The falls are an experience everyone should take in. Our private tour with transport was a great way of leaving the negotiation of significant traffic most of the way to the driver so we could take in the sights along the way. He was very informative along the way. Once at the falls we were dropped at the table rock visitor center where you can walk along the river and see the falls from above and then take the behind the falls tour (highly recommend) and/or have lunch or drinks overlooking the falls. From there we were driven to the city cruise dock for an up close view near the base of the falls on the boat. The complementary ponchos are mandatory as it is very wet but also exelerating. Definitely worth it. From there you can choose other attractions such as the floral clock, butterfly farm, Niagra on the Lake Town (recommended) and wine tasting rooms depending on available time. You can then sit back and savor the day's experiences in your comfortable suv on the return to Toronto. Our driver/guide Pirapa was very knowledgeable, personable, and adept at maneuvering his suv smoothly through traffic. My only regret is that most attractions have eliminated skip the line for all but very large groups. Still I would not trade that fot the comfort and luxury of our private tour.
