Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto Optional Cruise & Journey
Toronto, ON 233
From Toronto, Niagara Falls is about 130 kilometres down the Queen Elizabeth Way — close enough for a same-day round trip, far enough that letting someone else drive is a real pleasure. Tours leave downtown in the morning, often with hotel pickup, and are back by early evening.
The classic package pairs free time at Table Rock with the boat cruise to the base of the falls in season and Journey Behind the Falls, the tunnels that open out behind the curtain of water. Many itineraries add a stop in Niagara-on-the-Lake with a winery tasting; others go for a falls-view dinner or the Clifton Hill skywheel. Small-group departures and private tours cost more but keep you off the big coaches.
Tours that include the cruise or the walk behind the falls are listed first. Prices from $21.49.

Prices start around $21.49 and depend on what is included: transport only, boat cruise, Journey Behind the Falls, Skylon Tower, a meal or a tasting. Private tours cost considerably more than group tours.
No. The boats sail in the warmer months, generally spring through fall, depending on ice on the river. In winter, tours swap the cruise for other stops such as Journey Behind the Falls, which is open year-round.
A tour from Toronto takes the full day, often 9 to 10 hours door to door. On site, a guided tour runs two to five hours depending on how many attractions it covers.
Each tour has its own meeting point, shown on its listing and confirmed when you book. Many also offer hotel pickup.
Not for the Canadian side. Only tours that cross to the American side — they say so in their title — require a valid passport and, depending on your nationality, a visa.
