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 2 minute walk back to your hotel.

Before and after your tour around Strathcona Hotel

The Strathcona sits in the middle of the financial district, and the walk to the coach passes Union Station's front arches. After drop-off, the PATH gets you to dozens of food courts and shops without going outside, and the CN Tower is 12 minutes on foot for evening views.

Pickup FAQ

Does the tour pick up at the hotel directly?

Scheduled tours stop at the Fairmont Royal York (100 Front St W), a 2 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 12 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 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 the Fairmont Royal York, 15 minutes from Strathcona Hotel, is the direct alternative: 90 minutes to the falls with a guide and scenic stops.

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 Fairmont Royal York, 15 minutes from Strathcona Hotel, at 8:00 am.

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

Both run daily. The day tour departs the Fairmont Royal York at 8:00 am. For the evening tour, the nearest departure is 300 Front St W at 1:25 pm in summer or 12:20 pm in winter.
