Hornblower Niagara Cruises (seasonal)
Gratuities (optional)
I was very impressed with the company’s communication; when our hotel had plumbing issues and we were sent somewhere else, I let them know and it was not a problem! Vinny was our tour guide and he was great! He’s very knowledgeable on the area and gives you a bit of history along the way.
The tour begins with a complimentary pick-up in Niagara followed by a visit to Skylon Tower Observation Deck to enjoy a bird's eye view of the Falls.
Next is a visit to Journey Behind the Falls, where you'll go through a series of tunnels that allow you to hear and feel the Falls. Afterward, you will have free time to visit the lookout point along the brink of Horseshoe Falls.
Then, board the Hornblower Cruise (seasonal, operating May-November only, replaced with admission to “Niagara: Miracles, Myths & Magic” at the Greg Frewin Theatre and Butterfly Conservatory) and head out onto the gorge, where you'll be so close to the falls that you'll be able to feel the spray of water on your face!
Afterward, your guide will take you on a narrated driving tour of the city, where you will learn about Niagara’s history and distinct geography. During the driving portion of your tour you will see several sights including the Dufferin Islands, the International Control Dam, the Old Scow, Whirlpool Rapids and the Floral Clock.
At the end of your Niagara Falls tour, your guide will drop you off back at your hotel.
