Your Experience

Explore Niagara Falls USA on a guided small-group day and night tour with key attractions, dinner, and round-trip transfers.

Getting started

Begin your tour with pickup from your accommodation or a central point in downtown Niagara Falls, USA, using the included round-trip transfers. Meet your local English-speaking guide and join a small group of no more than 7 guests for a relaxed pace. Travel together between viewpoints and attractions so you can focus on the falls while your guide handles the logistics.

Maid of the Mist boat ride

Features

  • Glide past the base of the American Falls and approach the Horseshoe Falls area, with water and mist surrounding the boat for an immersive vantage point.

  • Follow a guided visit to Goat Island, including Terrapin Point and Luna Island, with commentary from your English-speaking guide.
