Niagara Falls Day Tour From Toronto

Very fun day out , lovely to see the falls ! Weather was great and tour was efficiently run. Lots of opportunities to see different views of the falls.

Tour guide Shahz was incredibly patient with the other tour passengers who never came back to the bus at the agreed time. Credit to Shahz for being nicer than I would be. First stop was the flower clock. Don't use the toilets there. Honestly might be some of the worst smelling toilets I've come across in my travels. Then a drop in at the rapids then time at the main attraction, the falls. Final stop on the way home for those that purchased the additional activity. Then a straight drive home. Sound system in the van needs to be updated so we can hear the guide :) .

My experience started off very poor; the driver skipped my hotel for pickup, which I learned after waiting an hour then finally calling the company's phone to figure things out. They told me I could either rebook for the next day, or take an Uber to a specific Tim Hortons parking lot outside of the city for a second bus to pick me up (I opted for this choice, as I was flying out the next day). After a $20+ Uber (which I now have to take extra steps to hopefully get reimbursed for) and more waiting outside in the sun in a random parking lot of a foreign country, I was able to catch the second bus and begin the tour. The driver was perfectly adequate. Didn't provide much in the way of information or the sort, but got us from point to point and was able to effectively direct us where we needed to be. The driving portions were quiet (save for the regular chatter from a full bus), with no commentary or music (not a bad thing). When the driver did speak, it was without a microphone, which wasn't ideal for those of us in the back. But, again, he did his job well. The real highlight was the nature and scenery. Wow. Just gorgeous. Looking down and around at the Falls was enough to make me feel less sour about my wasted time and extra effort that morning. Before starting the drive back, the driver informed us that we would be able to get a mug that "retails for $25" if we leave a review of the tour. He passed out cards and encouraged doing so (although didn't explicitly say it had to be a positive review).
