Private tours from the Courtyard by Marriott

Groups, families and corporate outings can skip the coach entirely: a private tour from your hotel starts at the Courtyard by Marriott's door, runs on your schedule with your own guide, and is quoted in full within 12 hours.

A little history: College Park

College Park across the street opened in 1930 as Eaton's College Street, an art deco department store palace with a seventh-floor concert hall, The Carlu, that hosted Glenn Gould and Frank Sinatra and still runs events today. The building's restored deco lobby is worth the two-minute detour while you wait for the coach.

Courtyard pickup questions

What time should I be at the pickup spot?

Please arrive 15 minutes before your scheduled pickup time. The coach stops briefly at each point, so being early keeps the whole tour on schedule.

Where exactly does the coach stop?

Outside the Courtyard by Marriott's rear exit on Wood Street, behind 475 Yonge St.

Where can I get coffee before pickup?

College Park's food court sits across the street, and the hotel lobby pours coffee from early morning.

What if I am running late?

Call or WhatsApp us at +1 416-792-7968 as soon as you can and we will tell you the best option, which is sometimes catching the coach at its next pickup point.

Can I bring luggage on the tour?

There is no luggage storage on the coach, so travel light. If you are checking out that morning, leave your bags with your hotel's bell desk or a downtown luggage service and collect them after drop-off.

What time do tours leave from this stop?

The day tour departs at 7:40 am and returns around 5:00 to 5:30 pm. The evening tour leaves the same spot at 1:05 pm in summer (May 8 to October 15) and 12:00 pm in winter. Arrive 5 to 10 minutes early; the coach stops briefly and cannot wait.

What is the cheapest way to get to Niagara Falls from downtown Toronto?

The honest answer is the GO Train with a WEGO combo, CA$22 on weekends and CA$34 on weekdays in 2026. It takes about 2 hours each way and Niagara Falls GO Station sits 2 km from the falls. Our CA$99 day tour from the Courtyard Marriott at 475 Yonge St trades a few dollars for a direct 90 minute coach, a licensed guide, and Whirlpool and Parkway stops the train skips.

Does any shuttle run from downtown hotels to the falls?

Shuttles as such do not exist on this route. You either take transit with transfers or book a tour seat. Ours picks up at the Courtyard Marriott at 475 Yonge St, None minutes from Courtyard by Marriott Toronto Downtown, at 7:40 am.
