What to do and see in Niagara Falls, Canada: The Best Tours

January 14, 2022 Kaleigh Reichenbach

Once a destination for honeymoons and family vacations, Niagara Falls has really stepped it up as an action-packed vacation spot. The falls are literally the biggest draw – watching the frothy water tumble at alarming speeds can be mesmerizing. Throw on a poncho and hop aboard the Maid of the Mist to cruise close enough to the falls to be drenched by spray. Hit the main strip of Clifton Hill for flashy tourist attractions and restaurants galore.

we were collected from our accommodation on time, however then had to do other pick ups in town which meant that we really lost about 45 mins in doing this. Our guide and driver were really good and we felt we were well looked after.

First and foremost where do I start. First our tour guide Robert was amazing and informative about Niagara Falls he was charismatic with himself and made sure everyone was safe and having a good time. I thank you for our tour sir. We got to see all the falls I don't know why people say you only see half of the horseshoe fall we seen the whole thing up close on maid of the most. I was very pleased how all the views were spectacular it was unbelievable experience I will definitely do this tour AGAIN!!!. Pricing was great as well for what you are getting there is another company that charges about 20$ more then this one and getting the same thing. I must remind you...you will get extremely wet from the cave of the winds and maid of the mist so bring sandals or slides but ready for an amazing experience.

Your first stop is Skylon Tower, you’ll head up 520 ft. in a glass elevator to the observation deck where you will be treated to an incredible, birds-eye view of all three Niagara Falls (Bridal Veil Falls, Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls), as well as the Niagara River & surrounding area. At your next stop you will descend 125 ft (approx. 40m) to explore cave-like tunnels at Journey Behind the Falls. This experience is a treat for the senses as you’ll be able to not only hear the falls, but feel them as well. Next we will take you to board the Hornblower Niagara Cruises boat ride. You will sail around the Niagara gorge, get as close as possible to the Falls and feel the refreshing mist on your skin. During the final portion of your tour, your guide will take you on a narrated driving tour of the city. Your guide will take you to several points of interest including the Dufferin Islands, the International Control Dam, the Old Scow, Whirlpool Rapids and the Floral Clock.

This was our second tour with SEESIGHT. As with the first, great service. Our host, Hassan was very helpful, friendly and knowledgeable. Due to Covid, a couple itinerary items were cancelled by the locations, but Seesight had wonderful alternatives. Dinner at night in the Skylon Tower was great, The boat to the falls, Captain Hornblower, was fantastic. The White Water Walk really shows the speed and power of the NIagara River. We will definitely book with them again. Thank You Andrea for all your help with the itinerary changes.
