Itinerary

  • Enjoy a 1-hour guided tour of Niagara Falls State Park

    Meet in front of the Hard Rock Cafe. This is located directly across the street from parking lot 1. Look for your guide, who will arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of the Niagara Falls tour to check in (and welcome!) you for your 1-hour tour. Our uniform is a light blue polo shirt and khaki-colored pants/shorts. 

    Take a short stroll over to the Niagara Falls State Park map, where your guide shows you places visited on today’s tour. Throughout the 1-hour tour, expect fun, lesser-known facts about the American side of Niagara Falls as you take in the thundering majesty of the Horseshoe Falls (the biggest waterfall at Niagara), American Falls, and Bridal Veil Falls. 

  • Ride the historic Maid of the Mist

    One of the most fun things to do in Niagara Falls is undoubtedly hopping aboard the Maid of the Mist for a ride around the Horseshoe Falls, the largest of the waterfalls here. While the ride itself is a blast, expect to make it an even more special experience with your tour guide sharing plenty of interesting stories about the oldest attraction in the United States.
