Enjoy a full-day excursion to Niagara Falls from Toronto or Mississauga with Queen Tour, returning early enough to enjoy your evening back in the city. This flexible tour allows you to fully customize your experience by choosing to add skip-the-line tickets for the famous Niagara City Cruises (Hornblower) boat ride, the historic Journey Behind the Falls, or both.
Traveling comfortably by bus alongside a licensed guide, you will discover the rich history of Niagara and explore all three waterfalls from the Canadian side. The itinerary balances structured highlights—including a tasting tour at a local maple syrup and chocolate factory and scenic photo stops at regional landmarks—with ample free time to enjoy lunch and sightsee at your own pace.
Customization Options:
Base Package (Free Time): Spend your hours in Niagara exploring independently, shopping, and dining at your choice of local restaurants without pre-booked attractions.
Adventure Add-Ons (Optional): Upgrade your package by adding the Hornblower Boat Cruise (replaced with Niagara Power Station + Tunnel off-season) and/or the 125-foot descent into the Journey Behind the Falls tunnels. Additional tickets for the Skylon Tower and Niagara Helicopters can also be requested directly through your guide on the day.
