My sons and I had a great experience - perfect cadence of activities and enough time to fully enjoy each one. The highlight was the illumination tour. The tour put together a variety of activities that I wouldn't have been able to find and it gave us priority access to make the day super efficient and fun! Thank you!

We learned about and saw Niagra Falls from a variety of perspectives, in a organized and efficient manner. This is not the tour for those who want to linger at sites and rather for those who want an varied overview of Niagra Falls. Would do again with other friends and family.

I honestly didn’t expect to be THAT blown away. Did the Day and Night Combo Tour last week w/ my partner—total game changer. The boat ride was the best part for us (got SOAKED, bring extra socks lol). Our guide, Marco, kept things light and fun, even when we hit some crowds right before sunset. Seeing the falls lit up at night was a whole vibe. We got a bit chilly after dark so maybe pack a light jacket (even in May!). The only thing that bugged me was that the elevator lines at Skylon Tower were kinda long, but worth it for the view. Def worth the $$ and time. Would do again for sure.

Took my two teens and my wife. The kids LOVED the boat cruise (water ponchos are a must, trust me). The night lights were honestly magical, but my youngest got cranky waiting for the tower elevator. Our guide had great jokes and facts. Would skip the souvenir shop next time—kinda overpriced.

Epic day out. Did the tour with a bunch of friends on a bachelor trip. The Journey Behind the Falls was way cooler than I expected—so loud down there! The night lights were sick but we were all wiped by then. Our guide had a never-ending supply of fun facts. Would’ve liked a bit more time at the Skylon bar, but hey, can’t have it all.

Went solo and honestly, it was just okay. The day part dragged a bit, and I wish we had more time at the Illumination Tower—it felt suuuper rushed. Good way to tick off the main sights tho. Guide was nice but sometimes hard to hear in the crowd. Probably better if you’re w/ friends or family.
Julia

Seeing the fireworks from the Hornblower was a great way to watch, so much better than from land. We also had the opportunity to go behind the scenes into the illumination tower to see how the colors are changed for both American and Horseshoe Falls. What a treat to see the man behind the curtain in charge of changing the lights. So fancy compared to the early days. The one thing that put a slight damper on the evening was how dinner was rushed - we were told dinner was at Table Rock but it ended up being at Queen Victorias. The food was incredible I just wish we had more than an hour to enjoy it.

Took my parents for a birthday treat and this night tour was just... wow. The falls LIT UP in all those colors, and we even got to press the button to change them ourselves! Our guide, Sam, cracked so many jokes and made us feel like VIPs. Bit chilly so I was glad I brought a scarf, but honestly, the lights and fireworks were worth every goosebump. We stayed after to watch the lights shift for a while, just soaking it all in. 10/10, will remember this forever.

Boat tour/illumination tower. It was hard to locate guide, did not have on clothing that was mentioned in directions to assist with identification. We did not dine at restaurant mentioned in tour details, so we had to go to another restaurant and dinner was rushed.

The walking tour was insightful. It was hard to find the tour guide, though. The Hornblower ride was also great! Lines moved quickly and things ran smoothly.

The walking tour was insightful. It was hard to find the tour guide, though. The Hornblower ride was also great! Lines moved quickly and things ran smoothly. The ride itself allowed plenty of time to take in all of the sights and fully enjoy them. I only gave a 4 star instead of 5 star because of the difficulty finding the tour guide.

Honestly, this tour felt like the cherry on top of our whole Canada trip. Didn’t expect Bernard to be so fun! He kept cracking these little jokes and somehow made the history bits interesting (never happens for me). Bus was CLEAN, which my mum appreciated. We did the flower clock, syrup tasting (soooo sweet, but good), and my fave – the Skylon Tower. View up there is EPIC! I’d say try to snag a window seat if you can. Only thing – we hit a little traffic on the way back but Bernard kept everyone chill. Would def recommend if you want to see Niagara without the stress.

Went solo and honestly was a little nervous (not big on group tours), but the vibe was super relaxed. Our guide, Fsheen, had endless Niagara facts and some realllly questionable puns. Bus AC worked great, which was a lifesaver ‘cause it was HOT outside. Falls were crowded but we got close enough for good pics. Behind the Falls tour is worth it, just bring a poncho or smth – I got soaked. Only thing, lunch stop was a bit rushed but the maple fudge at the shop next door? 10/10.

Amazing day. The falls are more spectacular than I anticipated
We did behind the falls, Skylon tower and boat ride. We also did additional helicopter ride.
All amazing but to be honest a bit too much to cram in. It's a bit of a rush to do it all. We almost missed the boat trip as the queue was so big. We just managed to do it, but was 50-50 if we made it back to the coach in time.
Do the boat first!! Not last, as it's the best bit so don't risk missing it

My daughter (14 years old) and I did the all-inclusive tour (Floral Clock, Whirlpool, Maple Syrup Tasting, Behind the falls, Tower, Boat Tour) at the end of July and were very enthusiastic. Our expectations were fully met and if we had to choose, we would book it again! I'll start with the "but" in the description: The first three stops in particular are very short or "touristy" (of course it's the whole vacation, otherwise we wouldn't be here). That means getting off the bus, taking photos and getting back on the bus. The maple syrup tasting is nice and at the same time clearly commercial! Did we have a problem with that? No! Why? The clear answer: the tour guide and our expectations. It was clear to us from the outset that the group tour was a group tour and therefore not everyone could hang around everywhere for hours. At the same time, and we both found this very positive, the tour guide told us from the outset how things would go and what we could actually expect. The Floral Clock is just a few flowers. Should you stop there? Yes! Should you stop there for a long time? No! So everything done right. The same with the other "advance" stops. It was completely different at the falls themselves. It was clearly explained to us when we should be where. Where we had to go and how to get in. Here, we were actually guided to the respective door so that we couldn't get lost (although it did happen to us on the way back on our own). We had enough time at ALL the stations and were able to see everything in a relatively relaxed manner. Behind the falls and the tower are quite nice and if you are there, you should definitely do that (the guide was right there too, you probably only come here once). The real highlight was of course the boat tour. Very impressive, very wet and an absolute must! Tip: Despite the poncho, pack a change of clothes and, if possible, perhaps slippers or similar for the boat. We stood at the bottom and at the very front and the water ran into the top of our boncho and our feet got wet from below. On the upper deck, at least our feet seemed to stay dry. The return journey took almost 2.5 hours due to the evening traffic jam. On a positive note, a short break was made so that we could use the toilets or buy snacks if necessary (not a planned tourist activity!). We stopped at a Tim Horton's so no commission for the driver or guide from the store). The bottom line, and you can probably tell from the review, is that the trip was worthwhile and is also highly recommended in terms of value for money! It's probably cheaper if you travel or take care of it yourself, but for us as "uninformed tourists" the package was definitely the right choice. Thank you very much!

Our tour guide was fantastic! We were his first tour group as he had been in training to become a guide, and he was amazing. He was funny and friendly and had some great recommendations of places to eat and see in Toronto as well. The tours were great, though with all the add-ons, we didn't actually get enough free time to see the town, so that was a bit of a bummer, but overall was a great value for the cost.

This day tour from Toronto to Niagara Falls was absolutely outstanding in every way! The deciding factor for this perfect experience was our tour guide Bernard. Bernard was not only open and incredibly friendly, but also super organized and clearly experienced. His calm, competent manner made us feel safe right from the start. The real surprise and a huge plus: although the tour was advertised as English-speaking, Bernard spoke excellent, fluent German! He took great care of his German guests, explaining everything in German and patiently answering questions, making for a particularly pleasant and personal experience. This care and fluency really set this tour apart from others. The tour was excellently organized and perfectly timed. Bernard guided us quickly, but never rushed, from highlight to highlight. We had enough time to marvel at the mighty falls from different perspectives (including time for the famous Maid of the Mist boat trip or similar, depending on the tour package). Waiting times are not always avoidable but stress was definitely not part of this tour. The smooth operation was testament to Bernard's vast experience. Conclusion: If you are looking for a perfectly organized, stress-free and extremely rewarding day trip to Niagara Falls, this tour is the absolute recommendation! Bernard's professionalism, charm, organization and above all his excellent knowledge of German and his care for German guests make this tour a real highlight. An all-round successful experience that we would recommend to anyone without hesitation - especially to German-speaking travelers who will feel that they are in good hands with Bernard!

Bus trip was terrible, 4 hrs to get to the falls, 3 hrs to get back (traffic not your fault), then we had to rush like mad to see the tower, behind falls, & boat cruise by 3.30 pm....the bus left us behind at the tower at 12.45 pm...lots of wasted time (eg, stopping at maple leaf centre)...we had no time to look at the falls from the pathway

We had such a blast! Me and my partner joined the Niagara day trip with BG Tours and I gotta say, it was organized but still chill. Our guide Bernard made sure we didn’t miss anything (even reminded me to grab my phone before leaving the bus, lol). The highlight was the boat ride – you WILL get wet, but it’s part of the fun. We also did the helicopter add-on, pricey but so worth. Would do it again in a heartbeat.

Booked this with my family (two kids, ages 7 and 10) and it went sooo smoothly. Kids loved the Butterfly Conservatory the most (so many colors!). Bernard gave us lots of tips, like where to stand for the best view of the falls. Bus was comfy, snacks allowed (my daughter dropped crumbs everywhere, sorry Bernard!). Only downside was the gift shop prices, but that’s touristy stuff for ya. Would book again, thanks!

If you want to cram a lot into one day, this is the way to do it. I went with friends and we loved the Skylon Tower (it’s HIGH, not for those scared of heights). Maple syrup tasting was a nice touch, but the real star is the falls. Fsheen handled the group well, even when a couple people were late back to the bus. Weather was perfect, but can imagine it’s less fun if it rains. Heads up: bathrooms at some stops are a bit eh.

Absolutely! The illuminated Falls are captivating for all ages, and the tours offer interesting commentary suitable for children. However, remember that young children may get tired on a long day tour, so carry snacks, water, and any necessary items to keep them comfortable.
Is there anything else I should know before booking a night tour of Niagara Falls?
Be sure to confirm the exact itinerary and any seasonal variations, such as the availability of the boat cruise versus Journey Behind the Falls. Consider the weather and prepare accordingly. Make early reservations, especially during peak tourist seasons, to secure your spot and any desired upgrades. Also, consider bringing your camera with a tripod to capture stunning nighttime photos of the illuminated Falls.

Bernie was the highlight of the tour funny enough. He called a squirrel to come like a Disney prince! His passion for educating us while on the tour, giving us tje history behind every rock, wave and waterfall truly captured the experience well. Thank you Bernie for making my engagement trip with my fiancée all the better!

Out tour guide was awesome! Jacob was so informative & funnt! He made listening easy.
Boat ride was great but our favorite was cave in winds. Recommend this tour to everyone. It also gave to accessibility for trolley service which we used even after the scheduled tour yo visit other parts of the Niagara Falls park.

We very much liked the boat ride to the falls. It was an incredible experience with the water in the air and the turbulences of the falling water. The raincoat provided is a good protection against the water. Of course, the shoes get wet which can be accepted.
However, the guided tour before was not so well organized. Because of the background noise of the falls the guy was difficult to understand and because of the large group he could not get through to everyone. For such problems one can imagine better solutions.

We had the ultimate Niagara Park tour guide — knowledgeable enough to teach a masterclass, kind enough to lend you an umbrella, and funny enough to make you forget you’re wearing a giant blue garbage bag (a.k.a. the Maid of the Mist poncho). He made the history exciting, the walk easy, and the boat ride unforgettable. 10/10 would get soaked again.

Our tour guide was amazing. She was a very personable and kind.
In the beginning we had trouble finding the group. The initial email said we would be meeting outside of the Skylon Tower and our tour guide would be wearing a white shirt. After some stressful waiting out front, we learned that everyone was gathering inside and the tour guides were wearing black shirts. A simple update to their generic email would have solved this issue. There were other patrons waiting outside with us just as confused.
With that all said, it was a great experience and we would use this tour organization again if opportunity arises.
