Best of Niagara City Tour

Breakfast at the Sheraton Centre Toronto

8:00 Departure for full day tour of Niagara-on-the-Lake and Niagara Falls by deluxe motor

coach.

Your excursion will be conducted by a professional licensed tour guide.

9:30 Tour of Niagara-on-the-Lake with time for personal discoveries

Niagara-on-the-Lake is home to 28 different wineries, each as unique as the wines they create.

Nestled among beautiful orchards, these large estates, medium-sized operations and small boutiques

offer a wide selection of award-winning and famous vintages and ice wines, as well as up and coming

labels. Famous for its Heritage District, Niagara-on-the-Lake proudly presents a delightful shopping

experience for visitors of all ages. Whether you are looking for antique shops, specialty foods, wines,

or unique gifts, the merchants of Niagara-on-the-Lake will deliver a multitude of exceptional options.

12:00 Lunch at the Peller Estates in Niagara-on-the-Lake

Peller Estates is a special place, where people come to celebrate the joy of great wine, great food and

great company. It’s also a place rich in history where you can learn and celebrate the many wonderful

nuances of wine and the winemaking process: growing and tasting, pairing and serving, buying and

cellaring. Sweeping vineyard views and a warm ambiance make it easy to relax and enjoy life’s simple

pleasures. Chef Jason Parsons showcases his talent with evolving seasonal menus and Winemaker

Lawrence Buhler’s expert wine pairing skill ensures a truly memorable meal.

13:30 Transfer to Niagara Falls with a tour of Niagara Falls

Niagara is one of the most attractive four-season destinations in the world. From the sheer spectacle

of Niagara Falls to the regionʼs renowned wine country, from its rich history to its beautiful parks and

hiking and biking trails, Niagara overflows with things to see and do. The attractions are abundant and

appealing. With its spectacular natural setting between two Great Lakes and bordering the Niagara

River, the region is a peninsula that rises up into a towering escarpment, and while Niagara Falls may be the area’s most famous natural attraction, it is just one of Niagara’s many wonders.

15:00 Cruise excursion on board the Maid of the Mist

The Maid of the Mist is by far the most famous attraction in Niagara Falls other than the Falls itself.

Debuting in 1846, the Maid of the Mist is North America’s oldest tourist attraction and has been

ridden by dignitaries and celebrities such as Princess Diana, Marilyn Monroe, former Soviet President

Mikhail Gorbechev and Brad Pitt. The Maid of the Mist is a powerful diesel-engined boat which will

take you from the Canadian docks past the base of the American Falls, then into the basin of the

magnificent Canadian Horseshoe Falls. A historical ride aboard these world-famous boats is a half

hour thrill of a lifetime, as water rushes all around giving you the opportunity to `soak` in the excitement

and explore the roar of the Falls. A recyclable souvenir raincoat is provided to help keep you dry from

the mist and spray.
