What's included in this Niagara Falls guided tour?

Skip-the-line entry to the Skylon Tower, the new Daredevils Exhibit, and Journey Behind the Falls, plus a poncho and an expert guide for the walking portion. Your guide arranges every ticket, so you move between the three experiences without the queues.

Do we get to skip the lines?

Yes. Your Skylon Tower and Journey Behind the Falls tickets are pre-reserved and skip-the-line, so you bypass the general public queues at both, which can run long in peak season.

Is it a guided tour the whole way through?

Mostly. Your guide leads the Skylon Tower, the Daredevils Exhibit, and the boardwalk walk, then hands you a timed ticket for Journey Behind the Falls, which you explore at your own pace.

Is this tour in Canada or the United States?

It's on the Canadian side, in Niagara Falls, Ontario, which is widely considered to offer the best head-on views of both the Canadian Horseshoe Falls and the American Falls.

How long is the tour, and how much walking is involved?

About 2.5 hours, including roughly a kilometer of flat boardwalk between sites, plus tower decks and tunnels. Your guide sets a comfortable pace with plenty of photo stops.

Is the tour weather-dependent?

It runs in most weather, and a poncho is included because the area near the falls and behind them gets misty. Dress for the day and bring a layer, since it's cooler and breezier by the water.

Is the tour suitable for families?

Yes, it's a great family outing; children's and infant tickets are available, and the tower views, daredevil barrels, and tunnels behind the falls tend to delight all ages.

Is the tour accessible for guests with mobility needs?

We want everyone to enjoy the falls. The towers and Journey Behind the Falls have elevators, with a flat boardwalk between sites; tell us about any mobility needs when you book and we'll advise.

In the lobby of the Skylon Tower at 5200 Robinson St, next to the Starbucks. Your guide carries a green Walks sign; please arrive 15 minutes early.

Pre-reserved tickets and a poncho mean you just show up.

•Step into the 2025 Daredevils Exhibit and see the real barrels that went over
•Walk the boardwalk with a guide, from Queen Victoria Place to the Illumination Tower

What to expect

The Skylon Tower: Niagara from 775 feet

You'll start at the top, riding the Skylon Tower to a deck 775 feet above the falls. From here both the Canadian and American Falls open out below, with the Niagara River winding away and, on a clear day, the Toronto skyline on the horizon. Your guide points out the landmarks and the engineering that shaped the whole gorge.

Daredevils and the walk to the water

Back at ground level, the 2025 Daredevils Exhibit tells the stories of the people who went over the falls, with the real barrels they used on display. Then you'll walk about a kilometer of boardwalk with your guide, past Queen Victoria Place and its royal ties and the Illumination Tower that lights the falls each night. The stories, including how Niagara made its name for ice wine, fill the walk between photo stops.

From the Skylon deck you see how big this all is. Three hours later you're standing behind the water feeling it in your chest. That contrast is the whole tour.
