What you'll do
Embark on an extraordinary Niagara Falls adventure with this all-inclusive afternoon and evening tour. The itinerary is curated to ensure the best of Niagara. Start with pickups in Toronto, Mississauga, and Niagara Falls with a licensed tour guide who will share commentary. It's a 9-hour day from Toronto or a 5-hour day if starting in Niagara. First, we'll stop at the famous Floral Showhouse where you can capture beautiful photos of seasonal flower displays. Next, you'll get up close to the Canadian Horseshoe Falls with the Journey Behind the Falls. Dinner includes a 3-course meal overlooking the waterfalls at a famous Niagara restaurant. A special part of the experience is an exclusive VIP tour of Illumination Tower, where the colours of the waterfalls at night are controlled. You'll see how it's done and be able to control lit yourself! From November 18 to January 7, experience the Winter Festival of Lights, a dazzling bonus of 75 light displays made up of 3 million lights.

Our first stop will be at the Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse! This will also be a rest stop after the drive from Toronto. Explore this garden oasis just a short walk south of the Canadian Horseshoe Falls. With three main display houses, a stunning tropical foyer, and a Life on Display miniature village collection, you'll want to visit again and again. The Niagara Parks Floral Showhouse features several floral shows each year, celebrating major holidays, community events and the beauty of nature. Don't miss the incredible collections of orchids, succulents, and other tropical plant species that are on display year-round.

To stand at the heart of Niagara, you’ll first need to descend 125 feet and explore 130-year-old tunnels through the bedrock, but you’ll feel the thunderous vibration of the Horseshoe Falls long before you see them. The observation deck at the foot of this 13-storey-tall wonder will leave you breathless (and maybe a little bit wet), but don’t forget the viewing portals cut straight through the rock, offering a once-in-a-lifetime view of one-fifth of the world’s freshwater crashing down in front of you.

Every evening beginning at dusk, Niagara Falls is transformed into an incredible, multi-coloured water and light masterpiece. Special lights are housed in the Illumination Tower, next to Queen Victoria Place; on the roof of Table Rock Centre, at the brink of the Horseshoe Falls; and deep in the Niagara Gorge, across from the American Falls. Together, these lights work to create a breathtaking view of the waterfalls not to be missed. As part of your tour of the Illumination Tower, you will be able to control the lights and have the best views of the waterfalls in the nighttime.
