Mary was our tour guide in Niagara Falls- she was so knowledgeable and prepared. We also missed our meeting time and she was so gracious to let us meet up with her for the rest of the tour- she did her job with such kindness. During our mess-up of not going to the correct meeting place, I called the support number and Jill was fantastic. She helped us to know what to do next, again with such a pleasant tone.

Ashton was a terrific representative for your company. We loved the tunnel the most, and most of the boat. The captain thought drowning us in "mist?" was going to be refreshing. Um. Tooooo coooold! We will never forget our day and the photos are a treasure.

I appreciated getting an up close and personal experience and the history presented in the guided tour was actually nice. However I did not appreciate that we were not given options for parking. We had a terrible time finding parking and it was very far from the meet up spot and even further from the ending of the tour area. Super long walk and was given no info about other options that were clearly cheaper and closer. It was cold and we were wet and ended up having to Uber back to our car because we were freezing! That made the experinece far worse because we were miserable by the end of the tour. Also upon booking, it would have been nice to have more detailed info on what to wear. We assumed rain boots and rain coat but no we actually needed full rain or snow body suits. Our legs, jeans and down my boot into my socks were even wet. We were completely drenched, those cheap plastic ponchos didnt do anything. Overall 2.5/5 stars.

We loved our guide Alisha. She had a great upbeat personality that made the tour more exciting. She gave a lot of good information regarding history and places to go or places to eat. We loved that the tour due to it hitting all the spots that we were interested in seeing. It would be a nice option for people that want to stay at the locations longer to pick an extended time tour. We liked the time frame we were at for each location but if we had an elderly person with us, I could see them wanting more time at each location or needing more time to get to the next location. We loved and will recommend to family and friends in the future.

Idaina was very informative and accommodating. My 2 friends and I got lost trying to find her at the Skylon Tower but she made sure we got there and waited a few extra minutes for us. The tour was very good but I wish it had more information on the walking distances. We highly recommend Idaina as a guide!

The hornblower experience was great even though we could here none of the commentary. No where on your site does it mention the amount of walking required or the # of stairs or the pace. It felt rushed...both time at the sites and the walking pace. Our guide stopped a few times to talk about what we were looking at but the rest of the time he would speak while walking but only the few right beside him could hear. There were only 4 of us in the group. Why call it a guided tour when we are simply dropped off at the venue door?

Going on the boat feeling the mist was such a good experience and then for journey behind the falls we were able to skip the line and go down to the tunnels which was very cool! This tour is an experience you don’t want to miss and John S made it even better!

Ashton was a terrific representative for your company. We loved the tunnel the most, and most of the boat. The captain thought drowning us in "mist?" was going to be refreshing. Um. Tooooo coooold! We will never forget our day and the photos are a treasure.

We loved our guide Alisha. She had a great upbeat personality that made the tour more exciting. She gave a lot of good information regarding history and places to go or places to eat. We loved that the tour due to it hitting all the spots that we were interested in seeing. It would be a nice option for people that want to stay at the locations longer to pick an extended time tour. We liked the time frame we were at for each location but if we had an elderly person with us, I could see them wanting more time at each location or needing more time to get to the next location. We loved and will recommend to family and friends in the future.

Idaina was very informative and accommodating. My 2 friends and I got lost trying to find her at the Skylon Tower but she made sure we got there and waited a few extra minutes for us. The tour was very good but I wish it had more information on the walking distances. We highly recommend Idaina as a guide!

The hornblower experience was great even though we could here none of the commentary. No where on your site does it mention the amount of walking required or the # of stairs or the pace. It felt rushed...both time at the sites and the walking pace. Our guide stopped a few times to talk about what we were looking at but the rest of the time he would speak while walking but only the few right beside him could hear. There were only 4 of us in the group. Why call it a guided tour when we are simply dropped off at the venue door?

Would definitely recommend doing the guided tour. It took out all the stress of trying to navigate trying to get to all the attractions. The guide walks you to all the attractions while telling you facts about the falls. The guide also has all tickets printed out and walks you to the front of the line. 10/10

It was well worth the money. Our tour guides, Alora and Max were great. Very knowledgeable and accomodating. Having the tour guides also allowed us to get on premium ticket lines which were much shorter. I recommend taking the 10am time slot as it's about a 3 hour tour that ends right around lunch time. I would definitely use this tour service again!

Pamela was an amazing tour guide! We loved the tours and the fact that we were driven and we didn't have to walk from the hotel. We had our 6 year old and 11 year old kids and the time was perfect. Anything longer and the 6 year old would have been timed out! The kids loved the boat ride and getting soaked!

Niagara Falls | Natural beauty that cascades over two countries

If magnificence is anything to go by, the scenic Niagara Falls is sure to take your breath away! This natural marvel is a cross-border marvel, with not one, but three waterfalls in both America and Canada combined. On this page, you will find everything you need to know before booking your Niagara Falls tickets and tours including your ticket options, getting to the attraction, visiting tips and more!

Did you know?

Rainbow Bridge across the Niagara River is the closest crossing point between the two cities. Pedestrians can walk to the opposite side, tour the whole day, and return in the evening. It is important to have the proper documentation otherwise you will be denied entry. Read more about the required documentation in the following section.

Things to know before booking your Niagara Falls tours

  • Understanding the geography: Before planning your trip to Niagara Falls, it's important to know that the falls are divided between two countries: the United States and Canada. The American Falls and Bridal Veil Falls are on the US side, while the Horseshoe Falls are primarily on the Canadian side. 
  • Some attractions are seasonal: Boat cruises like the Maid of the Mist and Hornblower as well as water activities operate from April to November. Year-round attractions include Journey Behind the Falls, Cave of the Winds, the Underground Power Station & Tunnel Tour, Skylon Tower, Niagara Parks Botanical Gardens, and the Butterfly Conservatory.
  • The better view: While both sides of the falls offer stellar views of the falls, the Canadian side with Horseshoe Falls is often favored. The Hornblower Cruise offers closer proximity to the falls and unobstructed views, making it a popular choice for photographers and tourists. 
  • Foreign tourists need visas to enter both countries: If you are not a citizen of the US or Canada and plan on visiting both sides of Niagara Falls, you will need to get a US tourist visa and a Canadian tourist visa beforehand from your home country.
  • US and Canadian citizens crossing the border: US citizens over the age of 16 years will need a Passport, a Passport Card, or an Enhanced Driver's Licence to enter Canada. For Canadian citizens crossing over to the US side, you will need either a Canadian Passport, any Trusted Traveler Program Cards such as NEXUS or FAST/Express enrollment cards, or an Enhanced Driver’s License.

Niagara Falls Visitor tips

Niagara Falls throughout the year

Niagara Falls Peak season

Peak season

Since the weather is warm and pleasant, Niagara Falls experiences its highest tourist traffic in the summer months of June, July, and August. With temperatures ranging from 65°F to 80°F, the mist that splashes on the tourists makes for a much-needed cool respite from the heat. All attractions, including boat and walking tours, are fully operational but expect larger crowds, longer wait times, and higher hotel prices.

Niagara Falls Mid season

Mid-season

The transitional periods between peak and low seasons that occur during spring (March to May) and fall (September to November) see a moderate crowd. In spring and fall, temperatures range from 45°F to 65°F. Not all the summer attractions will be available during this time, but most of them will still be functional. This is a good time for those who prefer milder weather and fewer crowds compared to the peak season.

Niagara Falls Low season - Niagara Falls in winter

Low season

In the winter months, between December and February, the temperatures can go as low as 20°F. The falls may partially freeze, creating stunning ice formations, and winter activities such as ice skating and winter festivals are popular. You will find significantly smaller crowds plus this is a more budget-friendly time to visit. But some attractions have reduced operating hours during this time, and a lot of activities will be closed for the season.
