Small Group: Niagara on the Lake, Niagara Falls from Toronto

About this experience

Enjoy downtown pickup, then settle into a small-group setting limited to 27 guests.
After a 90 minute ride, exit the mini coach and explore Niagara-on-the-Lake. Wander historical streets, browse charming boutiques, and sip artisanal coffee, then join the rest of the group for an expert-led tasting at a local winery.
Board the mini coach again then drift along the scenic Niagara Parkway with narrated highlights as you take in views of Whirlpool Rapids, Queenston Heights, and the Floral Clock. At Niagara Falls, linger at Table Rock Centre for epic Horseshoe Falls vistas. In summer, feel the mist on the Niagara City Cruises boat; in winter, explore the tunnels on Journey Behind the Falls.
