Felt rushed on time to see Niagara Falls

3.00In this theory this tour provides it all - a quick visit to the town of Niagara-on-the-Lake, seeing the falls and a boat tour. However, it felt rushed. We spent an hour in Niagara-on-the-Lake which sounds comfortable but it has a good stretch of main street shops/food spots so time goes by fast (and we just stopped at a bakery to get a quick croissant to keep it moving). we then left and spent 30 minutes seeing the falls - which i think is wayyy too short. we had bad weather so it felt like i barley saw them before i had to get back on the bus. and then you get back on the bus to do the boat tour, which in theory yes you are getting closer to the falls but maybe it was my particular day the mist was so bad since it was raining that we didn't really see anything. after the boat tour we had about an hour and a half to grab lunch and walk around in a very tacky/touristy area, which was around 2pm -- also a very late lunch. i wish it was designed so we did the boat tour, got back on the bus and got to spend time at the visitor center to see the naigara falls exhibits/eat there and see it from a nicer perspective. however, our tour guide was GREAT! and there really is only so many hours in a day trip, so just choose wisely on what you'd like to do -- find a tour that has a stop at Niagara-on-the-Lake, or pick a tour that goes straight to the falls and spend more time there.
Not what I expected

3.00Our tour guide was very friendly and sweet. He was very knowledgeable and informative. We did not have much top on stops as explained. And we didn't get to get out to view the clock or have time to shop. The tour seemed extremely rushed. Also, there was an issue with the date of our tour and although we were still allowed to go the representative I spoke to on the phone was extremely rude and disgusted. Over all the experience was mediocre and not what I expected.
Maybe one of the last boats of the season

5.00We had a fabulous time on the tour today. I really liked how the three hours free time was split across different locations. It really made the day flow. Michael was super knowledgeable and gave recommendations at each spot. It's a shame to read the other reviews about peoples experience with him - we didnt have this experience at all. My only comment would be some harsh braking sometimes but overall the journey was comfortable and entertaining. Thoroughly enjoyed the whole thing and would highly recommend to anyone else.
Loved the Town, Got Soaked on the Boat

5.00The stop in Niagara on the Lake town is a gem!!!! So happy we chose this tour because of that. Think every adorable Hallmark movie setting. The lavender shop is divine. The actual Falls are breathtaking! I was completely soaked from the top of the boat and never felt more alive! I wish I would have brought dry socks and another pair of shoes! As it was my coat wasn’t fully zipped so water went down my neck and soaked my shirt, leading me to purchase a sweatshirt. The poncho is for pictures, it does very little to keep you dry. Of special mention was our “Captain” Michael who is a terrific guide. Fall was in peak season and everything just perfect. I did not venture into Niagra Falls town, reminded me of Gatlinburg, TN driving by it.
Great day trip from Toronto to Niagara
