Overview
This is a private Niagara Falls day trip from Toronto for your group only. A driver-guide picks you up at your hotel, home or Toronto Pearson, drives you to the Falls and Niagara-on-the-Lake, and brings you back within 8 hours. It costs C$1,299 in total for 1 to 4 guests and up to C$3,499 for 35 to 56 guests.
The Falls are about 1.5 hours from the GTA, so a typical day pairs the Horseshoe Falls viewpoints with a scenic drive along the Niagara Parkway and time in Niagara-on-the-Lake. You choose the pace and the stops. The price is one total for the whole vehicle, and tolls, parking and fuel are included.
Highlights
Horseshoe Falls viewpoints
Queen Victoria Park and the Niagara Parkway viewing areas, with time for photos.
Journey Behind the Falls
An elevator 125 feet down to tunnels and portals behind the Horseshoe Falls (optional). Partly accessible: the lower deck is reached by stairs.
Whirlpool and Niagara Parkway
A scenic drive along the gorge past the Whirlpool Rapids and, from May to October, the Floral Clock.
Niagara-on-the-Lake
A historic town with 19th-century streets, time for lunch and, if you like, a winery stop.
Skylon Tower
A glass elevator to the observation decks in about 52 seconds, with views of both Falls (optional).
Clifton Hill and the Falls after dark
Stay into the evening to see the Falls lit from dusk. A late return can run past 8 hours, and extra hours apply (optional).
Who it suits

Children are welcome. Tell us their ages and ask about child or booster seats.

Who is in the vehicle with us?
Only your group. There are no other travellers, and your driver-guide builds the day around you.
Where do you pick us up?
Anywhere in the Greater Toronto Area: hotel, home or Toronto Pearson Airport. Pickup outside the GTA, such as Hamilton, Guelph, Kitchener-Waterloo or Barrie, needs a custom quote.
How long does the day take?
Up to 8 hours from pickup to drop-off, including the drive each way of about 1.5 hours. Extra hours are charged. [confirm extra-hour rate]
Can we change the stops?
Yes. You can reorder or swap stops before the tour or on the day with your driver-guide, as long as the tour stays within 8 hours. The driver may adjust the plan for traffic, weather, closures or safety.
Are attraction tickets or meals included?
No. Tickets, meals and tips are extra. You can add the Journey Behind the Falls, the boat cruise (seasonal), Skylon Tower, a helicopter tour, a buffet lunch or a winery tasting. Tell us in your request and we confirm the price.
Can we see the Falls at night?
The Falls are lit every evening from dusk. The latest start time is 3:00 PM, so staying for the illumination or fireworks means a late return and extra hours. Ask for a custom quote, or see our Niagara Falls night tour.
Is the tour suitable for children?
Yes, children are welcome. Tell us their ages and ask about child or booster seats. We confirm them before the tour, but cannot guarantee them until confirmed. [confirm seat policy]

Tell us the needs before you book and we will check what can be arranged. We cannot promise a wheelchair-accessible vehicle until it is confirmed for your date.
Is this a good option for a layover or cruise day?
Pearson pickup is included, but the day takes up to 8 hours plus airport time, so it suits long layovers only.
How do I book and pay?
Send your request with the date and group size. We check availability and email your quote with a secure payment link. Bookings must be made at least 24 hours ahead. You can cancel up to 24 hours before your tour date. [confirm cancellation fee wording]
