Getting to your pickup point

What you will do at the falls

After the short walk from your hotel, the coach handles the rest: about 90 minutes to the falls with commentary, then 3 to 4 hours of free time plus skip-the-line attraction packages. Popular picks:

• Niagara City Cruises (Hornblower) boat ride - included in the CA$159 day tour package.
• Journey Behind the Falls - the tunnels behind the waterfall, included in the CA$209 package.
• Skylon Tower and the Niagara Falls helicopter tour - optional add-ons you can book on tour day.
• Free time for Clifton Hill, Table Rock and the falls viewpoints, plus a 35 minute maple syrup and chocolate stop on the way.

When the tour drops you back

Drop-off back at the Fairmont is between 5:00 and 5:30 pm, steps from Union Station and the financial district's evening restaurants. From there it is the same 8 minute walk back to your hotel.

Before and after your tour around Novotel Toronto Centre

The Novotel's Esplanade block is one of downtown's best food streets, with the Distillery District a 15 minute walk east for post-tour patios. St. Lawrence Market, 3 minutes away, opens early enough to grab breakfast before the walk to the Fairmont stop.

Private tours from Novotel Toronto Centre

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

Pickup FAQ

Does the tour pick up at the hotel directly?

Scheduled tours stop at the Fairmont Royal York (100 Front St W), a 8 minute walk away, rather than at the door. A private tour can pick you up directly at your address.

What time should I leave the hotel?

Day tour pickup is at 8:00 am. Leave about 18 minutes before, so you arrive 15 minutes early. The coach stops briefly at each point and cannot wait.

Where can I get coffee before the 8:00 am pickup?

Union Station's food hall across the street opens early, and the Fairmont lobby has coffee if you are cutting it close.

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.

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 Fairmont Royal York trades a few dollars for a direct 90 minute coach, a licensed guide, and Whirlpool and Parkway stops the train skips.

Do I need a passport for a Niagara Falls tour?

No passport needed. The tour stays entirely on the Canadian side, there is no border crossing, and regular photo ID is all you carry.

Is it better to see Niagara Falls during the day or at night?

Day gives you the boat and full daylight views; evening gives you the illumination and select-night fireworks. The day tour leaves the Fairmont Royal York at 8:00 am; the evening coach does not stop here, so evening guests meet it at 300 Front St W instead (1:25 pm in summer, 12:20 pm in winter).
