5.00Awesome bus tour of Niagara Falls from Toronto. Harun with Airlink Niagara Tours was our driver and guide. Very nice, informative, and efficient. This tour with skip the lines to Journey Behind the Falls and Niagara City Cruise Tours exceeded expectations. Harun’s pointers for each tourist attraction was invaluable. It was a great experience for me and my teenage kids. Would highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to see Niagara Falls from Toronto
Excellent

4.00Tour guide (Shanz) I think is his name, was excellent, he was informative and polite throughout the entire trip. Perhaps do an earlier pick up to speak more time, I would not have mind an 8 a.m. pick up just to have additional time at the places. Additionally, bookings with children should be in a different trip to adults, as this can disturb the experience of those without kids (under 13 children).
Amazing

5.00This was my first time visiting Niagara Falls. The tour schedule was incredibly well-organized—I especially loved that the pickup time wasn't too early! While the time spent at each stop felt a bit short at times, it was still more than enough to fully enjoy it. I was also so happy that we actually got to get off the bus and take photos at the places listed as just "pass by" on the itinerary! To be honest, I didn't expect much from the Maple Leaf Shop since it was a shopping stop, but I'm so glad we went. Also, the Journey Behind the Falls and the cruise experience were absolutely the best parts. They will stay in my memory for the rest of my life. Huge thanks to our tour guide, Haroon, for the hard work! Thank you so much.
Great Tour + Fantastic Tour Guide, Kumar!

5.00Lovely tour! Was a full day of activities and well organized. Lots of time for exploring together as a group and individually! Glad we had skip the line access as well, and our tour guide Kumar was fantastic! He answered all our questions, was humorous, and knowledgeable about all the landmarks! 10/10 experience with Kumar! Will be recommending this tour to friends and family :)
Highlight of our trip!
