gave us lots of time at each stop. We loved the structure of the tour also, being able to look at the rapids, maple syrup tasting and obviously the best part was the falls, which were beautiful! We had plenty of time at the falls and in the nearby town to look around. But thank you mostly to Tracy who really made our trip! And has even given us recommendations of where we can go for the rest of our stay in Toronto.

The views were absolutely amazing. I loved every part of the Niagara falls experience, from the road trip from Toronto to the boat cruise at niagara falls. It felt so refreshing and I was excited I got to do this with family. Kaleb the tour guide was great👍

We would have missed it after we were misled by Viator that the Queen Tour bus was going to pick us up from the hotel!

Able to experience the boat ride for the 2nd time and 1st in journey behind the falls. Though, the experience from the 1st time I was there was different, still I enjoyed it.

The views at the Niagara Falls are stunning! I highly recommend visiting the falls and roaming around the area to soak up the entire experience: the rapids at the top of the falls, walking along the river, taking in the Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls. The boat is also an exciting way to get a sense of the force of the falls. The ride from Toronto to Niagara in a small van is comfy. However, I did feel rushed during the entire trip; the pick-up was late, which meant we were behind on schedule the entire day until the moment we hopped on the bus to drive back to Toronto. The agency did compensate us with a visit to the Skylon tower, which is a nice gesture, but it meant we had virtually no free time. Please note that although the title, the description and my booking said I ordered skip-the-line tickets, I was told by the tour guide that these slip-the-line tickets don’t exist and that it solely meant I got my ticket from him rather than having to purchase them at the ticket office. I did have to get in quite a long que for the boat.

The tour was really fun and organized! I enjoyed seeing the falls, maple syrup tasting, and whirlpool. Kaleb was an amazing tour guide and driver. I left my water bottle on the bus, and he drove an hour (off-tour) to return it to me. Best tour guide ever!!

Kaleb was an excellent driver and guide. The pre tour communications were clear, the pick up was on time and the tour commentary gave an overall understanding of the area and the Falls themselves. The boat ride was exciting and well worth doing with plenty of time to yourself to take in the extraordinary Falls and the local parklands.
