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 10 minute walk back to your hotel.

Before and after your tour around Westin Harbour Castle

The Westin faces the lake, so the morning walk up Bay Street doubles as a harbour view. Back by 5:30 pm, the Toronto Islands ferry leaves from the terminal next door, one of the best evening add-ons in the city.

Pickup FAQ

Does the tour pick up at the hotel directly?

Scheduled tours stop at the Fairmont Royal York (100 Front St W), a 10 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 20 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.

Is it cheaper to Uber to Niagara Falls or take a tour?

A one-way rideshare to the falls generally exceeds CA$100, and you still need to get back. Most guests staying at Westin Harbour Castle find the CA$99 round-trip tour from the Fairmont Royal York, 15 minutes away, the cheaper and easier version of the same drive.

Is a passport required on the Niagara Falls day tour?

You will not cross a border: the falls, the boat, and every stop are on the Canadian side. Leave the passport in the hotel safe.

Is 4 hours enough time at Niagara Falls?

Yes, four hours covers the essentials comfortably: the boat sails 20 minutes, the falls boardwalk and viewpoints take about an hour, and that still leaves time for lunch on Clifton Hill. For more depth, Package 2 (CA$159) adds skip-the-line boat tickets so you lose no time in queues.
