Pickup FAQ

Does the tour pick up at the hotel directly?

Scheduled tours stop at 300 Front St W (300 Front St W), a 5 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 8:05 am. Leave about 15 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 8:05 am pickup?

The Starbucks you are meeting in front of opens before pickup, so order while you watch for the coach.

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 reach Niagara Falls without a car?

Cheapest is the GO+WEGO combo, from CA$22 on weekend days. Budget roughly 2 hours each way plus the 2 km hop from the GO station to the falls. The CA$99 coach tour picking up at 300 Front St W, in front of the Starbucks, 15 minutes from Ritz-Carlton, is the direct alternative: 90 minutes to the falls with a guide and scenic stops.

Is there a shuttle bus between Toronto and Niagara Falls?

No scheduled shuttle service connects downtown hotels to the falls. Tours fill that role: our coach stops at 300 Front St W, in front of the Starbucks at 8:05 am, a 15 minute walk from your lobby.

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

Both are worth it for different reasons. Daytime gives you the full scale of the falls and the boat cruise; the evening tour catches the illumination, with fireworks on select summer nights. From Ritz-Carlton the day coach leaves 300 Front St W, in front of the Starbucks at 8:05 am and the evening coach at 1:25 pm in summer (12:20 pm in winter).
