4.Luxury Niagara Falls Day Trip from Toronto with Cruise and Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 172 reviews · 8 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $149

Travel from Toronto to Niagara Falls by coach or minibus with a guide such as Johnny or Garry. See Table Rock, cruise beside the Falls in season, add lunch, visit Niagara-on-the-Lake, and stop at the Whirlpool, Floral Clock, chapel, and Maple Leaf Place.

“I might have been better off driving myself. I would have been happy with just the visit to the falls and the cruise. All the stops were basically tourist traps and didn’t add anything for me except for wasted time. Also, took 3 hrs to get back because we left at 4 and there was a game that evening. 11 hr trip for 2 hrs of time I wanted to spend at the falls. Also, they didn’t pick me up at an hotel but gave me a location to meet the bus at, so pay attention to the pickup places.”
