What Is the Best Value Niagara Falls Day Tour — 12 Convenient Pickups?
Quick answer
The Best Value Niagara Falls Day Tour from Toronto is our most affordable guided day trip, priced at just $125 per person. It picks you up from one of 12 convenient spots across downtown Toronto and Mississauga, brings you to the Canadian side of Niagara Falls with around three hours of free time, then takes in the scenic Niagara Parkway, the Whirlpool Rapids, the Floral Clock and a Niagara-on-the-Lake stopover before dropping you back in Toronto the same evening.
